Wednesday Activity 1 December 2010

This week we will be having an joint activity with the Young Women this week and we are excited to announce that we will be ICE SKATING. We will be leaving the Church at 7PM. The cost is $3/per person for skate rental. Everyone should bring thick socks, gloves, and a hat. It should be an very fun, exciting activity.

If you have any questions or concerns please give us a call or shoot us an email.

See you there!

No Activities For this Week

Due to Thanksgiving and a series of circumstances beyond our control we will NOT be having Scout Activities on Wednesday and we will be NOT having our scheduled campout this weekend as well.

Thanks.

Saturday Update

In order to help those young people who have a harder time getting out of bed than others we will be teaming up with the Ward's Young Women and having breakfast before the special-for-youth-only meeting with Elder Bednar. This should be a really wonderful experience that definitely doesn't come around every day.

Here is the schedule

We will be meeting at the Church at 8:00 AM to have breakfast beforehand.

9-11 AM will be the meeting with Elder Bednar.

Thanks for all your support and I hope that we can see everyone there. (Remember parents are welcome to come if the will sit in the back of the chapel) It will prove to be a very uplifting and enjoyable experience.

If your son needs a ride let us know as soon as possible and we will make sure that it happens.

Troop 222 Week's Activites - 17 November 2010

As many of you are well aware we have a special week coming up. We will be having a visit from an Apostle--Elder David Bednar. As a result we will be having most of our week's activities revolve around this special visit.

Tonight for the Young Men's Activity:

We will be setting up chairs and preparing the church with the other wards who use our building for the visit. We will meet at the usual time of 7:00 PM and will be done around 8:20 PM.

Saturday:

9 AM - 11 AM -- A special fireside for the youth will take place at the Stake Center. The boys are asked to be there, in Sunday best. Parents and leaders are encouraged to attend but will be asked to sit at the back of the chapel (allowing youth to sit at the front together) and limit their participation, as to enable the young people from interacting with Elder Bednar as much as possible.

If anyone needs a ride for this please contact one of us.

Sunday:

10-12 -- Stake Conference at the stake center. It is expected there will be a large number attending. Please plan accordingly.

Finally:

The day after Thanksgiving the 26th of November to the 27th will be our November Camp-out. We will be meeting at the church. Time: TBD

Quick Reminder: Court of Honor

Just a reminder to all scouts and parents, there is a court of honor this coming Wednesday, the 10th of November. The meeting will take place in the Relief Society Room on the East Side of the building.

This court of honor was planned by the boys themselves and should be a good one. The boys will be getting all of the awards that they earned from the summer scout camp that they attended as well as a the recent Merit Badge Clinic that happened just a few weeks ago.

We would ask that the boys arrive EARLY (about 15-20 minutes) to help us set up and prepare for the meeting, that should be really special. Remember all Scouts should wear their Scout Uniform. (If there is a problem with this please give us a call or send us an email.)

See you all there.

Wednesday November 3rd

Congratulations to the 7 scouts who made it to the merit badge clinic on Saturday, per Tim Fulton this was a very successful event, boys earning 2-3 merit badges for their efforts.

We will have scout activities this Wednesday (including board of reviews and finishing advancement tasks for the upcoming court of honor). If the boys have a scout uniform it is important that they wear it this Wednesday.

Parents, the following Wednesday (Nov. 10) we will have our scout court of honor, and we REALLY need your support for this event. The court of honor will begin shortly after 7 PM that evening.

Also, just a reminder about the upcoming campout on November 26 and 27.

Thank you and best wishes. Tim
