This Tuesday we will have our monthly planning meeting, the Patrol Leaders Council. Normally it would have been on last Tuesday but the Court of Honor was planned for that night. Is there something special you would like to see the Troop do? A special place you would like to go? Give the idea to your Patrol Leader and let him bring it up for discussion at the PLC.

What didn,t make the Eblast this week!

First and foremost, tonight is our Summer Court of Honor! Courts of Honor are family time for us – we encourage all of you to attend and celebrate the accomplishments of our Scouts. There is nothing sadder than to see a Scout called forward to be recognized for advancement (or whatever) and there not be a parent there to share in the experience! We will meet in the church sanctuary.
