Scout Shop
The Boy Scout Office/Store in Racine has been sold. They are relocating the office/store to a new location, there is still a search for that ideal location that will be centrally located to serve the Racine Kenosha counties, which was supposed to be done back in the 70’s when the Racine and Kenosha County Councils merged. In the next few weeks, they will be setting up a temporary store at the corner of Hwy 31 and Hwy 50 in the Johnson Bank building till a new permanent location can be found and prepared. In the meantime, if you need any scouting supplies such as uniforms and such, you may use the Milwaukee Council Store or Online store, both have a great selection of Scouting supplies.

If you want to learn CPR to save a life, be sure to let Mrs. Andersen know, she is working to get one put together and we need a head count by this week.
