Personal Management Merit Badge – Starting during the November 5 troop meeting
A Scout is Courteous… Please bring a reusable water bottle or cup to troop meetings. This will cut down on the number of cups we are throwing away.
Also, we need to be respectful of the church as a whole, this includes the kitchen area and the ice maker. When getting ice, use the blue scoopon the side of the ice maker and fill your bottle over the sink, not over the ice maker, so we don’t spill ice on the floor. Thank you!
Troop Court of Honor is coming soon, 9/24 – any advancements or merit badges to be recognized at this COH need to be turned in to Mr. Buchanan no later than 9/10
