Troop News

The meeting last night at the Hut was well attended with Dr. Art Cara presenting aprogram on career options for the Scouts.

Dr. Frank Nelson spoke to constructing the Troop monkey bridge this coming weekend at the Camporee and the Scouts planned their meals.

The cost for the Trip is a total of $35.00....$18.00 for camp registration...$12.00 for meals @ $3.00 per person per meal..$$5.00 for fueling the Bus and Frank Tank.

There will be a quartermaster night this Thursday at 6:30 PM for about an hour or so for all Patrol and Troop Quartermasters to prepare and load our gear.

WEBELOS will register scouts and leaders on their own as they arrive as group and when they join the Troop at the campground. Those camping the entire weekend with the Troop owe only the $3.00 per person per meal. All camping gear is furnished by the Troop as we did at Shiloh. If you have not advised the Den Leaders you are coming, and you and the WEBELO were not at the Monday night activity, please advise them for meal planning and equipment purposes.

We will meet at the Hut, dressed for any predicted weather for the weekend, at 5:00 PM. We should return before Noon on Sunday. Please assure your son packs for the weather, including a knit hat or cap, gloves, extra socks, and rain gear for extra insulation against the cold so if the weather turns, he will be prepared.

Those Scouts using their popcorn money for the event should coordinate that through Mrs. Eggers and Mr. Oliver for Friday night.

The Vullcan District Camporee at Tanneyhill State Park has been an annual event for the past thirty or more years. It is a good time for family members to come by and visit the Troop in the winter camping mode, as well as see how the other 800 or so Scouts in our district do the same in one large group. Its quite a memorable experience and a great deal of fun. Take the time..experience the adventure.....experience the fun....
