Troop News

Dr. Nelson will be at the Scout Hut on Sunday at 1:30 PM for those Scouts who need to complete the rifle merit badge (clean a rifle) they worked on during the May trip.....the next opportunity will be on August 13th w/Mr. Dan Coker when those who want to work and complete the shotgun or rifle merit badge can at the range on South Shades Crest in Hoover.

There were several Scouts who completed the shotgun merit badge at the Shooting Sports activity at
Camp Sequoyah in May...they need to call the Scoutmaster some time this week or see him Monday at the meeting to complete those requirements. Please make sure he does this in order to be awarded the badge at the August Court of Honor.

Thanks to Mr. Cox, and all the leaders who went on the trip last night, the climbing activities at "1st
Avenue Rocks" was as much fun as they could have in a couple of hours. we left the hut just short of 6:00 PM and returned by 8:30.

Congratulations to D Holditch for being awarded his Eagle last night at the Eagle Boards..Thanks again to Mr Morrow for his work as Troop Eagle Advisor in making sure all the work and details for the Eagle projects are completed as planned and required with our Scouts and their families.

As earlier announced, M Phillips will be working on his Eagle project tomorrow 9am ....this is an activity and check off for service for the Scouts that need it... as well as help him complete it...uniform is not required but the red t shirt and shorts is optional. They will meet at the Deer Valley Elementary School on the Ross Bridge Parkway. Groups of Scouts and leaders (driving vehicles) will place plaques on street storm drains in the Ross bridge area. .

Finally, attendance is required for Scouts at the Monday night meeting (July 18) to complete preparations for the Troop water sports trip next weekend. We need a head count, go over basics, and cover other topics planned in the PLC. As of today we are expecting six power boats and our six canoes (to work on the canoe merit badge) at lake Logan Martin (July 22-24).

Thanks for all your support and encouraging attendance.
