School Night for Scouting

Thursday night August 31st will be our annual School Night for Scouting Campaign at the Scout Hut at 7 PM. Invite your friends 11 and older to come out and see what scouting is all about, we will have a short meeting and then some activities and snacks to follow. Josh Chumbley our new District Executive will be going to the middle school and handing out fliers on Thursday. I would like to encourage all the scouts to wear your Class A or at least Class B to school on Thursday to help promote our Troop.

Thanks to all who came out Thursday night

I really appreciate the turnout we had at our Court of Honor this week. It's always fun to show the parents what the scouts have accomplished and as you saw they really have done a lot over the last few months. We are now ready to kick off the School year and there will be many things coming up this fall for everyone to do. Don't forget Thursday August 31st is school night for scouting, invite your friends to come by and see what's going on at scouts, lets keep our troop growing!!!!!! I want to thank the parents that have volunteered to help out with the Troop Committee, you will be getting a call from the Committee Chairman about when would be the best time for a meeting. I hope to see every scout at the meeting Thursday night so we can get things going and growing for the fall.
