At the NEXT MEETING on June 2nd, we will be having Troop Elections for positions to be held by our Scouters for the next 6 months. Take a look at what positions are available at: http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Positions_of_responsibility

Let the current SPL (James Leavy) know what position you might be interested in.  It is important for you to take a position within the Troop, so look at the positions and think of one or two you might want to try doing.

Special Note: 

NO MEETING PLANNED FOR 5/26 -- MEMORIAL DAY.  Enjoy the holiday with your family.

The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May, was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.  Take time to remember those who have lost their lives serving in our Military.

6/2/14 -- CLASS B's are Permitted from Memorial Day to Labor Day!
If you need to purchase a Class B T-Shirt, Steve Everson has them in the Troop Room for $7 each.  No Class A's are required, unless otherwise announced.

Chess Merit Badge -- The next meeting for the Chess Merit Badge!  BRING YOUR CHESS SETS!

Troop Elections -- At this meeting, we will do Troop Elections for positions to be held by our Scouters for the next 6 months.  Take a look at what positions are available at:  http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Positions_of_responsibility
Let your current SPL know what position you might be interested in.
