Camp Thunder cancelled, City Hall Oct 19

Because of all the Scouts and leaders who attended the annual Bluffpark Art Show, our effort was one of our most successful. Thanks for all the time and hard work for those attending to make it as recognizable as the Troop was to the community, the Art Show Staff, and the Artists who were present. We had some excellent ice cream and water sales also.

The meeting on Monday night (Oct 12) will have a special guest speaker present. Please encourage attendance to make sure its success for the Scouts. Mr. Frost will providing an overhead projector for the presentation. The Scouts will also have Troop election for leadership for the next six months.

The Council has just begun to offer the annual Winter Blast program for Scouts during the holidays. More information will be announced as it becomes available. They are also announcing a food drive for the remainder of the year for the
Birmingham community

At this time, because of low attendance, we will not make the trip to GA for the climbing and rappelling trip at Camp Thunder. We will have back packing trip to Oak Mountain the same weekend for those who can make it. We will need a headcount quickly and it will be started by the Senior at the regular meeting October 12. If you son is going or not going, he needs to call his patrol leader before the meeting on Monday in order to give B Garrett an idea of numbers.

Remember..the October 19th trip will be to Hoover City Hall. As stated in an earlier Blog on the Troop Web Site, we will leave the Hut on the Bus at 5:30 PM and return around 7:00 PM..or so. Uniform is Class A, with neckerchief and merit badge sash,

Thanks for all your support.
