How To Join

The first step is to come and meet us. 

This is your formal invitation to contact us and let us know you would like to attend one of our meetings, so that you and your son can see what this program is all about. 

At the beginning of each school year, we host an Open House for interested boys and parents to be introduced to the program, to have chance to meet all of the Adult and Youth Leaders, and to be able to review a showcase display of previous projects and events.
