Great Campout!

Thanks to all who made this campout a success, especially Marty Freeman.

Thanks to Father Handley for braving the heat and celebrating Mass. It was so wonderful to have the Lord present with us and we thank you for your spiritual leadership.

Photos above include sprinkler fun, a strange bug, Mass in the amphetheatre, the light of scouting, and a Black Widow.

Memorial Day Parade

New parade line up #18A!

Once again, our Cubmaster, Bob Harding, will lead us in the annual Falls Church Memorial Day Parade down Park St. Here are the plans:

Sunday, May 25
Meet at the Scout House between 2pm and 5pm - show up anytime between 2 and 5 and stay as long as you can. We will be constructing a train float. Wear old clothes suitable for painting, etc. We hope to wrap things up with a hot dog roast. We need lots of help - we always deliver an awesome float!

Monday, May 26 (Memorial Day)
Meeting place: Parade slot # 18B, near the intersection of West St. and Greenwhich
Time: Arrive no later than 1pm
Dress: Full scout uniform and comfortable shoes
Bring: Water bottle, rain jacket, if threat of rain

Parents can march with their scouts or pick up scouts at the end of the parade route. This event is great fun - both the float construction and the parade. The boys love handing out candy and marching in the parade.
