Troop 14 News and Events - 11/18/09
Wednesday, November 18, 2009
For those of us fortunate to attend our annual Roc Stoc campout last weekend, aside from bearing 31 degree weather and a narly wind on friday night (fun trying to put up your tent when the wind is trying to blow it down), there were lots of rocket launches and lots of failures. Thanks to master chef Ron, the adults were treated to gourmet breakfast and bbq skewers and home made soup for dinner. YUM! Thanks Ron! This year we had 10 launch pads running and though Art was not able to launch any of his big rockets, the kids had lots of opportunities to launch their rockets in the morning and afternoon.
Please note, some of our calendar dates are changing - please look for an official calendar effective Monday Nov 23. Our apologies for changes - but our calendar shifts as we get closer to outing dates. Please, note the following upcoming dates:

- BHUMC Scout Appreciation Day - Sun Dec 6 - 10:00 a.m.In appreciation of our recent Eagle Projects with our charter sponsor church, the Belmont Heights United Methodist Church will be recognizing the efforts of our eagle candidate scouts and all that helped out on the projects. Please plan on attending mass and joining us on Sunday.
- Holiday Ribbon Project - Sat Dec 5 and Sat Jun 2Every year during the holiday season, we line the trees of Belmont Heights with ribbons. A short note is attached describing our efforts and the troops' participation. In years past we've collected considerable donations to help ofset some of our outing costs and to provide scholarships to some of our scouts. Please join us on Sat Dec 5 to help line the trees. The more trees we line, the more our efforts will show - and the more donations we will receive.
