Happy St. Patricks Day, everyone! We hope you are having a fun, green day! Did you get outside to play in the green grass today?
We are excited to launch the (drum roll please……) Coronavirus Challenge. All Pack 550 Scouts who complete the challenge by 4/28/2020, will receive a special patch for completing it!
