Next week will be busy.  Scouts will be at its usual time on Wednesday.  On Thursday, those who did the American Heritage Merit Badge during Constitution Week will need to meet at Brother Raymond's home at 6:30 to complete pass off the badge.  On Friday we will be going camping.  For further details please join us at scouts on Wednesday, November 7th.

One last announcement, we will be having a Court of Honor on November 18th.

Please make sure to bring your complete health form and permission slip with you.  You will also be expected to be in uniform for much of this camp.  You will need to prepare well so that you can stay warm.  The high temperature will likely be in the high 60’s, and it could get down as low as 35 degrees at night, so pack accordingly.  Remember that this is not solely a troop camp; we will be camping with a large number of scouts from our district so plan to represent your troop well.
