Eagle Project
One of our scouts is working on an Eagle Project, building shelves and organizing the prop room for the SLHS Theatre Department. He'd like to have two to four boys help with fundraising before the play performance next Thursday, Friday and Saturday (April 28th-30th).

May Hike – May 13th -15th
If you have not signed up for the May Hike and are planning on attending, contact the Scoutmasters before May 3rd by phone or e-mail with T-shirt size, phone number and which hike you will be doing.
The older scouts are invited do an overnight 20-mile hike beginning on Friday evening and ending Saturday afternoon.
Younger scouts will participate in a shorter 10-mile hike along the Manistee River. This will be just a day hike so Scouts will only need a day pack with at least a Nalgene water bottle and mess kit.
All Scouts will camp out Saturday night and canoe down the Manistee River on Sunday. The canoe trip is about four hours putting the Scouts return time at about 5:00p.m. that Sunday evening.
Cost: $60
