The pictures from the camp-out last weekend are now on the website for you to view and enjoy! I heard great things about this weekend with the boys getting to practice some real survival skills like first aid, using a compass, and cooking eggs in an orange skin over an open fire. Exciting!

Thanks to all the scouts who came out Sat to do Scouting for Food.
All together we collected 360 items of food.
That is 90 items an hour or more than 1 each minute we all stood out in the cold.
Great job!!!

On March 29th instead of swimming we will be shooting 22 rifles at Sams Gun Club. We will meet at St. Catherine’s at 6:00 and be back around 8:30. Scouts are to wear their Scout Shirts and follow all rules. I need about 6 to 7 dad to attend for safety reasons. Dads may not get time on the range, in this case Scouts go first. Any questions call Bob 206-522-0365.
A big congratulations to the 7 Webelos who received their Arrow of Light badge in Pack 301 (St. Matthews) this February! 5 of them have chosen to join our troop and several even went on the February campout to Rasar state park. A big welcome to the Troop is extended to these boys and their families!
The pictures for the January and February outings have been posted on the website. Check them out!
