Hello all Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Venturers,

In an effort to ensure we reduce and reuse, we are asking you all to please ensure you bring a Mug to all Fire Pit meetings where there is a planned Mug Up. Foam cups will be minimized from now on in order to reduce the amount of non-recycling garbage that we produce. Thank you for your cooperation!

REMEMBER.....THINK GREEN
