1st Class Footsteps of Hiawatha

The Footsteps of Hiawatha is our First Class Program. The program will run in the afternoon so that the first year Scouts will have the opportunity to earn merit badges. Scouts can sign up by checking the registration form found in this packet. Scouts will have plenty of chances for fun in this program as well as knocking out a lot of requirements for First Class. Scouts not enrolled in the program are also welcome to drop in at certain areas to complete requirements.
