Whew!.....a lot of activity before we get started for next year.

Thanks for all your support and for encouraging attendance.

Leaders..you can make a difference for the Troop by attending our Committee Meetings each Monday for an hour or so after each trip, or by becoming more active through attending some trips, and other activities as the arise Your assistance and comments often make a big difference in our plans for assuring the right direction for the Troop. The strength and power of diversity in our leaders make a big difference in assuring role models for the boys.

Shooting Sports Weekend: As noted from the current pictures on the Troop web site, we had a great weekend at Camp Sequoyah...

Thanks to Mr. Simon's photos, it's easy take a look at the activities from the time we left Brimingham until we arrived back at the Hut. Thanks to all the leaders who attended, especially Mr. Bill Bennefield and Neal Ellis for running the rifle range; Mr. Madison and Mr. Smith for running the shotgun range, and Mr. Eggers, Mr. Clark, Mr. Schock, and Mr. Morris at the archery range all the shooting sports activities were maximized. Thanks also to Dr. Nelson and Mr. Benifield for making the rifles and shotguns available for the program. Help with all the activities was also rounded out by Mr. Branin and Mr. Thompson.

The evening patrol meals were excellent including dutch oven roast beef, pork loin, ribs, and New England submarines. The weather held sunny out on both days, to include most of the boys wearing out the camp water slide for more than an hour.

OLS Graduates: Congratulations also to Mr. Elmore, Mr. Bennett, an Mr. Crabtree for completing the Outdoor Leadership Course also held the same weekend a Sequoya.

PLC and Troop Committee Meeting September 20th: Since camp tents were already up when arrived, all we had to set up were the patrol tarps in Bucks Hideout. All we had to hang at the hut were the tarps also so that the patrol and troop quartermasters aren't required for the PLC Monday, September 20. The Senior Patrol Leader, patrol leaders. and assistant patrol leaders will store the tarps that have been hung and then begin the PLC. The PLC will start at 6:30 PM. The Troop Committee Meeting begins at 8:00 PM.

Thanks for all your support and for encouraging attendance.

Carpentry, Wreath, Shooting Sports

Carpentry merit badge: The 100th BSA Anniversary Carpentry Merit Badge has never been presented in the Troop as well as it is being presented and offered by Mr. Eggers as regards the basics of wood working. This is an excellent opportunity for your son to become familiarized with a life long skill he just can't come by. If there are still openings, we strongly recommend he take one.

Christmas Wreaths: Thanks to Mr. Simon all you need to know about wreath sales, including prices, are on our Troop web site in the first yellow link background that comes up, including the order form....They are about the same price this year, unless you are mailing them out to relatives, and then that is not much of a change. Dr. Hamilton goes to a great deal of work to assure our success with this and thanks to each of the families the sales gives us the operational freedom we need to be as successful as we are for the boys. As you know, other than Christmas Tree sales, wreaths are the foundation of our annual operating budget.

We are counting on each family to sell six wreaths this year for the Operations budget. Please help out by encouraging the Scout to make some sales or think about using them as gifts to family members. The work place is good potential also.

We had a good turn out for packing gear last night and all the gear is loaded for a great time at Sequoyah. Make sure he wears the proper uniform before he leaves the house (red t shirt, Scout shorts or long pants, belt, and socks)

He can/should bring a bag lunch and we will stop for a hamburger/snacks at Exit 168 on Interstate 20 for a few minutes enroute. We plan to return at around noon on Sunday.

He should bring his swimming trunks in case the Ranger will open up the water ride at camp for us in the later afternoon. We may also have the opportunity for some canoeing. The trunks cannot have metal buttons or decorative devices on them when riding the fiberglass water flume.

Our Monday night programs and weekend trips form the core of our program in producing the BSA purpose. Unless he has a reason not to be there, he needs to attend in order to gain the most from the program. Please encourage attendance.

Though short on the Venture Crew, we had a good turn out for the Program Monday night. Thanks to Mr. Crabtree, the scouts learned a great deal about the strengths and weaknesses of owning a small business, preparing one's self for the challenge, and the positives of success in the business place.

Mr. Thompson gave a brief summary of Lord Baden Powell's and the BSA origins with a illustrated presentation about Brown Sea Island, where, not by chance, he grew up next to as a young man, before his next twenty years in the United States.

Mr. Eggers carpentry merit badge has been and continues to be a great success for the boys with may compliments on the work accomplished for the merit badge. Great opportunity for acquired skills for a life time.

Congratulations to Mr. Crabtree, Elmore, Mr. Morrow, and Mr. Bennett for attending the BSA Scoutmaster fundamentals course last year or last weekend and thanks for their attending the companion course Outdoor Leadership Program this coming weekend at Camp Sequoyah. It makes a difference....

Mr. Bob Walker (BPUMC Committee) called me today indicating that they intend to use the tree lot for a large play ground...soon. I asked him when... and he didn't know for sure, but was wondering if I had alternative plans in case it happens soon.

I told him that if we can't use the usual lot near our bus, we would like to use the BPUMC lot behind the Korean Church since it is lighted and will not be greatly disruptive of parking for three weeks with our trees. He said we may be able to use the same lot where we are because he wasn't sure how fast they are moving to finish the new lot. I prefer to stay on campus for safety, minimal theft, and the maintenance of regular, annual customers.

I said if we have to move, we will have to dig in a power pole as we have to light the trailer and the lot as the current lot light in front of the Korean Church won't be enough for what we need and a extention cord from the Korean Church will be insufficient for our needs.

So.......we need to put this on our agenda for September Committee meeting. We need to see if we will still be able to use the old lot (Dout Hardy and Reid Crotty). If we can't use the old lot we need to move quickly for a pole near the Korean Church for the Trailer, lights, and our Troop marquis. Please drive over there and take a look..it may be our new home sooner than expected and we need to have a plan....It's my opinion that the new lot will be better for us as far as higher visibility..and even better sales...we just need to plan on being able to do it.

Finally..there is an updated Troop Roster on the Web Site..take a look at it for phone numbers, emails, addresses, and Scout information. Please reply with any changes.

Remember..a regular meeting at the Hut this Monday. Mandatory if coming on the trip for a head count, meals preparation, and safety briefings by Dr. Nelson and Mr. Eggers.

The Trip is 17-19th with more information on this coming Monday (13)

Carpentry Merit Badge

Boys and Parents,

I will be offering the Carpentry Merit Badge on three separate Sundays in September from 2:00pm-6:00pm. There will be room for 10 boys in each session. If necessary, I can add another day in October to allow everyone an opportunity. We will cover all the requirements and hopefully complete the required project in one afternoon.

The dates are Sept. 5th, 12th and the 26th. If you would like to participate, please email me with your preferred day. The earlier you email me the better chance you have of getting the day you want. Right now there are 6 spots available on the 5th, and 8 for the other two days. As I said earlier, I may have to plan a fourth day.

I will need some adult help. I need a least two other adults for each day, but more are always welcome! Let me know if you can help. If I don't have at least one other adult to meet the two-deep leadership requirement I will have to cancel that day.

The classes will be at my house. Check the troop roster for My Address: Cost of materials is $5.00 per boy.

Click here to see the page on meritbadge.org for the Carpentry Merit Badge. Please read the original pamphlet (pdf) and the New Information sheet (pdf).
