Little Viking Wrestling Tournament

Helping others is a big part of being a Boy Scout and a good member of our community.

Troop 47 does several service projects throughout the year that Scouts are asked to help with.  The Little Viking Wrestling Tournament is one of the most important because it helps our sponsor - the Vinton Lions Club.  The Lions Club provides financial support to the Troop that helps keep costs low for the families of our Scouts.

Please come out to help clean up after the tournament.  With a good turnout, it only takes an hour or so.  Sometimes they even have left over pizza that needs to be eaten!

Date: Sunday, January 13th, 2013
