Troop News

Camp this year was one of our best by far in numbers, spirit, and attending leaders. We had a total of 33 Scouts and 9 leaders....Want to thank Mr. Lepianka, LTC Kidd, Mr. Turner, Mr. Gunn, Mr. Elmore, Mr. Crabtree, Mr. Cole, Mr. Simon, and Mr. Bolding for assuring we got through the week especially in meeting most of the rank and merit badge requirements for the Phoenix patrol,

The Troop was highly spirited in all our activities , especially during meals in the dining hall earning the the Camp Spirit Award. All the Scouts earned the merit badges they signed up for less some partials due to having to take the time a home to do it. All of our Scouts did well this year in participating in the Water Carnival in all events.

Congratulations to Mr. Turner, Mr. Gunn, D Yarbrough, J Elmore, N Bolding, Z Gandy, and E Kidd for being tapped into the Order of the Arrow at camp.

Mr. Harbin also announced that Brandon Preston was recently awarded his Eagle and that J Ng and J Hamilton's Eagle projects were approved by their Eagle Committees.

We had a problem with the Frank Tank overheating on the way up, had what we thought was the problem repaired in Oxford, but still had problems on the way home with what appears to be continued overheating.Thanks to Mr. Cole and Mr. Bolding, we drove it into the Hut area until Monday.

The Troop Senior Patrol Leader, Assitant Senior Patrol Leader, patrol leaders and patrol and Troop quartermasters need to be there at 6:30 PM Monday to unload the Tank. The PLC will begin at about 7:00 pm followed by the Troop Committee meeting at 8:00 PM.

If not already posted, Mr. Simon will put all the summer camp pictures on the Troop Web Site shortly.

Please encourage attendance at the PLC this Monday night, and if you are not on the Committee, come and join us.

Thanks for all your support and encouraging attendance.
