Upcoming events

We had good attendance at the quartermaster equipment take down, the PLC, and the Troop Committee meeting. Thanks to all who attended.

Once again thanks to Major and Cathy Kidd for the use of their lake property in making the water sports trip possible..thanks to Mr. Copelan, Mr. Brimer, Mr. Stubblefield, the Kidds, and Mr. Hardy for making their boats and equipment availble for all our activities.

Those Scouts who met the water skiing requirements on the trip should get the "Water Sports" merit badge book and complete the requirements with a leader who was on the trip in their boat in the next six months and earn the water skiing merit badge.
