Veteran's Day Parade, Shiloh Trip

In the morning, starting at 7:00 AM we split wood at the Hut and when the entire contingent arrived we headed for lunch and the rest of the day. Weather, as you know was great for a parade.

Want to thank all the leaders who joined us and the WEBELOS I, WEBELOS II at the parade. After a lunch at the Golden Corral we went to the Parade Holding site for Scouts an joined the more than 500 there. Each of the Scouts carried an Alabama State flag among the fifty other Scouts who marched and were place as a group in the front of the parade this year. Ms. Alabama stopped by them and had their picture taken with them. All cubs from Packs 321, 312, and 326 marched as a contingent in front of the Bus and Frank Tank.

Remind your son if he is patrol or troop quartermaster he has to be present for tomorrow night to assist in packing for the Trip...from 6:30 to about 7:30. We need help with this, please make sure he attends.

We will meet at the Hut at 5:00 PM on Friday with all his gear (no steamer trunks) and a lunch/dinner ready to go. He will not be allowed to run into Piggley Wiggley to buy his lunch, so please pack one for him or buy it on the way to the Hut. We will be stopping at between 6:30 PM And 7:00 PM for gas, restroom break and food if he want fast food then.

As always, the cost for the trip $30 per person unless you drive your car, then the cost is $20.00 for the driver. All Scouts will ride the bus up and back, except for the early and late parties going up. WEBELOS can ride with their parents up and back .

Except for the drivers of the vehicle, the fee for all leaders, parents, Scouts and Cubs remains at $30.00 per person to help defray fuel costs for the bus, the Frank Tank, the late party and the advance party (fuel and Friday evening meal) for the trip.

Please don't forget to go to the Troop Web site and complete the BSA consent form for him top bring to the Hut as he pays and registers for the Trip at the Hut on Friday.

We expect to return around 1:00- 2:00 PM on Sunday.

See some of you on Thursday night..see all of you one Friday..

I will have Shiloh Maps available to those who want one at the Hut on Thursday and Friday nights.

Thanks for all your support...
