S.M.S for 10 - 18

Posted by swolfgram on Oct 18 2020 - 8:10pm
Good evening everyone 
 

One of the oldest sayings is that "it's as easy as riding a bicycle all you've got to do is hop on and petal".  Well I'm here to tell you that that adage is incorrect.  In preparation for our bike trip on Saturday morning I tested out my bicycle just to make sure that I still knew how to ride.  I had not been on a bicycle for about a decade.  It was a rather harrowing experience.  I bounced off the recycle bin and almost plowed into the oak tree.  I would respectfully ask the guy that came up with that saying to go take a hike, because he's obviously never ridden a bicycle.

S.M.S. for 10 - 11

Posted by swolfgram on Oct 11 2020 - 9:27pm

Good evening everyone

It's time to play the music, It's time to light the lights, It's time to read my message in the S.M.S tonight.  There're things you probably didn't know, There're things I know you've never seen, so come on read this message and discover them with me.  Please read on to the end,  I promise it's not long,  And now that's the end of this silly starter song.
 
If you're asking why I did the opening to the theme of The Muppet Show the easiest answer is... I wanted to...so 
 
Let's get to it.
 
 
2nd Monday P.L.C. and Special meeting
 
This Monday we will be holding a Patrol Leaders Council (P.L.C) and Troop Meeting (T.M) at our new fall meeting location.  Everyone is invited to attend both meetings no matter who you are. Please come and participate.  The Campton Hills Community center is located at
 
5N082 Old Lafox Rd, St. Charles, IL 60175
 
As usual our P.L.C will begin at 6:00 and the T.M will begin almost right after that.  This Monday we will be specifically talking about our upcoming bike hike in central Wisconsin.  We need more people to sign up or give their regrets on this camp out.  We need a minimum 3 scouts to sign up for the camp-out. 
All information will be at the meeting Monday night.
 
A message from the C.C - J.P. ( if you didn't see it yet)

We'll be skipping this month's formal committee meeting as I'll be having knee replacement surgery on Monday 10/12.  If anyone has any topics for discussion other than what we have planned for October, please let me know...

S.M.S. for 10 - 4

Posted by swolfgram on Oct 4 2020 - 8:32pm

Good evening everyone 

 
Indoor meetings are upon us once again and with it comes our new meeting schedule, locations and dress code. From now until next May our dress code is once again class-A with a good pair of pants.  Please refrain from wearing athletic pants or sweats while wearing the class-A shirt.   Going forward we will be meeting at the Campton Hills Community Center located at
5N082 Old Lafox Rd, St. Charles, IL 60175.  We will be putting together a few field meetings as well over the next few weeks to keep things fresh and everyone on their toes. 
 
Monday meeting 10 - 5

This Monday we have a very special field meeting at the LeRoy Oaks nature center starting at 6p - 7:15p.  This is an after hours tour of the nature center and something we have never done in the context of a meeting before.  The nature center is the first main building you come across when entering the forest preserve.  If you have never been there before follow the road into the forest preserve and follow the signs. The nature center will be on your left hand side.  This will (hopefully) be the last early meeting for a while, excluding the P.L.C's.

S.M.S. for 9 - 27

Posted by swolfgram on Sep 28 2020 - 10:19am

Good evening everyone 

 
It's almost the end of September and in this month alone we have done a whole heck of a lot of things.  We have a lot more coming up as the weeks go on.
Stay tuned and don't get lazy.  There is so much more just around the corner
 
Gratitude 

I want to thank everyone that helped Brock out over these past few weeks getting his Eagle project completed.  The weather was excellent.   Which made the whole experience very easy.  From conception to completion the project was roughly a month.  In the 20 years that I have been helping on Eagle projects this was probably the fastest turnaround time that I can remember.
