Because of the crummy weather we will be meeting just via the zoom tonight. I was hoping that the snow would not persist into the evening but it looks pretty junky out there. Stay home and tune in at 6.
Thanks
Stevan

I hope that everyone is staying dry and warm with this week's past snow. Normally this time of year is only suitable for people wearing a lot of layers or a person related to the Yeti.
Monday meeting 2 - 8 P.L.C & C.M
Now that restrictions have eased up a bit we will be going back to live in person meetings hopefully on a regular basis. This week of course being the 2nd Monday of the month we will be having our Patrol Leaders Council and Committee Meeting over at The Station. (Campton Hills Community Center) If you have forgotten where it's located the address is.
5N082 Old Lafox Rd, St. Charles, IL 60175
Looking forward to seeing you.
For those of you who can't attend in person we will have the live stream running on our zoom channel. The PLC will begin at 6 o'clock or shortly thereafter. The committee meeting will begin at 7 o'clock or shortly thereafter.
Topics for each meeting may include but are not limited to
New positions in the troop
New fundraising possibilities
New meeting events and locations
Spring camping, when, where, how.
M.B.U
Do you feel like climbing the walls? Are you frostier than a snowman on his best days? Do you think watching 70's reruns is entertaining like I do? You need something to do on the last saturday of the month.
Well, have no fear! Merit Badge University is here and it is online.
It's possible to pick up two or three merit badges in a day and add to your sash bling (not to mention some great adds to your knowledge base)!
If you're interested, below are the links to M.B.U and the T.F.C info
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.
