Troop News

The Lot is moving in high gear with sales as strong they ought to be...Please don't forget look at the Troop Tree Schedule for his and a parent's turn at sales on the Lot. Thanks to Mr. Madison and Dr. Hamilton and the Scouts that joined them, the delivery was made to the community on Tyler Saturday morning.

Note....The last team closing the lot needs to assure a plastic garbage bag is wrapped around the big up-right tree drill to protect it from the weather. It looks like the Security light isn't working at this time. Mr. Oliver, or his relief, will be there each evening for a money pick up...if not before you leave, please secure it as earlier noted.

Our meeting Monday Nov 29 will be a continuation of the Aviation Merit Badge with Mr. Bennett whose time and resources has made it the best presentation of the badge in recent memory.The Scoutmaster Minute will be given by Mr. David Hutchens.

The December 6th meeting will be the Troop Picture/Composite night. Last year we only had about thirty boys and ten leaders take the picture.

This year we need all the active Scouts and Leaders (uniformed) to take a picture for a complete Troop composite. The cost for the composite is $20.00 and $10.00 if you want an additional individual or family portrait.

There is no cost just to have the Scout present and have the picture taken for the composite, so please encourage attendance to make this more successful this year. Uniform is Class A with merit badge sash and Troop neckerchief... He can leave if he wants to once the picture is taken or participate in the activities that night.

Mr. Wes Smith will be going into the Brookwood Hospital on Tuesday afternoon for surgery. Please keep him in your prayers for his expected success and a quick recovery. We will have a card at the meeting for all to sign so we can get it him the next day.

Don't forget that the Troop will have it's annual Christmas party on the 13th as covered on a previous blog......Scouts should bring a inexpensive gift (non-gag) for a Dirty Santa format.They will talk more to the party at the meeting tomorrow and on the December 6th.

Thanks for all your support and for encouraging attendance.
