October Camping at Pinnacle and Apple Festival

Every year about this time, we role out the troop's calendar for the upcoming twelve months. To make that happen we have a weekend long planning session that involves multiple Patrol Leader's Councils and Patrol Meetings so that the boys can hammer out fun activities and campouts that they will get the most out of. We also managed to squeeze a fundraiser and a couple of service prjects as well. Great work guys!

September Camping

We will be camping this weekend on Pinnacle Church property. If you are uncertain about what you will need to bring, contact your patrol leader. We spent time on Monday planning meals and getting prepared for the event. This will also be an opportunity for us to do a fund raiser by helping out at the Apple Festival. Be sure to bring you class "A" uniform. We will be wearing them during our work at the festival and again on Sunday morning when we attend church at Pinnacle. Be sure to invite your parents to join us for Church.

Court of Honor

Our September Court of Honor was great. We had numerous merit badges, awards, and rank advancements to give out. The event was well attended and we had a great time. Thanks to everyone who was able to attend. Just a reminder that our Court of Honor events are an opportunity to show your parents and other family and friends what you have been up to, so be sure to invite them. Our next COH will be in December and we will celebrate Christmas as well. I am posting some pictures for your pleasure.

Court of Honor

Don't forget that Court of Honor is tonight. Everyone wear your class "A" uniforms. We have a lot of advancements and merit badges to award plus some other awards. Hope to see everyone there. Also, don't forget to bring you parents.

See you tonight!

Committee Meeting

Because of the Holiday on Monday, the Troop Committee Meeting has been postponed till Monday the 12th. Please be sure to attend this meeting as we need to discuss popcorn sales, recharter, and other issues. Our next Court of Honor is coming up and we have a tremendous amount of work to do to get ready. We will be presenting all the merit badges and advancements that the boys have completed since summer camp. There are also some special awards that we need to present. Hope to see you on the 12th.

Summer Camp

I sure did hate that I had to miss the majority of Summer Camp with the troop. Life just sometimes has a way of changing the best made plans. I would like to thank everyone who stepped up to make this years camp a huge success. I don't have a final count but the troop earned many merit badges and several scouts made significant progress toward advancement. Our next court of honor will be huge. We also had a couple of scouters become BSA lifeguards. Congratulations, guys! This should make our water related outings much safer. I am posting just a few pictures of what the boys did at camp. Enjoy!

Long, busy Summer

Well, it's been a busy summer and we have not made a lot of posts to the blog but now that things are starting to settle back into a routine, we'll try to do better. Over the next couple of days - maybe weeks - I'll try to post some pictures of what we have been up to this summer and get everyone caught up on whats in store over the next few months. Hope everyone had a great summer and are ready to return to school.

Don't forget to tell you friends what we've been up to and invite them to join us! If you've had fun, don't you think your friends would too!!
