Time: 6:30 pm – 8:40 pm - note our earlier start time, but come when you can!

Please join us as we combine our Annual Troop Christmas Potluck with a Court of Honor to celebrate our scouts and their achievements.

The entire family, including siblings, are welcome to join us! Each family is asked to bring a dish to share. In an effort to make certain we have more than just dessert, we have provided the following guide for the type of dish to bring based on the first initial of your last name:

A-H Main Dishes
I-P Sides/Salads
R-Sm Dessert
So-Z Appetizers

Our SPL and patrol leaders will have some fun activities planned, including:

gift exchange for Scouts and siblings - bring a wrapped gift to share with a tag inside saying your name as the giver ($20 max. gift limit)
songs and games

NOTE: Scouts are asked to wear Class A uniforms and a holiday hat.

Hope to see everyone there!
