I trust that everyone has had a happy holiday and looking forward to a great new year. As we look back on the year in scouting, we were graced with a huge influx of new scouts that brought a new energy to the troop. We attended some great outings and a few of our senior scouts were able to perform community service projects.
Most significantly, for me scouting meant an opportunity to meet some great people and great scouts. Our troop adult leadership, council leaders and parent volunteers - we can all find things to look up to. It's also a great feeling of acomplishment to see our new scouts advancing and maturing so quickly. It was just a few short years when I first joined the troop and the metamorphasis and am constantly amazed that the changes - you will certainly want to witness your scout growing and learning. I encourage you to attend as many of our outings and meetings to bear witness for yourself.
This is a reminder that we are back ON on January 4 2010 - our first scout meeting for the new year.
Also, on December 2 - this SATURDAY, we will be taking down the ribbons from the neighborhood and putting them away for use in the future. To date, we have raised approximately $450 for the troop - Many thanks to those who helped.
