In an effort to avoid another campus-wide assembly, Boy Scouts of America will be coming by each grade level to talk (they have promised 5 minutes) about joining Boy Scouts. Starting this year, both boys and girls can join this organization, so all kiddos need to be in attendance. The recruit will come to your hallway to talk with students.
