"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

Special Scouts Meeting

First off, we will be meeting as normal on Wednesday at 6:45pm at the church for our weekly scout meeting.

The purpose of this post is to let you know that we will be having an extra scout meeting this week on Thursday at 4:00pm at Bro. Vincent's home.  Here is the list of those who need to come to this meeting: Cedric, Dylan, Hayden, Jacob T., Jordan, Michael V., and Zach F..  Kye, I haven't seen your scout records yet but I'm assuming that you need to be there as well.  During this meeting we will be passing off a few requirements for first and second class.  If your name is on this list it is because you stand in need of at least one of these requirements, if not all three.  For some of you this will mean the difference between rank advancement at this court of honor and no rank advancement until the next court of honor.

I also wanted to put out yet another reminder for those of you who have yet to do some of the requirements that need to be done on your own.  First of all, for those of you who haven't passed off second class requirement 10 (that's the earn and save money one), please earn and save money.  If you have questions about it please let one of your leaders know.  This requirement often holds people back, please don't let it do this to you.  The second requirement that tends to hold people up is first class requirement 10.  In order to accomplish this you need to tell a young man who is old enough to join about our troop, some of its activities, and invite them to come and join.  Again, if you have any questions about it please let one of your leaders know.

It is quite possible that as many as 10 of you can have rank advancements at this upcoming court of honor.  10!  That's awesome!  And some of you may be eligible for more than one rank advancement.  We're on pace for an amazing court of honor.  Push yourself this week and see how much you can accomplish.
