To the Editor:

Altamont Boy Scout Troop 264 is holding an open house on Thursday, May 18, beginning at 7 p.m. at the American Legion Post 977, which is located at 988 Altamont Blvd. in Altamont.

Please come learn about the activities your local Scout troop is involved in and the knowledge and skills learned while having fun participating in scouting. Scouts will be there to lead interested boys and girls in several activities while Scout leaders address questions from parents and guardians.

The scouting program provides opportunities for those involved to engage in outdoor activities, provide community service, develop skills in a diversity of areas from camping and first aid to robotics and time management, build confidence, develop leadership skills, and become prepared for life. Come check us out.
