Pack 197 has invited our Troop to assist with their Webelos Crossover.  This is a huge milestone for a Scout, and it is an honor to be considered to help with their ceremony.  If you are able to attend and help, please sign up.  

I would like to go over the ceremony details at this Sunday's Troop meeting with those signed up, so please attend if possible.

Boy Scout Troop 416, Plano TX | Pack 197 / Webelos crossover

Please take note of the new date and sign up or make adjustments to prior sign ups

Event Details: 

Project will be held at the Connemara Conservancy in Allen, Texas. 

We will be transferring and spreading a native species of grass to help to restore its numbers in nature. The project will last 4 hours, from 8-12 am and will likely be held on the weekend of the 29th, but the date is tentative based on the weather.

Please come prepared for a labor-intensive activity, and make sure to bring gloves and work boots if you have them. Food and drinks will be provided, but I recommend bringing your own water.
