Scout Sunday is this Sunday Feb 2nd 10am at Brighton Community Church.
This is the church that sponsors T286. It does not charge us for the use of the church. Only 1 member of T286 is also a member of Brighton Community Church. This is the one day each year where the congregation gets to see T286 and meet its members. I strongly encourage your families to attend. We will perform an opening, act has greeters, perform the collection and of course enjoy doughnuts afterward.
