It is very important for you all to actively participate and attend all meetings. Please have a conversation with me if you will not be able to attend any on the Contingent meetings.
I also want to make it clear that we are Scout and live by the Scout Oath, Motto and Scout Law. We expect this of all Scouts and nothing less. And we are proud to be Scouts.
