Upcoming Events
Deerslayer Fall Camporee - October 16th-18th
The Deerslayer Fall Camporee is slated to be held October 16th - 18th at the Landis Arboretum in Esperance. This is going to be an exciting joint effort between our council and the Landis Arboretum. Scouts will have a choice of earning the First Aid or Forestry Merit Badge. There will also be an opportunity to view the stars at night since the astronomy club is inviting scouts down to their meeting. A special 4” patch for this event will be part of every paid registration. Do not miss out on this very special event! More information
Cub Scout Fall Field Day - October 3rd
The Deerslayer Fall Field Day for Cub Scouts will be held on October 3rd at Henderson Scout Reservation. Last year the weather didn’t cooperate very well toward the end of the month, so we decided we should try before it starts getting too cold and wet. More information to follow
