There will be no Coptic Scouts meetings until the start of school year in September. There has been a lot of activities going on (weddings, kids camps) and there are a number of people who have been going out of town. And due to the limited number of leaders, we realized that we cannot have meetings during this time of the year.
September
-- Next Meeting
