This was a busy weekend for Hiawatha units! Endwell Cub Scout Pack 209 had their crossing over, and numerous scouts enjoyed a day at the ballpark watching the Rumble Ponies. Scouts BSA Girls Troop 416 Endwell, NY took a trip to Niagara Falls, and Endicott Troop 201 went on a backpacking trip. Thank you all for planning these events and showing all the fun that scouts have! If I missed anybody's events, please feel free to add them.

Hand-drawn sketches, digital designs, polished artwork, and simple concepts are all welcome. The final selected design may be professionally refined for patch production.
