Some updates for the week and a few things to look forward to.

As most of you already know over the past few months Mr. Griswold has been telling us that he will be moving to Germany for a few years.  This past weekend he arrived safely in Dusseldorf for the next chapter in his employment with Aldi and will be there for the foreseeable future.  From time to time he will be back home for a visit.  You can still catch him periodically on our Facebook and Discord pages.  Don't be afraid to drop him a line of encouragement every now and then.  He may not be able to get back to you immediately but will always find time if you have a question for him.  

 

Good luck Ryan and always remember

I hope that everyone is refreshed and recovered from our summer camp trip and is ready to get back to work.  Over the next few weeks we will have a lot of activities to participate in and fun things to do.  We have merit badges to finish up, a court of honor to hold and many plans to make.  Your first opportunity to finish something up comes as soon as Monday night.

For anyone still working on the aviation merit badge you will be able to finish that up at Monday's meeting. As of right now unless plans change I have a pilot coming in and he will be able to finish off the badge with you people.   We will also be discussing what we will be doing in August and how we will start off our recruitment season at the beginning of the month.  This coming fall is a major time for our troop. If you know anyone that could benefit from participating with our troop please don't hesitate to invite them.

Seeing as we have just come off of our biggest event of the year we need to fill in some of the gaps for August.  We will need to fit in a date for an event or camp out and a summer court of honor which is usually held the last two weeks of the month.   Originally we were going to go out to Galena and participate in Grants' Pilgrimage.  If there are enough people who would like to go and want to do a camp-out, we can still make arrangements for camping or we can just turn it into a day outing.  We can do something completely different if taking it easy for August is what everybody wants.   I also have a few other ideas in the works which if they come to pass, may be beneficial and could rack up another badge or two.

 

This week we have a boat load of info to go over.  Summer Camp is coming up fast and I want to make sure everyone is starting to get ready. 

 

Updated camp info

We have a 3:00p camp check in time on Sunday the 11th.

We will need to depart from the clerk's office about 11:00a to be able to stop for lunch and arrive with time to spare.
