Matthews Troop 46 - Skip Trip Update

Thank you for signing up for the Ski Trip to ASM. This will be an exciting adventure for your scout. Due to some personal reasons, I am going to stay home. Brian Thomas will be your trip leader for this weekend. Brian is a seasoned veteran at ASM so I know the trip will go exceptionally well under his leadership. Please read below. Did I mention that it will be cold at the destination. Please dress appropriately and thank you for being a part of Matthews Troop 46.
