If you’ve ever thought about getting your son or daughter involved in Scouting, but didn’t know much about the organization, what you have to do to get started, or who to contact, then this event coming up next week is for you.
It’s a Scouting America Open House, scheduled for Saturday Oct. 18 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Webster Presbyterian Church, 550 Webster Rd. (Rt. 250).
Families with boys and girls from kindergarten through age 20 are invited to stop by and check out all the different Scouting options in Webster. Four troops will be represented:
- Family Pack 262 for boys and girls in grades K-5
- Troop 262 for boys ages 11-17
- Troop 425 for girls ages 11-17
- Paddle Crew 462 (canoeing kayaking and paddle boarding) for boys and girls age 14-20
Participants can try out a variety of typical Scouting activities like bottle rockets, a rope bridge, pinewood derby, first-aid, archery and much more.
Free pizza will be provided by Caraglio’s Pizza, and there’ll be some free raffles. No registration is necessary — just stop by!
