Scouts & Parents -   We had a great campout this weekend (Garner St Park), next camp on the calendar is Enchanted Rock.  Lots to do . . . please plan well – that is par of “being prepared”!!

 

1.  Planning to move to Monday night meetings for 4 to 6 weeks starting Sept 27th.  I’m still taking feedback from parents.

 

2.  Oct 1 –3 ,  Enchanted Rock – this will be a pretty easy backback, great for young and new scouts.  This is only two weeks away.  There are (5) signed up, no adults other than myself.  I would like to know by this Tuesday (21st) who wants to go.

 

3. October Troop Court of Honor – With all the complicated schedules during the week, lets shoot for Saturday October 23rd at Southland Baptist at 10:00 am.

    Elections will be held on October 11th (Monday) during our regular meeting

 

4.  Roping Fiesta October 30th and 31st.  This is a fund raiser.  We typically work from 6 pm till around 9:00.  Scouts are paid into their scout account according to how many hours they work.

 

5. November 12 – 14  Weblos Woods,  All hands of deck for this campout.  If scouts are in town and available, we sure need the help.  This is a critical opportunity for recruiting.

 

6.  Speaking of Recruiting . . . if you have a scouting signs from last year, it is time to put them out again.  I will try and bring some new signs to the meeting on Tuesday.
