Updates on CHPC Room Use
Troop 48; As we celebrate moving forward into more normal scouting meetings we ask that everyone understands and follows guidelines set by the church. This behavior helps us to continue having Scout meetings in this very different situation.
Please make sure that you are getting your temperature taken, have a mask on or a medical excuse not to. Please make sure you do not enter any of the Day care area rooms, the Jones building ( our old scout room ), the prayer room or the sanctuary without permission that needs to go through Julieann White and should be gotten the week before. These rooms have to be approved for use .
