S.M.S for 1-15-23

Posted by swolfgram on Jan 15 2023 - 11:10pm
Good evening everyone
 
I want to thank everyone that came on our weekend outings and made this weekend enjoyable.  When you can't go skiing because of no snow what do you do?  You go out to the M.S.I and do some Winterall drills that's what you do.  If and or when plan A and B go out the door you always go to plan C, D or E and make it work. (just not Q)
We got some good stuff coming up this week and next so let's see whats in the carpet bag this evening.

2023 Operation Cubscicle
Jan 21st, 9a - 4p
Camp Big Timber 37W955 Big Timber Rd, Elgin, IL 60124
Troop 1 has officially been asked to provide leadership (of the youth kind) to help this super fun annual tradition of Cub Scouts in Winter!  We may be manning the wrist rocket station.  We have been given that one for the past few years so chances are good we are getting that one again.
 
Winterall Scout Competition
Feb 4th, 8a - 4p
Camp Big Timber 37W955 Big Timber Rd, Elgin, IL 60124
for the first time in a long while we will be competing in this year's Winterall competition. They will be tested on their skills as scouts and see how much they truly know.  A select group of scouts with the guts to put it all on the line will test their knowledge and see how much they know about outdoor skills.
 
Recruiting New Members 
If you have a family member, a friend, an acquaintance, a Cub Scout, or someone wishing to join you as a transfer from another troop please let us know.  We all know that the only way for the troop to survive is for more people to join over the long run. If you know of anyone that could potentially be interested in joining, please have them come to a meeting, outing, camp-out or just for a visit.
 
Service with a purpose:
Casey’s Safe Haven
8N005 IL Rte 47, Maple Park, IL 60151
Casey’s Safe Haven is a 501(c)3 non-profit holistic equine rescue dedicated to healing horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules in need. We will accept equines from animal control facilities, pony ride facilities, horses being retired from lesson programs, police force, and the race track. We also accept healthy animals donated by loving owners that for reasons beyond their control can no longer provide care. Our mission is to be a part of the solution by educating the public on the responsibilities and proper care of each equine so they receive the respect and dignity they deserve as living beings.
 
News Around Town
Nothing new for this week.  If you know of anything going on in the tri-city area please let us know so we can talk about it. 
 

In closing

weekend update

Posted by swolfgram on Jan 10 2023 - 7:39pm
Hi everyone
 
We wanted to update everyone as to this weekend's plans.  At last night's meeting the boys decided to alter this month's outing.  Because there's no snow, a ski trip at this time would not be practical.  The boys voted last night to convert the camp-out into a day trip to the Museum of Science and Industry.  We have already altered the listing on the website to account for this change.
 
We would be driving to the museum instead of taking the train.  Hiking to the museum from O.T.C would be not practical at this time as it would be a three hour one way hike.  We will be leaving at 8a on Saturday from the Kane county clerk's office (540 S Randall Rd, St. Charles, IL 60174) and returning that evening around 6ish.

Please let me know if you can make it or not.  We need drivers   Go to the website and sign up.
