| Pack, Troop, and Crew 7322 held their Annual Clean-Up Day on March 27. The cleanup before Palm Sunday and Easter is their annual way to say Thank You to their Charter Organization, St. Albert the Great Catholic Church. Over 100 hours of work were completed! Boys & girls, kindergarten - high school, and parents from all three units helped. The Knights of Columbus supplied funds for the project. Well done 7322! | |
