The July 15th meeting will include updates and reports from Summer Camp.

Please take note of the Troop Meeting Plan posted in the “Hot Downloads” section on the right.

We are back in the gym now. We will be meeting at 7:00pm. This should be effective thru October.

TOW (Troop Organizational Weekend ) is an over night-er in Aug. and Mini-TOW is a one day Feb. event. This year Mini-TOW is Feb. 9th. We will be passing out SFF (Scouting For Food) bags, OA elections, Calendar scheduling, etc. We want to have as many of the 42 scouts on our charter there as possible. The PS (permission slips) went home with the scout’s at last Tuesday’s troop meeting. Please have your son complete the form and return it by the due date. We are looking forward to setting up some fun events for the upcoming months. So parent(s), please join us in providing a fun and exciting year for our scouts.

Our January Camp Out is the Cherokee Climbing/Repelling Tower. Please note that the previous permission slip had incorrect dates for the climbing camp-out. The correct dates are Jan. 18th-20th. An updated permission slip has been posted with the correct dates. Download it under the hot links section to the right, or click here.

On Saturday, December 15th we will hold a multi-event day starting with bowling and ending with our annual Christmas Caroling event at area nursing homes. Between these two events will be lunch at CiCi’s Pizza. Please note that in order to bowl a scout MUST participate in the caroling afterwards.

The Council Service Center is a great place to pick up forms as well as turn in completed forms and monies. We have been told that anything you can do down at the Council office related to scout paperwork you can do at the Collin County Service Center.

I know the staff of both the Scout Shop and the Service Center are anxious to have you stop in and say hello!
