Hi everyone,
- Next Troop Meeting – October 14 – Ahearn Center (Gym) – 7:00-9:00 PM
We had a great Court of Honor last week. Almost every Scout received recognition for rank advancement or merit badges earned since last May. Thanks to all the parents who came out to support their son in Scouting.
This week we will be working on individual rank advancement for Scouts who want to keep on moving along the trail to Eagle.
Class A uniforms for everyone! Thank you!

- IMPORTANT 2025 Dues Information from Pete Stolarski
Greetings,
As I mentioned at Monday’s Court of Honor, the Troop Committee has set the dues for 2025 for Scouts at $150.
A separate email will be sent when we start collecting this fee. The vast majority of Troop members reregister at the end of the calendar year. Some Scouts have registered at different times of the year and have done so electronically with the local Council. They have the ability to pay online as well.
Reregister but PLEASE DO NOT PAY ON LINE!
Please contact Pete Stolarski and we will determine the prorated amount that should be paid to the Troop.
This will also apply to Leaders as well.
We will then pay the council on your behalf. Please make checks out to Troop 965.
Any questions, please contact me.
Thank you.

- Upcoming Dates
- October 25-27 Camping Weekend at Rock Cut State Park
The Troop will be tent camping at Rock Cut State Park on the weekend of October 25-27. The Rock Cut group campsite lies along the shore of Pierce Lake. It is a beautiful spot and especially pretty in the fall as the leaves change colors. The cost of the weekend is $45.00 per person and the permission slip can be found in the Resource Center. The permission slip and the fee are due at the October 21 Troop meeting.
- Ad Altare Dei Catholic Scout Award
The Troop will be offering our Scouts the opportunity to earn the Catholic Scout religious award – Ad Altare Dei – Latin for “to the Altar of God” beginning in November. Mr. Chris Floss and Deacon Tom Dombai have offered their services to be counselors for the award. There will be a modest charge to cover the costs of the program.
See you soon!
