National Pike Weekly Newsletter
From our District Director Taadie Robinson: I hope you are all staying safe. In these uncertain times we know there are a lot of unanswered questions and a need for the Scouting program. My goal is to have a weekly newsletter until we resume a normal schedule to keep you up to date on any changes and alternatives to the program. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me for any Scouting needs.

The safety of our Scouts and Scouters is our primary concern.
