 Summer 2016 Planning – Maine High Adventure

• Troop 29 would like to determine if there are scouts with interest in going on a High Adventure trip this summer. Please take a few minutes to look at the Maine High Adventure website for details. Mainehighadventure.org.  Information about MHA will be presented at future troop meetings.
