Court of Honor--Coming Soon

A court of honor was planned for the 22nd of January. This conflicts with the Draper Temple Open House and as a result will not be held on the 22nd. That said a court of honor is coming to your local meeting house SOON! Please work on finishing up those partial merit badges, and other advancements. You have worked hard and we want you to receive credit for the work you have done.

Calendar Changes
