Events/trip in January 2011

Please mark your Calendars for the following dates in January, 2011:

January 8-9 (Saturday, Saturday night, and Sunday Morning)

This is the day for the Troop Annual Planning Conference where the Scouts plan out our activities for 2011 and January of 2012. This is a lock in weekend for the boys and for one leader who stays with me. All the Scouts need to attend to be part of deciding what we will plan for activies for the coming year. The Troop provides lunch at the Bluff Park United Methodist Church, where we will be, and he should bring $10.00 for his supper at the Hoover Golden Corral for supper. He will need to be picked up by 8:00 AM on Sunday January 9th. Uniform is the Class A with tan shirt, scout socks, scout belt, and trousers (Shorts or long trousers). He can bring street clothes to change into for the evening after meals and planning time are finished in the evening.

January 15-17 (Martin Luther King Holiday weekend) Troop Weekend

Thanks to the time and efforts of Captain Kelly Gandy, on January 15 we head out on the Troop bus and a follow-on car to New Orleans, tour the Chamelett Battle Ground, check into an National Guard Building, then go out to eat (fast food).

On the 16th we travel to the D Day Museum (will stop for fast food breakfast and he buys lunch at the museum), and if time to the Confederate Museum in downtown New Orleans, then eat a fast food dinner before returning to our Building in the early evening.

We will pack up and leave at around 7:30AM on the 17th and head back to Hoover.

Trip cost TBD by numbers and group consensus on other activities...fees for museums TBA

Uniform will be Class A the entire time except in the overnight building.

Thanks for your support and encouraging attendance.
