It would be REALLY disappointing if your unit decided to suspend its program for any period, this summer. To who? To your Scouts, that’s who. ANY break will bring programs that are vital to their advancement plans to a halt, which must be restarted when you reconvene, and it is not a given that this can be done smoothly. Scouting is a year-round activity which can be especially fun in the summer.
