Here we are at the end of January and oh look, more snow. We have a lot of good things coming up in February including a return to in person meetings. As the spring creeps closer by the day our ability to do more and hold in person meetings becomes greater and greater.
This Saturday we will be hosting our snowball siege day at Langum park. In addition to some mindless snowball throwing fun we will also be going over Winter camping techniques, knots and lashings and anything else we can squeeze into a few hours. We are expected to have a few guests from pack 260. Depending on who attends we have the ability to make sure everyone can get at least something done. First year second year or older scout come on out.
I would like to thank everyone who came out to help with pack 260's scavenger hunt on Saturday. Even though the majority of the groups there on Saturday didn't need a lot of help, those who did went to the boys from our troop. There were a few familiar faces in the crowd. (You just had to think for a minute and try to remember what their eyes looked like before calling out to them).
Going into the rest of Winter and early Spring the leadership of the troop will be trying to put together at least 2 events / day outings for the boys to take part in during February and March. As we get closer to Spring and the sunlight is with us longer I hope to go back to full in-person meetings whenever possible. Coming in February we have been given the green light to go back over to The Station (the Wasco community center) for our meetings. We will continue a hybrid course schedule into the Spring either on-line, in person or a mixture of the two, whatever the situation dictates.
Monday meeting 1 - 25
This Monday we will be going over the entrepreneurship merit badge and a few 1st class requirements.
Day outing 1 - 30 Snowball siege catapults.
With fingers crossed I hope to be able to host what I am calling the snowball siege. The boys will be able to build prefabricated catapult's and play a combo game of battleship and 500. I should have final details up on the website on Wednesday and hopefully this will all kick off around one o'clock this coming Saturday. If for whatever reason the weather is inclement we will reschedule for the next available day.
