Spring Camporee
Spring is just around the corner! Even though that may seem like a dream, Spring Camporee is at Little Sioux Scout Ranch, April 9th to 11th! Come join the competition, fun and fellowship with all our Lewis Clark Troops. Bring all your Scouts to the Order of the Arrow Callout, and let's enjoy the beginnings of Spring. New Ranger Doc Schaefer informs us that there should be less than 4 feet of snow by then...
Get Fired Up For Scouting
Ralston Volunteer Fire Department is working with us this year on a spring recruitment day for the Ralston area schools. Fliers will be sent home with school kids in their Thursday folder. The recruitment date is April 16 from 6-8 pm. If there are other units that would like to participate, please contact Dan Sanderson at dan.sanderson@scouting.org.
