Blanca had to cancel the September round-up due to a scheduling conflict so the next round-up will be in October. It’s the 24th from 6 – 7:30 pm at McMillin. We just found out the date last week and I’m sorry we haven’t had the chance to pass that along yet. We’re also looking tentatively at November 14th, 6 – 7:30 pm, location TBD.
Hello, I see the tentative schedule has a round up listed on the 11th of Sept. has this been confirmed, and if so, where will it be located. I am in the bonita area looking to become a troop leader/volunteer, but have been unable to attend previous round ups. Any information you can offer is greatly appreciated!
