So at the last minute our Scouting friends at the LDS Church in San Marcos have offered us the use of their community center.  Starting on Thursday June 13th our new permanent home will be at 1250 Borden Rd. (at the intersection of Borden and Woodland Parkway).  This new facility couldn't be better suited to our needs.  We will have access to a large community room for troop meetings, adult room, smaller rooms for boards of review, and patrol meetings.  As well as a gym, stage, and kitchen. 

I have nominated the following leaders for this year's Driving Force Award. They will be recognized at the Kit Carson District Dinner on May 21st:
