Beck Leather offers 4 Merit Badge Classes

I just made a quick trip to Beck Leather to get some last minute items for our Pinewood Derby cars and I found out that Beck Leather now offers 4 fun merit badges, Basketry, Indian Lore, Wood Carving, and Leatherwork.  You can call them and schedule a time that works for you and your troop.  You must have at least three scouts to register and the cost is anywhere from $9.95 to $23.95 per scout depending upon the class and projects you select.  Again depending upon what you select, it may be completed in 2-3 sessions.  These look like some really fun stuff.  Belts, Wallets, neckerchief slides, medicine bags, and even a camp stool.  To sign up call Beck Leather at 801-567-1115.  I am defiantly going to be doing this during the summer months when my kids are bored!

Frustrated Mom!!!

Today I start this blog to it will hopefully be a great resource to Moms and Scout Leaders in the Great Salt Lake Council.  I am trying to help my boys have a successful journey in Scouting and too often I hear I wish the scouts had better communication.  I wish I knew about more things going on.  So I am doing my best to gather as much information as I can and I will post it all here.  Hopefully this site will help your boy on the road to an Eagle.
