In lieu of our Troop Meeting, we will have a Court of Honor on May 6 at FBC. All Scouts and Parents are invited and encouraged to attend to honor your achievements! Although I am not able to be there as I am out of the country, I want all you scouts to know that I am proud of each and every one of you for all your accomplishments to in your activities, rank requirements, merit badges, and for just being Good Scouts!

High Adventure – Dolly Sods July 10-14
Our five-day four-night foray into the wild of West Virginia’s Dolly Sods trip is scheduled for July. The Dolly Sods crew’s next steps are locking in our participants ( that includes adults) and selecting our crew leader. This position is perfect for the scout who is looking for a leadership position that will challenge him and help him become an even better scout. You don’t have to do everything but you will have to delegate. Don’t hesitate to step up.
The route is set, and meal planning has started. Training hikes, gear preparation are the next step.
See Mr. Rodger and Mr. Guynn for more information.

Did you know that over 50% of Merit Badges are STEM-related? Mr. Steenstra (dan.steenstra@gmail.com) has found quite a few STEM opportunities coming up.
