Troop News

We had a better trip than usual this weekend based on numbers and the weather. Both were exactly what we needed for a great time. Though there was a fire restriction, we were able to have a camp fire in the fire pit all day long.

Fourteen Scouts earned the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge and about ten completed the Oak Mountain mountain bike trail.

Thanks to Dr. Nelson and all the leaders who helped out, the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge to the entire day. Likewise, thanks to Mr. Berry and Mr. Camp the biking trail nearly took the entire day also. Thanks to Mr. Simon all the pictures of all the activities are posted on the Troop Web Site. Thanks to Mr. Lepianka, the Sunday morning service was excellent.

Don't forget that tonight is the Troop Court of Honor at the Bluff Park United Methodist Church on Valley here in Bluff Park. As a reminder, the menu (Pot Luck entres} responsibilities for the families and patrols as well as the times are posted on the Troop Web Site Blog site/section under activities on September 21.

We are attaching the agenda again...make a copy or two for you family and the Scout as the agenda also lists Scout and leader jobs for the next six months.

Courts of Honors are family affairs reviewing the last six months, celebrating our success as a Troop, and acknowledging all the work and advancement of the Scouts. Uniform for the Scout is the tan shirt, Scout belt, scout shorts or long trousers, Troop Neckerchief, or BSA bolo, Scout socks, the merit badge sash if he has sewn his merit badges on.
