Come venture into the dark and go spelunking with troop one at Maquoketa Caves State Park. We will be staying at Bellevue State Park, 24668 US-52, Bellevue, IA 52031. 

There were a few things that we didn't get to do last time we were out at the caves in 2019. With the weather looking a little bit better we hope to slip in a few extra places that you have probably never seen before. It is going to be a pleasant weekend. 

 

This will be an open invitation camp-out. If you know anyone that is interested in scouting, ask them to come along.

 

 

Recruiting New Members 

If you have a family member, a friend, an acquaintance, a Cub Scout crossover or someone transferring 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.

9am at Vet center for set up, 3pm for clean up for the day’s events. Includes 12pm ceremony at the Freedom Shrine, and a Freedom Walk.  This all counts for service hours so get them while you can. 

 

 

Recruiting New Members 

If you have a family member, a friend, an acquaintance, a Cub Scout crossover, or someone wishing to join you as a transferr 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.

What is an agenda and why do we need one for a campout? How do you make one and how do you keep to it? 

One of the most important things on a trip is a plan. If you have one the trip is a lot less likely to fail. Having a backup plan is 

also an important part of the details. Let's make a few plans and war-game what could happen. 

 

We are already one week in and summer is already going fast. Our westward trip is only a week away, summer camp is not too far after that and before you know it it's back to school and into the fall. 

 

Let's see what we are doing this week. 

Need to pay the troop for something or get paid for something? We have a Zelle for that. @TRP1TREASURER

I would like to thank everyone that was able to come to the reboot of the electronic gaming camp out.  Because we had to effectively place last year's camp-out on haitis we didn't know what was going to happen.  I am very glad to say that in the end it was a successful reboot and sets a good tone for the new year.  There is a lot to discuss regarding the coming weeks so ....

 

Let's Get Going

 

(Enter the church at the Cedar street door.  When you enter the church go down the hall, down the stairs, down the hall take a right, down the stairs and enter the hall).

Just as in years past we will be helping the Cub Scouts at the flipping for fun station at Winterall.  The younger scouts will make a pancake, put it on a plate and toss it to a partner hoping they can catch it.  We will then gauge the distance and give the team a score.  Grading is from one to ten with a secret 11th point for great scout spirit.  During the day Troop One scout's can, if they wish, form a team and participate in the games.  If you would like to build a group and compete we will be going over it the next few Monday's

 

 

 

 

As most of you know Joyce and Dave are wanting to move on at the end of 2022. Both of Joyce's son's have finished scouts and by the end of summer Dave's son's will have done the same. Typically key three leadership holds a three year term in troop one. That is one of the ways we can have a stable leadership pyramid. We are looking for a Committee chair understudy and a Treasurer understudy. During the course of the year you will be learning the ropes from Joyce and Dave on an almost month by month basis. Having the ability to see what they do and be trained by them in a practical manner. This, as stated above is a three year commitment and you would take over for either Committee chair or Treasure officially on 1/01/2023. If you are interested or would be willing to learn more please come to a meeting or talk to Joyce and Dave directly. These positions are open to any and all that want to work with them. The only requirement is that you MUST be a registered and a trained leader by 1/01/2023 to qualify.

 

 

For the longest time troop one has only had a private group page on Facebook. Now with the start of 2022 We finally have a public page that your friends, family or other potential scouts can see without needing an invite. If you have pictures from any of our events please share with the group and let's show off what we are doing in the new year. An Instagram account will be following in the next few months.

 

The cost per registered scout is 132.00 and the cost per Leader is 69.00. If there are any scouts out there that still have not paid for the 2022 season please contact Dave K and set up a payment plan with the troop.

We all know that these are not the best of times especially where finances are concerned. If any of our members need help with the cost of recharter please reach out to me (Stevan) and let me know. 

 

As everyone knows this is recruitment season. If you have a family member, a friend, an acquaintance or someone from another troop that may be looking to transfer then this is the time of year to do it. 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 anyone that could potentially be interested in joining, please have them come to a meeting or outing.

 

I hope everyone had a good weekend.  It was one of the rare occasions that we didn't have any scout stuff going on.  That of course is about to change.  Our entire month of February and the first half of March is filled with more goodies than you can shake a stick at.  Let's poke winter in the eye and let it know we are still active.

 

Just as in years past we will be helping the Cub Scouts at the flipping for fun station at Winterall.  The younger scouts will make a pancake, put it on a plate and toss it to a partner hoping they can catch it.  We will then gauge the distance and give the team a score.  Grading is from one to ten with a secret 11th point for great scout spirit. 

 

This is the last chance to get a slot locked in.  If you are wanting to take a few badges before they are all gone please contact Mrs. Romano at andie.romano@gmail.com or at 630-485-9908
