If you were already "volunteered" to bring dessert, noodles or sause you do NOT have to also supply #2 above (and Thanks!).

We will have our Court of Awards and a Friends of Scouting Presentation that night.  We should be done by 8:00.  If you are in the Orchestra Concert, we understand and will miss you!

The Attached .pdf document will answer a lot of questions about the troop that I'll bet you never knew you had.  You can find a lot more information in the Troop Operations Manual that can be found on the Patrols page.  If you are at all interested in the troop, this is the place to start.

Caleb K.   Congrats on your election Caleb.  Once Driver's Ed is out of the way you will have your plate full until summer camp.  Any Scout wishing a troop leadership position should contact Caleb, who will try to fill most position by the Court of Awards on February 15th.
