We are in the process of coming up with a T-Shirt design for the troop. Scouts and scouters are encouraged to submit a design to be considered for the troop. Visit this page to see some designs which are being considered at this time. Thanks. |
No Meeting Tonight Due to Inclement Weather and Unsafe Road Conditions
Due to inclement weather and unsafe road conditions, there will be no scout meeting or patrol leaders conference meeting tonight. Furthermore, due to low commitment levels by the boys, the troop will not be sending a contingent to the Council Camporee this coming weekend. Please find the attached registration form for the OA Fall Fellowship. Boys will need to sign up individually if they wish to attend. Registrations are due October 23. Thanks, Neal Sarvis |
