Cracker Barrel starts at 6:45 PM
Cub Scouts: A special visit from the Order of the Arrow (OA) will complement our agenda for all things Blue & Gold: the celebration itself; the awarding of the Arrow of Light; and the Crossover ceremony as the older Webelos move to Boy Scouts. This is a chance for your B&G planning committee to jump start their ideas as well as coordinate with the OA for your upcoming Cub event!
