Below is a schedule of the dates we have assigned each boy. If it doesnt work with your schedule please let me know as soon as possible. Each boy will be responsible for ½ hr; or you can choose to work with your partner and together plan for 1 hr. Please plan on having an adult attend with your cub scout to help carry out the activity. Thanks so much!
