Updates

Hey all

 

Lots of info - really quick.

 

Tracking Merit badge - Rolling out next week. One of the do at home reqs is to take a picture of a birds nest. Email it back to me. If you need help-there is a nest at the scout hut.

 

Adopt a Road Day - August 14th - We decided to cancel it due to the extreme heat conditions. Wearing a rubber vest in 100 degree heat is just not going to be fun.We will just get back on track with the next one. This also allows our OA candidates and OA members a chance to attend the Fall Ordeal.

 

Prime the Hut Day - August 21st from 8 till 12. We plan to prime the outside of the Scout Hut. Please come by, bring paint brushes, pans, rollers, and ladders. We will get all of the exterior work done that morning.

 

Paint the Hut Day - Saturday Sept 4th. We will paint the hut from 8-12 am. Bring your brushes, rollers, pans, ladders. I will be talking to the green bars - maybe we can include Scout Day at the races?? Lets get the hut painted. Please come help.

 

Den Chiefs - Austin Miller and Stephen Holly have volunteered to be Den Chiefs for separate Webelo Dens. Austin will be working with Pack 168, and Stephen with Pack 165. Thank these young men for their dedication to Scouting.

 

Can Food Drive - We have started an in house can food drive between the patrols. Please bring any can foods you can donate to the meetings. Before Thanksgiving we will take, donate, and sort all of the donations at the food pantry.

 

Fundraisers - We have three really great ones rolling out in the next few weeks. Please use them to help differ the cost of Scouting. Cheryl S., and Susan H. are heading them up. Stay tuned for details.

 

August Campout - We were trying to put together a joint campout between Troop 62 and ourselves to share the expense of doing the Cope courses at Thunder. It fell apart due a long story involving some old "friends" of our Troop. Anyway everything looks like it worked out good for Troop 62, but they did not have time to change their plans. So we will still go to Thunder, but will do the Geo caching Merit Badge instead. If you have a handheld GPS, we will need it that weekend.

 

More details soon.

 

Thanks
