Boy Scout Troop 22

MIA-POW luncheon

The Troop will be serving lunch at the POW-MIA luncheon on Saturday. The luncheon will be from 11:30 to 1:30 and we would like you to be there by 11:15 to go over the process for serving. I know that you have all done this before, but we will need to figure out the best way to do our job depending on the table layout.  See you Saturday.

Court of Honor

What a turnout!!!  The room was filled to (almost) capacity!  We added a fourth row of tables for the anticipated crowd and it's a good thing we did.  For a simple, basic meal of hot dogs and picnic sides, that was a fabulous meal.  Maybe I was just in need of a chili dog.

Lots of rank advancement, a few merit badges and some special awards were handed out.  A couple of nice presentations were shown.  The first one was to help a scout finish up the Citizenship in the Community merit badge and the second was from the troop historian.  It covered our participation in the VFW Memorial Day Parade.  Good job to both of you!

Lots of talk concerning summer camp also.  We're under a month until we leave.  Hopefully you'll be able to attend.  Too much fun to miss.  Trust me on that one!

Memorial Weekend - a look back

Placing crosses went very well.  Troop 22 was well represented.  Other scout units were present, along with various military units and individuals.  A very large crowd (the largest I have seen) showed up.  Thank you to all that showed up and helped to honor the fallen.

Later in the day we worked on our float for the parade that took place on Memorial Day.  Lots of boys showed up to help.  The parade was fun (I think the boys would agree).  They took turns riding in the push car we built last year.  Lots of hoots and hollars for the Boy Scouts from the crowd.  Nice to hear the encouragement.

Memorial Day weekend and other stuff

Relatively busy weekend.  Everyone should know by now what is happening so I'm not going to to rehash it here.  I've heard from a couple of families that will not be able to attend to our events this weekend, but I expect to see everyone else.  So, I'll see you this weekend.

I have only heard from two families about the Scout Night at the River Cats.  Does anyone want to take advantage of this?  Let me know.

Memorial Day weekend

A couple of big items taking place on Memorial Day weekend.  First is the placing of crosses on the veterans gravesites at East Lawn Memorial.  Second is the VFW parade on Memorial Day.  Make sure you have these items on your calendars.
