Troop News

We had a minimum of about thirty Scouts and leaders at the Scout Expo today at the Brookwood Mall. The Boys set up the monkey bridge, had hot dogs, chips, and cobbler for lunch...Those who attended need to pick up the Pioneering merit badge book and complete the badge since the major requirements were met today with the bridge building. Thanks to all the leaders who were present to make the trip as successful as it was.

There is a good chance we will be on the local 10:00 Channel CBS Channel 42 news tonight showing the bridge, our green, charcoal cooking fire place, and maybe some other activities. Thanks for encouraging attendance an making the Expo a success for us.

We will unload the Frank Tank at the meeting on the 27th. We need strong attendance on the 27th as the Scouts will be electing Troop leadership for the next six months. We will also be completing the Bluff Park Art Show Schedule to cover the day, Saturday October 3, in the Park adjoining the Hut,,We will begin at 6:30 AM with the set up and assist with our service, selling ice cream, water, and coffee until 4:30 - 5:00 PM. This is an annual Troop commitment in the Class A uniform for Scouts and Leaders alike...please encourage attendance as yours and his schedules permit. All the service requirements will be explained by the Senior Monday night.

We forgot to list Leaders having the Scoutmaster's Minute for meetings the last week of September and all of October..they are..If you can't make it please call the Senior and find a replacement leader in your place: remember this is just a one minute reflection for the Scouts at the end of the meeting before the Benediction.

The Eagle Court of Honor on October 17th is in the old Sanctuary of the Bluff Park UMC. The time is 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM including the reception. Four Scouts will receive their Eagle rank: D Peterson, J Hamilton, B Preston, and Z Harbin...each just about used 99/100ths of the seven year journey..if your son is a first year Scout, or hasn't attended an Eagle Court, he needs to have a look at the ceremony in anticipation of his own. The Troop has produced more than 170 Eagles over the past 92 years with the majority since it has been Chartered here in Bluff Park since 1945. Uniform for the Scouts is the Class A, with Troop neckerchief, and merit badge sash.

Thanks again for your support and encouraging attendance..
