So if you have any coats you want to donate to the coat drive bring them to the next troop meeting. I need the coats prior to Nov. 10th Thank you for helping out with this community service project

 

In December we will have a mother daughter ornament workshop. Cost is 5 dollars. We will be making Grinch ornaments. I will bring a hot glue gun I remember last year was a lot of fun but a glue gun would have made it better. If you want more than one kit let me know I will be ordering them this coming week.
