Our End of Summer/Fall Kickoff picnic is quickly approaching. The picnic is on Sunday, August 28th from 1-5PM at the National Grove South #2, the entrance to which is located near of the intersection of Des Plaines and 29th Avenue. Here are the activities planned:
- Delicious food grilled by our own Scout leaders & parents
- Bounce house
- Water balloon launchers
- Bottle Rocket launching
- Other games, socializing & shenanigans
We need some Akela/parent volunteers to make this happen. There is no charge for families to attend but we do need some help to make sure we have a great time. Please take a look at the sign up genius and let us know if you can help: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040e4cadaa2da20-picnic
