|
anniversary, which is being celebrated September 2, 2017; and |

|
it is currently chartered by the Bryker Woods Elementary School |
|
Parent-Teacher Association; and |

benefit the community, and its members have participated in high |
|
adventure trips to the famed Philmont Ranch in New Mexico and the |

|
for Scouts and other groups of various kinds; and |
