Pack 24 Cub Scouts are returning to the Warren Dunes State Park near Sawyer, Michigan for our annual camping trip. This is a great trip for the Scouts and we spend time playing games on the nearby Lake Michigan beach and exploring the dunes. All Cub Scouts and their entire family are welcome to attend this outing.
We will need volunteers to help load supplies and equipment into their personal vehicles at Riverside Presbyterian Church on Thursday evening, September 5th, and Sunday, September 8th upon return. Please email George Condes (gcondes@gmail.com) to volunteer your services. Of course, all please pitch in with cooking, cleanup, and loading/unloading at the campsite.
