Hi everyone,

- Next Troop Meeting – Monday, March 3 - School Hall - 7:00-9:00 PM

We will continue getting ready for the cabin camping weekend at Camp Oh-Da-Ko-Ta. The patrols will be checking their kitchen boxes, finalizing menus and shopping lists, and getting coolers and dry boxes.

There will also be opportunities for individual rank advancement.

Class A uniforms for this meeting.

- Bishop John Siemianowski – Mass of Thanksgiving – Saturday, March 1 – 5:00 PM

Four Scouts are lined up to serve as the Color Guard for Father John’s Mass of Thanksgiving. The remainder of the Troop, families, and leaders are invited to sit together at the Mass and receive a special blessing from our new bishop at the end of Mass.

- White River Canoe Trip - June 16-20 - Sign-Ups are Open!

I hope you saw the email about the White River Canoe Trip in June. We will start taking sign-ups for the trip at the March 3 Troop meeting.

- Women’s and Men’s Retreats at St. Juliana in March

One-day retreats for men and women are being offered in late June at St. Juliana. The retreats are a great opportunity to take a little time to deepen your relationship with Jesus. You can get more information at stjuliana.org. Once you are on the parish website search “Men’s Retreat” or “Women’s Retreat”. You don’t need to be a member of the parish to participate. All are welcome!
