I am sure that many of you are making the last preparations before school starts on Tuesday, and I suspect that some of you may be a little sad that the summer is ending, however, I also hope that you are excited – the beginning of the school year brings new classes, new teachers and old friends!
We are planning for in-person meetings Monday night, starting with the Patrol Leaders Council at 6:30PM and then our Normal Troop meeting at 7:30 PM. Right now, there is a 30% chance of rain, so like always, we will play it by ear and see if we can make it work. If it looks bad, then we will cancel, so please check your email before you head to the meeting.
Despite the rain last week, we were able to have our Board of Reviews (thank you all who participated by zoom) and we have four new rank advancements to award. Congratulations to all who made the next rank.
