Troop News

We had an excellent weekend with about thirty in attendance. Thanks especially to the Colonel and Cathy Kidd's for using their lake property and their boat, as well as to Mr Copelan and his son Michael, Mr. Stubblefield, Mr. Nelms, and Mr, Turner for bring their boats in order to have all the boys the opportunity to ski and get pulled in tubes the entire day of sun on the river.

The weather stayed excellent the entire day and the boys prepared some excellent meals for the duration. Thanks again to all the leaders who attended making the trip possible. We left for Hoover at about 9:00 AM following Mr. Lepianka's religious service. Thanks to Mr. Simon, the campout's pictures are on the web site.

We will take down and store all the gear tonight (August 23) at 6:30 PM and all who attended the campout should assist with this so we can leave within the hour (this includes all the Troop and patrol quartermasters whether they were on the trip or not..

Following the gear take down, we will have the Patrol Leader's Conference (7:00 PM) for the Senior Patrol leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leaders, the Patrol Leaders and the Assistant Patrol leaders to plan next months activities.

Then finally, starting a 8:00 PM we will have the Troop Committee Meeting to approve the activities, discuss Troop business. If you haven't attended in the past, please plan on it tonight and enjoy our camaraderie and esprit.

Two weeks ago, J Hamilton completed his Eagle requirements.certainly a congratulations from the Troop while we are looking forward to his Eagle Court along with the other who succeeded this year in gaining theirs.

Let's keep Mr. Nelson in our prayers for his complete recovery and recent hospital stay. His progress is good and he should be home in the next day or so.

Thanks for all your support and encouraging attendance
