Updates and info

I have added a link in the "Useful Scout Links" section to view a promotional video for Camp Fleischmann.  Pretty nice actually.

Remember those historic merit badges I mentioned a month or so ago?  They're on hold for now.  It seems that national couldn't determine the requirements in time.  I mean, it's not like they knew this year was coming, right?

For those that may be wondering, we will be having our normally scheduled troop meetings during the weeks that school districts take off for spring break.  Each school district seems to take off a different week so if you will be traveling and can't make it to a meeting, that happens sometimes.  We understand.

PLC's have been held on the Sunday prior to our monthly committee meeting.  This meeting has been moved and will now be held on the same Monday as the committee meeting (the first Monday of each month) from 5:30 to 6:30.  The troop and committee meetings will then begin at their normal time of 7:00.

There are other changes to the structure to our troop that will be coming and those will be announced when appropriate.

How did/are you celebrating?

February 8th, 2010.  Happy birthday to the Boy Scouts of America.  It was incorporated on this day 100 years ago.  Our Troop, as I am sure is the case with most Troops typically celebrate with Courts of Honor and don't do anything special to commemorate this date.  Cub Scouts have always had their Blue & Gold banquet.  So this year I thought it was appropriate to hold a Tan & Green pot luck.  Our current boys all prepared a main course of either Chili or Spaghetti.  A strange combo yes (at least to me), but that's what was decided on.  We also greeted our newest scouts that crossed over the previous Saturday.  Nine new scouts.  Welcome to all of you.

All of the food was delicious.  Thanks to all of the boys for their efforts in preparing their dishes and to the families for bring side dishes and desserts.  Their was a home/hand made yellow cake with actual butter cream chocolate frosting that one of our families made.  Man those store bought ... things ... just can't compare.
