TROOP NEWS:
Our troop elections were held on Nov 2. The boys tried their hand at the political process giving their campaign speeches - full of promises and bribes of food. We will look forward to installing our new Senior Patrol Leaders, Patrol Leaders and other officers at the Court of Honor at our Nov 16 meeting.
For those of us who attended Connor's eagle project (part I) on Sunday, we had an opportunity to witness an amazing display of teamwork, craftmanship and planning. On the first day, Connor and his crew were able to get the bulk of the shelving cut and installed. Stay tuned for Part II and Part II (see below for details).

Scouts planning on attending should attend so we get an accurate headcount. Campout fees for food are $15 per scout / sibbling and $20 per adult. Please bring CASH as we will be redistributing the funds to scouts in the patrol to purchase food. If you would like to earn the Rocketry Merit Badge, BRING YOUR MERIT BADGE HANDOUT and complete the requirements with CHUCK. Extra rockets will be awarded to scouts who earn the rocketry merit badge!!! Our campout is Friday November 13 - Sunday Nov 15
- Court of Honor - November 16In addition to honoring our scouts' recent rank and merit badge achievements, we will be installing our new leadership. If your scout was recently elected to office, please plan on attending so he can be recognized.
