Meeting This Wednesday and other Announcements

The Wednesday Activity for scouts will involve the Personal Management Merit Badge. We will begin this merit badge on Wednesday. The merit badge requires the scout to keep track of their finances for three straight months, we wanted to let you know so that you all could assist your scouts in this. It is a required merit badge for the eagle scout award and we will be working hard over the next few months to get as many of the boys this merit badge as possible.

On Wednesday we will also be choosing the merit badges that the scouts will be doing for the upcoming LDS Merit Badge clinic on the 30th of October. I have included a list of the merit badges and would encourage you to look over the list with your scout(s) and choose ones that would be of interest to them and would help them in their quest to eagle scouts. I might suggest that you take special consideration to the Pathfinding and Tracking merit badges. They are a special part of the 100 year celebration of the Boy Scouts and will only be available until the end of 2010 and then will go back into retirement. This is really a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Finally, we will be having a special "service project" activity on Wednesday the 13th of October. We will be making and serving dinner to the young women of the ward. We wanted to make sure that ALL young women of the ward came, including of course the mothers of the boys in the troop. The boys were very specific about this and wanted their mothers to come so that they could serve them and clean up after them. (I am not making this up.)

Please clear your schedules so that you will be able to attend. We will be serving dinner around 7:30 on the 13th of October.

MENU is TBA!
