And they are off
Seven scouts and three adults from the Troop are off this Monday for a backpacking trip of a lifetime to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Keep them in your thoughts an prayers for a safe journey while they are on this trip. They will return on Monday August 7th. Our next regular Troop meeting will be August 14th, but see the note below.
First Class Trail
The scouts working on their trial to first class, especially those who were first years at camp did a lot of work at camp, but did not get tested on it and have it signed off in their book. Seeing between July 24- August 7 we have a part of our Troop at Philmont, and we do not have regular meetings scheduled, we are going to take THIS Monday July 24th and make it an Advancement Night for our younger scouts to work on advancement, focused on worked from new scout to First Class. If you are a First year, this is a great time to get a lot of the skills you may have learned signed off or even learn them if you were not at camp. We will meet at CBTL 436 Four Mile Rd from 6:30 to 8 PM. If we have a great turn out for this day, we may schedule another date this summer.
This is all for this week. if you want to follow what the Philmont Scouts are doing, here is their daily itinerary you can follow.
Thanks
Mr. F.
