Troop News

We had a good Memorial Day weekend w/the Troop.

On Saturday, E Ponder and G Bennett completed the Aviation Merit Badge by attending a short class at the Shelby County Airport, a pre-flight walk around their plane, and a forty minute, free flight around the Birmingham Bessemer Hoover areas for a forty minutes. Thanks Mr. Bennett for the advance notice and inviting the boys for the opportunity.

Thanks to all who came, the Troop was well represented at the annual Veterans Day Memorial ceremony in the Alabama Veterans Memorial Park near the Liberty Park exit. The Scouts assisted the flag ceremony and P Kidd and J Ng read a list of over 200 veterans representing the more than 4000 Alabama men and women who served and "gave their lives, so that we may enjoy ours today."

P Kidd also gave a presentation representing all the active duty families whose fathers and mothers are active duty at this time and in the future.

Scout attending were:

P and E Kidd K and J Berry C Hutchens J Coker I Eggers Z Cole A and D Cullwell
J and N Ng M Singh J young

Parents and Leaders Mr. S Ng P Young C Hanke C Kidd, P and E Eggers C Berry S Cole
