Super Job selling peanuts

Super Job at West End Fair - We sold over 15 bags of peanuts this year! Thursday night was the best ever attendance for the fair with the Christian concert. Great job by all that went out to sell peanuts and raise funds for your future camping trips.

Help our First Responders Sign up today

Our Troop can help our First Responders with training for disasters - They need "victims" for August 19th at Evan Hospital. Gathering time is 7:30-8:00am. Wear old clothes and your bathing suit underneath. Lunch will be provided and will end shortly after lunch. A sign up genius has been sent out for this. Check your email. Would like to give the First Responder trainers an idea on how many of our scouts can help with this on Tuesday 8/12.

This is a great way to help our First Responders be ready for disasters. You can only learn so much in the classroom. Conducting a drill is the best way to put into practice what you learn in the classroom.

This help fulfills Emergency Preparedness merit badge requirement #7
Take part in an emergency service project, either a real one or a practice drill, with a Scouting unit or a community agency.

Check your email for the sign up.

Troop Merit Badge Books and Gear

If you have any merit badge books from summer camp or any other troop gear, make sure to bring them to the meeting on Monday. Our troop librarian can restock the library and our quartermaster can get the gear secured.
