Elections – Date Change
Originally we planed to have Troop elections on 10/16. They are now scheduled for 10/23. There is a choir concert on the 16th that a significant number of the boys are performing in.
Spook-o-ree
Spook-o-ree is a halloween themed event for Cub Scouts and they are looking for Boy Scouts to volunteer. Volunteers get dinner, a staff t-shirt, and a patch. Oct 20th is the suggested date as the other overlaps our Oct camp out. More info: http://www.danbeard.org/spookoree , click “Be on staff”. Scouts need to provide there own transportation.
Camp Conservation Day
Help maintain and improve Camp Freidlander. On Nov 10th is camp conservation day. Help plant trees, remove honeysuckle, etc. The event runs from 9am – 2pm and they provide lunch. The Troop will meet at MSPC at 8:15am and drive to Camp Friedlander and return around 2:30pm. This project counts as conservation hours.
Philmont 2017 – 50 miler award
Philmont crews from 2017, you have one last award you can complete. You have most of the 50 miler award done. All that’s left is to finish the conservation hours requirement. If you attend all of Camp Conservation day on Nov 10th you will complete the required hours.
