Our pack has stand alone female dens now for Wolves, Bears, Webelos and AOL. I also saw in the audience some older sisters that I learned are going to join the Scouts BSA troop that the church is sponsoring when it fires up in 2019.

Every once in a while I get a call from my antique mall store with a customer making a strange request. This week it was a high school student that wanted to buy over 200 of my $1 patches at a discount for a project. I have no idea what the project was and should have made send me a picture...Read More
