News

Please try to make the next few events as they are important for our troop and keep our troop going!

 

 

Webelos Show’N’Do 1/26-27 @ Camp Wisdom; Cost $10 for food.  *Recruiting Event*

This is a recruiting event, and is *very* important to the future of the troop. We expect to have Webelos camping with us, to see how we camp, and cook as a patrol.

I encourage Scouts, and especially older Scouts and Scouts in Positions of Responsibility to come out for this camp. Remember when you were Webelos age and how great these events were in providing a glimpse of the fun awaiting in Boy Scouts? This is your chance to help someone else see that. I know putting on events for Webelos isn’t the most fun thing we do, but there is a sense of duty to help out the younger Scouts in our district.

Meet at Camp Wisdom Saturday morning 10:00am

Pick up at Camp Wisdom Sunday morning 10:00am

Contact Mr. Bolton

 

A Scout is Helpful…  Scouting for Food  *Service Opportunities*. A reminder that next Tuesday 1/29 we will meet at Woodhaven at 6PM to prepare bags and distribute to the neighborhood around the church during the regular scout meeting. If you can’t make it at 6 please come as early as you can. Boys can earn service hours for their participation. Food bag pick ups will be 9am Saturday 2/2. We will need parent drivers during both times. Tuesday night please bring a stapler and flashlight or headlamp to help with putting out the bags.
