Hi everyone,
- Next Troop Meeting – Court of Honor – October 7 – School Hall
The Fall Court of Honor acknowledges the work of the Scouts on rank advancement and merit badges earned. After summer camp most Scouts earned a merit badge or advanced in rank. Please plan to attend the Court of Honor to support your son in Scouting. It means a lot to a Scout to have a parent or family member present to see them receive awards for the work they have done.
Class A uniforms for everyone! 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. Here is the beautiful medal the Scouts receive for the award.
