National Jamboree, Northern Tier

The Greater Alabama Council is still trying to recruit Scouts and leader to attend the Jamboree in 2010. the cost is about $2000.
If you are interersted..please read the following information. Don't forget that the Troop is planning a Northern Tier Trip to Canada the same summer . so far we have about 20 leaders and Scouts raising hands to go...we are going to start recruiting from other Troops if we don't get our own numbers up to about 35-40 so please look at the calendar and try to get him on the trip....the cost right now is about $1000 for seven days on the water in a canoe, three days travel each way, a plane trip to the canoe base, and meals.....there are some other options to make it a little less for fees and maybe travel time (Ely instead of Bissett)......Be at the meeting this Monday to discuss with Mr. Young and the Scouts. Minimum age is 14, good physical fitness, and BSA guidelines.

Troop News: We have two guest speakers arranged for Monday. Encourage attendance. Please start planning for Northern Tier with us around the 4th of July weekend, 2010. This year we will again sell popcorn..with all the sales profits staying with the Scouts so he can work toward supporting his trips. The Court of Honor was very well attended and coverd a great deal of ground. Thanks to Mr. Frost and his daughter Rachel...all the merit badges earned, including summer camp, were awarded along with rank and special recognition to Scouts and Leaders.

Remember, the labor day holiday is not a Scout meeting at the hut. The following two meeting will focus on our September Backpacking trip to the Sipsi Wilderness, Bankhead National Forest.
