The purpose of this blog is to provide the young men of Boy Scout Troop 819, and their parents or guardians, with a simple way of obtaining information relating to the comings and goings of our troop.
"Scouting brings out the best in each of us. Live what you've learned and will continue to learn. Help others to hike the trails, to keep steadfast in the paths of truth, of honor, of duty, that all of you can soar together on eagles' wings. You are part of a mighty army of youth, even a royal army, and every organization, to be successful, has an honored tradition to uphold. May you uphold Scouting's tradition, for it can be as a lighthouse beacon in the world of stormy seas, it can be a motivation to prepare for your role in life, it can be a yardstick against which you measure your accomplishments." ~President Thomas S. Monson--2010

Scouting for Food
Our participation in The Scouting for Food drive starts on Wednesday, February 1st, at 6:45pm. For those who don't know what this is, let me explain. As scouts, we will be delivering flyer's to the homes in our neighborhoods asking them to donate food to our local food banks. Each home in our area will receive a flyer. On the morning of Saturday, February 4th, we will meet again to drive through our neighborhoods to collect the food that our neighbors are donating. The food will then be delivered to our stake center. From there the food will go to our local food banks so that it can be used to help those who are in need. Please keep in mind that we are representing the Boy Scouts of America, and as such we need to be in our Boy Scout UNIFORMS. By participating in this food drive we are fulfilling part of our oath, which is "to help other people at all times." Please keep the people that we are serving in mind as we participate in this service.
