*I apologize for the error made on the previous post. The Harper's Ferry trip was shown as Rausch Gap. This has been changed back. Sorry for any confusion created.

Tonight's Meeting

This week's troop meeting began with our monthly PLC. After discussions last week with the entire troop we have decided to rearrange the patrols for a variety of reasons. The primary reason for this change is to promote more scout spirit and interaction between scouts. It is believed that rearranging patrols will create new friendships, methods, and spirit in the troop. Scouts have already been randomly rearranged into new patrols. These patrols will be announced at the next meeting on 10/13. We will continue to meet with current patrols until the troop elections.

A few date changes have been made:
  • Troop Elections- November 17th/24th
  • Rock Climbing at Reading Rocks- November 28th
Other important dates:
  • Harper's Ferry- Oct. 10th-12th
  • Shotgun Shoot- Oct. 20th/Nov. 3rd (Those not shooting can carve pumpkins at the OYB)
  • Hay Ride- Oct. 27th
  • PLC Meeting- Nov. 3rd
  • Setup Scouting for Food- Nov. 10th
  • Collect Scouting for Food- Nov. 15th
  • Serranova- Dec. 5th-7th
