April 2026

April opens with spring break and there will be no troop meeting that week. The following week our meeting will take place at the St. Xavier high school pool so we can take Scouting America swim tests. The following week, we will make an off campus trip to FirstBuild, an organization that helps small businesses develop new products and figure out how to produce them. Lastly, we will complete work on the Communications merit badge.

Weekly Email 4/12/26
