Sweetwater Loop-a-Rama Dec. 13

Cub_Scout_Wildlife_ConservationThe early registration deadline has passed, but you have until Thursday for discounted registration to the 2014 Sweetwater District Loop-A-Rama.

Scouts will be able to earn two loops — one academic and one sports — at this event at Cooper Elementary School in Loganville.

Choices include Volleyball, Marbles, Badminton, Physical Fitness, Soccer, Geography, Geology, Chess, Map & Compass and Wildlife Conservation plus the Communications or Handyman activity pins for Webelos.

Remember … belt loops are going away next year so this is a good opportunity for your scouts to pick up a few extras.

More information, including registration details, are available on the NEGA site.
