Other Scout Opportunities:
- If your Troop is interested in a clinic about a topic we don’t have scheduled, we’d be happy to discuss putting together a clinic for you. Please call Crystal at 608-662-9711.
- Does your troop need to put together a large order for items such as freeze dried food, tents, or sleeping bags? We want to work with you to give you the best possible deal. Please call Crystal or Jeff at 608.833.9191.
Your troop, Scout individuals and friends/family of Scouts are invited to attend. These clinics are free. If your troop plans to attend please call Crystal (608-662-9711) in advance so we can plan space accordingly.
We hope to see many Boy Scout and Girl Scout attendees this coming week for Fontana Sports Scout Week! Lots going on in the shops in support of the scouts. Even a raffle where money earned goes back to support Scouts! More details on Fontana Sports Scout Week >>.
