The Troop will be going on a back packing trip to the Pinhoti Trail during the first weekend of March (4-6). He will also have to be present at the Thursday night quartermaster meeting (March 3) to pack his and other crew gear. Leaders and Scouts who plan to attend will be required to be at the Feburary 28th meeting for a headcount, information, and planning. He will also have to be present at the Thursday night quartermaster meeting (March 3) to pack his and other crew gear.

We will need two leaders with follow-on vehicles for the trip (not including the Troop trailer hauler).

We have four packs available at the Hut for borrowing if necessary. If your son is an older Scout and has not back-packed, attendance is encouraged for the experience. The Pinhoti Trail section we will be on is a relatively flat and the distance is less than eight miles.

The cost for the Trip is $22.00 (fuel and meals). Please bring a check and the BSA Release Form to the Hut, Monday Feb 28, to assist with our numbers Count.

Congratulations and thanks to Mr. Elmore for stepping up to Troop Treasurer, replacing Mr. Oliver..and thanks and congratulations to Mr. Hutchens for stepping up and accepting the position of new Scout advisor along with Mr. Hardy.

As you know we will be welcoming more than 18 new WEBELOS this Spring thanks the efforts and leadership of Mr. Greg Stocks and Mr. Nevin Cox. We will be starting the transition this Thursday night at the Hut and formally at their Crossover on March 21.

Have uniforms your son no longer wears? Bring it to the Hut and we will re-circulate it in the "experienced uniforms" boxes for newly entering Scouts.

Thanks again for all your support and encouraging attendance.
