One of our best trips to Shiloh this weekend with about 80 Scouts and leaders..thanks particularly to all the leaders who participated and made it work..thanks to Mr. Gunn and the advance party there were no tentage issues and our site was as strong as always...thanks to Mr. Hanke all the Trails were assigned and accounted for...thanks to Mr. Presley, Mr. Madison, and Mr. Clark meals were accessible with an dinner, thanks to Mr.Presley's barbeque,  that like past roast beef stews, set a new precedent....Thanks to Mr. Simon the trip pictures are on the Troop Web Site.

Despite the forecast for rain tomorrow, the Troop has decided to still participate in the Birmingham Veteran's Day parade tomorrow.  Since it is a school holiday as many Scouts a possible should plan on attending.

The uniform is khaki shirt with the Troop Neckerchief, merit badge sash, BSA trousers or shorts, belt and socks.

We will meet at the Hut beginning at 8:00 AM Monday, November 12, in Class A's to take down tents and other quartermaster activities.   At 10:30 AM we will take the bus to the Hoover Golden Corral folunch...Each person should bring enough cash for the meal (buffet) and gratuity  ( I think the cost is about $10:00 for the Scout for the buffet.

We will depart the Corral  for the parade at 12:30 or so to arrive a 1:00 PM and should return around 3:30 PM or sooner. The Scout should dress for the weather.

We will have remainder of the Quartermasters report at 6:30 to complete the tent and equipment storage (uniform not required), the the Troop Patrol Leader's conference at 7:00 PM, followed by the Troop Committee meeting at 8:00PM.
