We will be visiting Dr. Scream's Haunted Houses tonight at Myrtle Waves. There are 3 haunted houses at this one park. The cost is $15 per person. That is a $5 discount from the normal price. We will be meeting at the church at 6:30, and returning at 9. Family members and friends are welcome to join us for the fun. We need drivers to transport scouts and friends to the park and back. Parents, please come out and give us a hand. There will not be a scout meeting for those not interested in going to the haunted houses, so if you do not wish to go to the haunted houses, please make other plans. Hoping to see everyone there tonight!
Everyone, whether you are attending the haunted houses or not, Mr. Brock needs your popcorn orders today. Either bring your order to the meeting at 6:30, or call Mr. Brock with your order today. His phone number is (843) 340-7536. |

We will be having our fundraiser this weekend at the Socastee Heritage Festival which is centered around the swing bridge in Socastee. Scouts need to come in full uniform. We need everyone to arrive at 8AM, and plan to stay until 6PM when the festival ends. Our booth number is 185. Our booth will be located on the Forestbrook side of the bridge. In order to access our booth, your parents will need to enter the festival from the Forestbrook side of the bridge, as traffic will not be permitted to drive across the bridge. Please bring money for lunch. This will be a very long day, so please be prepared. A chair would be a great idea. If you have any questions. please contact Mr. Mike at (843) 254-9222. |
