In Person Meeting 7:00 to 8:30
We were going to switch to zoom in November but the weather is just too darn nice!
This week – Camp Cooking Challenge (Iron Chef Style)!!
I will bring a number of backpacking ingredients to the troop meeting and Scouts will do their best to create a delicacy! We’ll have gloves, masks (as always), and observe strict protocol for the judges. The winner gets to hold the Golden Chalice of Baden-Powell.
Dues are Due!
2021 dues are due. As a reminder, the troop pays all dues for recharter (we are undergoing right now), which means if you don’t pay your Scout’s dues, then you will have to re-apply next year (which is a HUGE pain). Mr. Van Goetham will send a separate email.
We never want the ability to pay dues to stand in the way of the Scouting experience. If you would like a scholarship, please contact me or any Adult Leader directly and we’ll take care of it!
Wreath Sales
LAST CHANCE – forms are due tomorrow!. Support your troop! Win fabulous prizes (Ok there is one prize). Win bragging rights for most wreaths sold!
Prince William Forest Park – Orienteering – November 13-15
See the email from Mr. Jahns. It’s close to home and a great place to get away for the weekend. Last chance to sign up is tomorrow!
Small Group Camping – December 4-6
Although we don’t do a Troop outing in December, the first years are planning a limited-numbers trip to Gore VA from December 4-6. They would like a couple of older scouts to come with them if you have the weekend free! It’s a bit farther away – 2.5 hours. If you are interested please contact Mr.
Scouting for Food
Sorry about the cancellation – we are on our own this year. More to come with the rescheduled date.
