"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

Christopher Creek Gear List and Assignments

I am hoping to be able to update our departure time later this evening.  As of right now we are planning to leave at 4 pm, however because of science camp we are unsure of when we will actually be able to leave.  Because of this we will be handling our departure a little differently this time.  Unlike normal, we will NOT be meeting at the church.  We will be driving to your homes to pick you up, so be prepared!  We may arrive at your home at 4 pm, but it could also be quite a bit later depending on the availability of the young men in our troop.
