Join us for the annual district recognition meal! It is important that we provide recognition to our adults as well as the scouts. This annual dinner provides that opportunity plus a low-key scouter event whereby you can visit and be sociable without the usual burden of having adult leader duties! Refer to the flyer for details.

Please remember to nominate your colleagues for awards! The nominations form makes it easy to do. 

​Fill it out. Send it in!

This year, the event is FREE! There will be a sizeable concession stand and all money raised at concessions will go to covering the cost of the event. So come hungry! No outside food or drink, please. Let's see everyone there, and at the price of FREE for Scouting fun you can't afford to miss this event.

Rules and Registration Form are attached to this post. Even though this event is free, please fill out the registration form ASAP so we know what to expect for turn-out.​

You want the best?  YOU'RE GONNA GET THE BEST!    Strut around all day and all Knight in your 2019 BOGOREE "PROVE YOU WERE HERE GEAR" 

Last year’s glow in the dark "Party Like a Pirate" shirts could be seen from 100 feet away. Beating them is going to be tuff, but how about a reflective silver knight so bright is can be seen from 100 yards or more? 
 
They are deep Bogoree green with an image of a Knight in super high-reflective silver material. On dark Bogoree green, this shirt could stop traffic! We are taking pre-orders for these awesome T-shirts, "Dry-Fit" Polos, Crew Neck Sweatshirts and Hoodies.  Who wants them? 
 
And the coolest thing, you have the option to customize them with your Troop# and town (order form is attached) Someone must be taking crazy pills, because this is fantabulous! 
 
This special material cost a little more, but definitely worth it.  The vendor will fill all orders on a first ordered, first made basis. We are expecting record attendance and there are less than 128 left.  Get your forms filled out today.   
 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
How reflective are they?
The 1st photo is the actual 2019 Bogoree shirt taken without a flash. The 2nd photo is the exact same shirt taken with a flash. This was not taken in a mirror, the only thing between the camera and shirt was air. It's like shining armor.

Ba-BOOM! ISN'T THAT BRUTAL?
