New meeting place, a whole new world of opportunities.

The Webelos I and II met at the Wilmington Lions Hall last night for the first time and despite having to do battle with a few wasp, it was a great night.  We had a new Den Chief, Mik, step in and help lead the boys, and they were able to meet most of the scouts and leaders from Troop 440.  So far I am optimistic about what this change will bring in our boys scouting future.

No meetings tonight

Hey pack 411.  Our show and sell on Saturday was a bust, the sky's opened up and soaked the Sivertson family, so we packed up early.  We don't have any additional show and sell opportunities set up but if you come across a good opportunity, set it up and let us know ( also be prepared to help out).  

There will be no den meetings tonight, we hope you all are having a wonderful holiday weekend.
