"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

Labor Day and a Campout

This is just a reminder of a couple of upcoming activities for our boys.  September 3rd is Labor Day, and as such we will be delivering and picking up flags.  Please remember that this service is what pays for our troop to be able to attend summer camp so we are expecting everyone to participate.  During our last Court of Honor over 100 merit badges and around 20 rank advancements were awarded.  The vast majority of merit badges were a direct result of attending scout camp, and a number of requirements for rank advancement were also met while at camp so please come and do your part.

This weekend we will be camping, again.  This time it will be car camping--so no significant hiking will take place.  Scouts on Wednesday will focus on preparing for this camping trip.  You won't want to miss this one!
