Troop News

Thanks again to all the planning, preparation, improvising, adapting,
and overcoming by Mr. Doug Hardy, the Troop's "Trip of a Life Time"
crew,  to the Yellowstone National Park and return from over  a two
week period reached  the Hut around 4:30 PM yesterday, July 21.

Highlights of the trip included the Louisville Slugger factory, the
St Louis Arch, the National Badlands Park, Mt. Rushmore,  the Crazy
Horse  monument, the National Yellowstone Park (all four compass points
and two hikes), the Denver Mint, and the Dodge City Kansas, Boot Hill
guns slingers, saloon,  and variety show.

Thanks also to Mr. Paul Young for hauling the trailer and for all the
parents and leaders who attended as well.  Pictures will be posted on
the Troop web site.

Other than the BSA high adventure trips, this was a successful
precedent for the Troop, and the work Mr. Hardy took in it's complete
planning and execution is noteworthy of his hard work and dedication to
the Troop in making it work.....Thanks also to his wife Paula and the
boys..Scott and Sam for their assisting up to the time we left.

There will be a regular meeting tomorrow (July 23)  at the Hut at the
regular time in the class B uniform.  The Program will be "Bullying,"
as  arranged as  a special guest speaker by Mr. Griggs.

Those attending the Wilderness Survival merit badge campout this coming
weekend (July 27-29) are required to be at the meeting on July 23 for a
program by Dr. Frank Nelson, a headcount for numbers, meal preparation,
  and the cost for the trip to the Oak Mountain primitive campsites( at
this time $20.00 for fuel, meals, and park entry fees).


Thanks for all your support and for encouraging attendance....
