Saturday, December 18th we will be camping in Tim's Scout World at Pinnacle Church (down the hill from the church, by the river). The plan is to arrive at 9:00am at Pinnacle Church. Eat breakfast BEFORE arriving. Bring a bag lunch for Saturday's lunch. Dinner Saturday night and breakfast Sunday morning will be provided for you.
On Thursday, December 2nd our Troop joined with Pack 326 and the North Canton Fire Department in the Canton Christmas Parade. The Cub Scouts got to ride on top of one of the big trucks and the Boy Scouts formed an honor guard walking behind them with the American flag and our troop flag. It was a little chilly but a lot of fun. We would like to say thank you to the men and women of the North Canton Fire Department for making this extra special.
In the month of December we will be working on the Pathfinding Merit Badge. For those who are looking to get a head start on next month's Historic Merit Badge, use the link below to view to the requirements for this merit badge.
For the month of November, we will be working on the Carpentry Merit Badge. This is one of four historic merit badges that will only be available this year in honor of the 1ooth anniversary of Scouting. Time is running out. If you don't earn it now, you probably will not get another chance. You can use the link below to check out the requirements and get a head start on earning this historic merit badge.
OUR NOVEMBER EVENT will be camping at Harmon Den on Friday night November 5th, followed up by a hike up to Max Patch with the Cub Scouts of Pack 326 on Saturday the 6th. We will be meeting at Pinnacle Church at 4:00pm on Friday. There is a possibility of scattered snow showers during this outing, so DRESS WARMLY in layers. We will stop at McDonalds to eat dinner on the way out so make sure you have money with you. We are expecting to return to Pinnacle by 4:00pm on Saturday. You will need to bring the following:
This past weekend we camped on our chartered organizations property. We had a great time and the boys functioned well as patrols. Our yearly planning went well although we didn't get as much done as I had hoped. We did, however, manage to plan our outings for the next 12 months and with a little more work we will be ready to present our plan to the troop committee for approval. The first night was clear and the full moon made the use of flashlights almost unnecessary. After dark the temperature dropped quickly and it was rather cold on Saturday morning. The boys were up around 5am and working on getting their fires restarted. I was glad to join them when I finally got up around 7. The second night wasn't nearly as cold and I had to wake the boys after I woke up. I guess they were tired from all the activity the previous day. I am including several pictures of the weekends activities.
Our next outing is scheduled for October 22-24 on the Pinnacle Church campus. We will be camping as patrols on the banks of the Pigeon river. Scouts will be working on advancement requirements as well as fishing and working on some projects around our scout hut. Our patrol leaders council will be conducting their yearly planning conference.
