SCOUTING AROUND with Troop 344

(A retraction)

RE: October 7th issue of THE WAYNEDALE NEWS – Boy Scout Troop #344 is planning a trip to visit a submarine in Muskegon, Michigan in 2010 but they are only taking reservations and money from members of their own troop at this time and not from other troops or the general public. I’m sorry if the information has caused any problems.
