Adult Training Opportunities – Correction from last week's notes. Every boy deserves a trained leader! The troop will underwrite the entire $45 cost of Wagon Wheel training for any registered adult in the troop.   The training is on Saturday, April 28, Saturday May 5 and the weekend of May 18-20.  For specific information see the registration form on our troop's web site under "training" or go to:  http://nationalpike.org/an_brochures/2007_SpringWagonWheel.pdf .
