Due to inclement weather, today’s Wreaths Across America wreath-laying has been canceled for all Troop 1:9 boys. The safety of our troop and families comes first, and we appreciate everyone’s understanding. Thank you for your support and willingness to serve—updates will be shared if the event is rescheduled.

Excellent resources available through Trail Life USA. Check out their free e-book here!

"Rough-and-tumble play helps develop the frontal lobe of a boy's brain. ... Boys are at a severe disadvantage in a 'sit down, be still, everybody-gets-a-trophy' artificial environment. Competition is an extremely important part of their world that allows them to challenge and measure themselves and one another."
