Wanna earn some retired merit badges?

During this year of celebration, the BSA is offering Scouts a chance to earn up to four merit badges that have been "retired".  Some for quite a few years.  Here are the four that have been brought back:

The requirements for earning these badges haven't been posted yet, but I will get them as soon as they become available.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think that would be pretty cool to have a merit badge on my sash that hasn't been available for years.  Maybe all four?

If you would like to read a little more about them visit this site.  You will probably need to do a copy/paste of the entire link into your web browser address bar :

Changes to meeting dates

We were planning on building our snow shoes this Monday, the 28th, and also the following Sunday, Jan. 3rd. We have decided to cancel these meetings altogether. We will now be building our snow shoes on the weekend of January 16th & 17th (if needed). More information will be forthcoming at our upcoming troop meetings. See you all there.

Pumpkin Carving

We will jump into the gooey mess that is the inside of a pumpkin. I love to carve pumpkins and I hope that I can show the boys it's fun too. We'll see you all Saturday!!!

PLC this Sunday

Just like the title says... We'll be meeting at the VFW hall from 4 to 5 pm.

Halloween Parrrtaayyy

Took a break from our normal type meetings and the boys had a party night. Lots of games this evening. They even surprised me with a birthday cake. Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.

10-19 Meeting

Productive evening. The boys began work on two Eagle required merit badges, all by themselves. They plan on finishing them up before Thanksgiving.

Can't figure it out

why I haven't been updating the blog lately. I don't mean not to. Just keep finding other things to do I guess. I'm just going to have to make sure and set aside, what, 10 minutes a day, maybe, to keep it updated.
