BSA Handbook

  The BSA Handbook is one of the most valuable resources you have as a Scout. Unfortunately, it is left lying on the bookshelf most of the time. This past Monday night we played a game that drew on your knowledge of scout facts found primarily in your handbook. While both teams did pretty good during the game, there were a lot of questions that went unanswered. It is apparent to me that we don't read the handbook enough. I hope that every scout has a handbook but if you don't please let me know and we will get you one.

Also, with some of the plans we have over the next couple of months, you need to bring you book to every meeting. (I hate that I even have to say this as we should always bring our handbooks to the meetings). We will be starting Troop Leadership Training this coming week and those who are not participating in the TLT will be working on specific scout skills needed for advancement.

Please try to be at every meeting that you can. I know that summer is a busy time but it is also a great time to complete the outdoor skills training that is so important to every scout!
