| November is a month of thanks. As Scouts, we like to give back, be thankful and most of all help other people at all times. We thank our families, our Scout Leaders, our US Veterans and many others! So what are a few ways your unit can give thanks? The Veteran's Day Parade, work on Scouting for Food, volunteer at a local non-profit and many others! How will your unit give thanks? |
