Scoutmaster Campbell has to go to Pennsylvania on an unexpected trip tomorrow (August 9), and other Troop leaders are on vacation, so tomorrow’s Troop meeting has been canceled.

Nick Stevenson’s 21st birthday party will be on Sunday August 15 at 1:00 pm. It will be at McCormick Park and there will be hot dogs, root beer, baseball, and more! Come if you know Nick and have some fun! No gifts, please.

The Troop website will be experiencing downtime for some scheduled maintenance and upgrades on the weekend of July 17 and 18. The site should be up and running again the following Monday.

There is an opportunity for Scouts to earn some serious service hours tomorrow. Volunteers are needed for the 2010 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. More details are available in this document.

All of the material for Northwoods 2010 can be accessed on the newly updated Northwoods page.

Tomorrow (Monday, February 1st) is the last Troop meeting before the next Court of Honor. Scouts should call Scoutmaster Campbell (655-3297) to schedule a Scoutmaster Conference and Mrs. Butcher (655-1395) to schedule a Board of Review if they wish to make a rank advancement at this Court of Honor. It is also the last day to turn in blue cards in order to receive merit badges at this Court of Honor.

It has long been a tradition for the Troop to support the Food Bank through donations; the Troop is currently planning to donate paper products. If any scouters are inclined to help to the Troop continue this tradition and support the Food Bank, please bring what you can to the Troop meeting on December 14.

There are a few exciting Troop events coming up in December. The Ojibwas District Lock-in is on December 4 at the Westside YMCA (follow the link for details). For the lock-in, signed waivers are required if a scout wishes to participate in rock climbing or roller skating. The waivers can be found on the resources page. The light parade is on December 5; float building sessions are November 28 at 12:00 and December 4 at 5:00, and more may be scheduled as needed. The USS Silversides overnight is on December 18.

The materials presented at the Troop meeting, the Northwoods Counselor in Training application and BSA Rank Requirement changes, are available for download from the Resources page.
