Last weekend our office parking lot was converted into a derby workshop for dozens of future winning cars! Check out photos here of Scouts and their parents designing, cutting, sawing, sanding, and adjusting their own unique pinewood derby cars. 

February 15 - Great opportunity  for adult leaders to learn how to lead your group of Scouts in a safe climbing. Instruction on equipment, knots, equipment care, anchor systems, health and safety, dealing with
fear, commands, techniques, belaying and more.

As we do every year, we will be asking all parents and Scout leaders to make a charitable contribution to support our local Scouting program for 2020. Many people believe their membership dues support the LBAC but they don't. We rely on member support.
