Order of the Arrow drum competition and ceremony practice will be taking place as noted by Ben Putnam for all the members in the Troop who will practice that or want to get involved by being at the Metropolitan Church of God off of Acton road in the fartherest building down on the right as you pass the main Sanctuary entrance. Haven't been there and done it yet..good time to start if your Scout is a OA member and wants to get active with the Nunne-Hi Chapter 2-4PM Feb 6 (Sunday)

If you haven't up to this time..take the time and go to:Woodbadgeman.com and take a look at the way Mr. Alvie Allison has outlined rank and Eagle requirements for the Scout..His handbook is exactly what the Life Scout needs in order to prep for his Eagle Project...or other merit badges which are required.....excellent information of leaders on training, Scouting, and other subject areas...

Mr. Allision is the Vulcan District Advancement Committee Chairman and he has this information in this bundle better than ever before presented to keep the Scout on track to Eagle..including the project planning guide he will have to follow for his Eagle Project in the Vulcan District. Make a copy of it for him to start thinking about if he is coming up on Life or there already.

Thanks for all your support and for encouraging attendance,.
