Rainier Expedition-->Westerners
Welcome to the inaugural year of Westerners!
Westerners is a program for 4th-6th grade boys and girls. It is similar to Y-Guides, but with activities designed for bigger kids. The program operates under the Y-Guides umbrella, but is less structured around circles. You can bring your whole circle up to Westerners from YGuides, you can create a new circle for Westerners, or you can just participate as a single dad/son pair, without a circle affiliation.
