Are you interested in volunteering your time with our group?  Perhaps you’re a past Scout who would like to get involved again, knowing how much fun it is.  Maybe you cook the best pancakes, build a great bonfire?  Whatever skills you may have can be used to benefit our youth.  You can get involved as a leader or as an administrative support behind the scenes.  We will provide the training and resources – call or e-mail us for more information on how to get involved!
