Letter to the editor: Invitation to a Boy Scout meeting

Invitation to visit a Boy Scout meeting

I am a 16-year-old Boy Scout in Ramona, writing to you about Troop 679. Our troop is growing and is planning several exciting activities and outings for 2014.

As the Senior Patrol leader, I invite the male youth of Ramona to visit one of our troop meetings. The next one is on Dec. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Weiss House in Ramona Oaks Park (troop679.org).

The Boy Scouts of America is committed to the betterment of the boys of this nation. Our troop has contributed to this goal by spending time in the great outdoors, by training ourselves in the art of leadership and survival, and by offering several events that are fun and build character. For example, recently our troop took a three-night canoe trip down the Colorado River. With events like that, wonderful people at your back, and the training that Boy Scouts offers, Troop 679 promises an experience that you will remember for a lifetime.

On my honor,

Clayton Grant

Senior Patrol Leader

Boy Scout Troop 679
