There will be a Patrol Leaders Council meeting for the three incoming Patrol Leaders, as well as both current and incoming SPLs and ASPLs, this Monday, July 30 at 6:15 pm. Remember that beginning August 1 we will officially have three Patrols. Please plan to arrive at least five minutes early.
Also, this Monday is “The Scouting Games” – a trivia test on Scouting skills. (Hint, make sure you know first aid skills and knots found in your Scout Handbook.)
Just a reminder that there is NO Troop activity this weekend and NO Troop meeting on Monday, July 23.

The troop’s popcorn kernel is wanting help to come up with a new idea for the $750 reward. Last year it was a water park pass, but because those who reached it didn’t want it she wants some help coming up with a new reward. If you have a idea, bring it to the next troop meeting
As a reminder, there will be no Troop meeting this Monday, July 2, 2018. Our next Troop Meeting will be Monday, July 9, 2018 at 7:00PM. The Troop Committee Meeting will also meet that day at 6:15pm.
As a reminder, we will be leaving from the Kmart parking lot at 9:30am on Sunday, June 24, 2018. ALL Scouts MUST be in FULL Class A Uniform. This includes pants, neckerchief and neckerchief slide. All scouts need to have their raingear packed at the top of their footlocker for easy access. Order of the Arrow scouts need to bring their Order of the Arrow sash. No electronics are allowed.
There will be no regular Troop meeting on Monday, June 25, 2018.
After Monday’s Patrol Leader Council meeting and an all-Troop discussion that followed, it has been decided to merge several Patrols as we prepare to move into another term for our youth leadership.
Essentially, we will be merging the Eagle/Phoenix and Frontiersman Patrols into one, Cobra and Bobcat into a second Patrol, and the Wolf Patrol will remain as is. The two new Patrols will need to select new Patrol names, so be thinking of what you might like. (The Troop will provide new patches at the next Court of Honor on August 20.)
Elections for Patrol Leaders for all three Patrols will take place during this coming Monday’s meeting (June 18), so please plan to attend. Terms for new Patrol Leaders take effect August 1, although we may utilize the new Patrol format during our July outing.
