Despite the weather, rain, and humidity, we had a good Order of the Arrow Ordeal weekend at Camp Sequoyah this last weekend (August 13-15).

Congratulations to Mr. Turner, Mr. Gunn, J Elmore, Z Gandy, N Bolding, E Kidd,and D Yarbrough for earning their membership and sashes, and to S Hardy and M Gunn for earning their Brotherhood. A Turner, who earned his membership last year, also attended for the weekend.

Wanted to thank Mr. Simon for transporting the Coosa Chapter's Pre Ordeal Team consisting of J and K Berry, J Ng, P Kidd, and J Kunka to the Ordeal also in order for the Team to perform Friday night.

There were about 250 Scouts and leaders in attendance and a great deal of work was taken care of at the Camp, not to mention the initiation or more than 200 new members and Brotherhoods.

If you or your son is a member of the Order of the Arrow, the Lodge's web site has been up dated with the current schedule of events listed on the Web Site under Coosa50.org

As stated an earlier Troop blog/memo , there is a regular meeting tonight with a guest speaker. Everyone should attend who is going on the Troop Water Skiing Trip this coming weekend in order to get a good head count, listen to required water safety briefings, and to plan for the weekend's meals. We will camping at Lake Logan Martin and have as many as five boats lined up for Saturday. Thanks to all who are making the skiing possible..We will also decide whether to bring the Troop canoes on the trip for some fishing or short excursions for those who care to.

Thanks for all your support and encouraging attendance.
