Troop 474: December 2010

Wednesday, December 22, 2010

I would like to say thanks to Fritz McMullin as he leaves his position as Scout master.
Mike Livergood will now take on the new position as Scout master.
I hope this website will be a new way to communicate to the Troop.
I am sure this will be a easier way for the SPL to lead the Troop.
