MLK Day of Service Project: Trail Cleanup and Pruning 1/21/19Meet at 10:30AM on Monday January 21 in the Regal Cinemas parking lot at Potomac Yard (reservoir side of the lot). Every Scout should bring a pruner if he has one and a garbage bag. E-mail Mrs. Greiner at 58donahue@cua.edu so she knows whom to expect (and so that she can make cocoa and get donuts for everyone). Project should last no more that 2 hours. Pickup location in the same parking lot.

Service Opportunities
If you have any service opportunities you think would be good for our Scouts, please contact Mrs. Greiner, our Service Coordinator at 58donahue@cua.edu.————–
Notes from the Senior Patrol Leader:
– BRING YOUR COATS! It is winter, it’s cold, we go outside for activities. Be Prepared.
– PATROL LEADERS – It is your responsibility to touch base with your Patrols and be sure that they are paying attention to the Skills Training and working on their Advancement
– CELL PHONE USAGE – Not in the troop meetings, except with very few exceptions when they are being used for advancement or merit badges.
– Uniforms and Opening/Closing Ceremonies – wear your Field Uniforms and line up properly for the ceremonies.
– BRING YOUR SCOUTBOOKS TO THE MEETINGS! Opportunities for Advancement are being wasted just because Scouts don’t remember their books.
