From Ms. Deb
Troop 94 Committee Chair

Good morning Troop,
Just a reminder that this coming Monday is Board of Review for anyone in need for their rank advancement. Adults please plan on being present, in uniform, in case you are needed to help conduct the reviews. Boys will need to be in uniform with their books.

In case you haven't heard we are now 25 boys strong! Please be sure to give a warm welcome to our new boys and parents as this week will be their first official meeting.

February 26, 27 & 28 - TROOP 94'S ANNUAL HOCKING HILLS WEEKEND. Detailed information will be distributed at Monday's meeting. Cost will be $25/person and will need to be received by Thursday, February 11. The cutoff is due to the fact that if we need to cancel one of the cabins reserved we only have a limited amount of time to do so in order to get our money back. Drivers will be needed. I hope everyone will be able to attend.

Parents that have agreed to drive for trail drive, please bring your drivers license number and insurance information so I can complete our tour permit. Trail drive is Saturday's February 6, 20 and March 6.

Sunday, February 7 is Scout Sunday. Our church, First Christian Church, will be conducting a special service on the 7th and have requested to have our boys help with the ceremony. The service will begin at 10:30am. Please plan to arrive dressed in full uniform by 10:15am so we can get lined up and ready as we will be performing as the color guard.

February 7 is also our district's 100 Year of Scouting celebration. Please plan to come to Bellefontaine High School at 5pm. Tickets are $5 at the door or $4 if received by Friday, February 5th. The cost includes dinner, an event patch and the program. I hope everyone will plan to attend this historic event.

February 15, 7pm is our Troop Committee meeting. If you are interested in being more involved in the Troop please plan to attend.

February 22, Court of Honor. Please be sure to bring parents and extended family to this meeting. Anyone receiving rank advancements or merit badges will be recognized this evening. We will also have our Friends of Scouting presentation by Mrs. Woolf.
Have a great rest of the week and I hope to see all of you Monday night!

WELCOME NEW BOY SCOUTS

WOW!!!!!
There are no other words that came to mind then WOW as I stood watching the ceremony unfold last night as all 10 members of the Dragon Den crossed over into our Troop.
10 new Boy Scouts has propelled our group to nearly double and I can't wait to help the new Boy Scouts begin their journy do their trail. I'm sure it's been a while since there were 25 Boy Scouts in the Troop and I can't help but be thrilled.
A reminder, Monday's meeting is not a normal Troop night as we are participating in the District Tubing Night a Mad River Mountain. If you have not yet confirmed your involvement or paid Scoutmaster Jim (me) then please do so ASAP.
We will have use of the Tubing park from 5-9 p.m.
A note to parents - it is your responsibility to supervise your Scout and any other sibling you bring.
Have any questions please call.

Wow! I cannot believe how fast time flies. Last night was officially our last den meeting. Unfortunately there were so many things going on that I didn't get to make a big to do about it with the boys but from all the conversations I've had with all the boys over the last few days I know they are all ready to move on. I am so proud to report that the following boys will be receiving their Arrow of Light next Tuesday:
Eric L.
Eric P.
Griffin M.
Gavin S.
Trace R.
Kaleb R.
Blaize F.

All seven of these boys along with Camron W., Michael C. and Dallas G. will be crossing over to Troop 94 next Tuesday.
I'd like to thank all of you and all the boys for your patience these past few months in finishing the requirements needed to move on to the next stage. There's lots of excitement right around the corner and I'm glad that we'll continue to share it together.

New Eagles nesting in Troop 94

Congrats to Aaron M. and Brad S. for becoming the newest Eagle Scouts in the Troop 94 fraternity. Celebration was the beginning of a great night for the Troop and Webelos from Pack 94 and Pack 131. Electronics overnighter with most of the Scouts (but not the Scoutmaster) making it through the night without sleep. Great job guys.
Awesome job with cleanup and being on top of it before 7 a.m. without having to be reminded.
Sorry for not having better photos but will post if I can receive some from the "school photographer!"

Remember that the Webelos II from Pack 94 are visiting Monday. There are activities planned and I look forward to the Boy Scouts bringing the material to run the meeting. Additionally, it's also Troop Committee meeting night to go along with Q & A with the Webelos parents.

MESSAGE FROM MS. DEB:
Good morning everyone,
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. If anyone from your unit is planning to help at the Night at the North Pole this Friday, December 4 please look for me in front of the old Family Pharmacy building at 5:30pm. The coordinator is to advise me of our assignments before then so I'll follow up as soon as I know.
Also as a reminder, if you are planning to walk in the Christmas parade please plan to have your units meet in the Bellefontaine High School parking lot across from the fairground entrance prior to 11:30am, Saturday December 5th. We will start lining up at 11:30am to walk at noon. Please remind your boys to dress for the weather. Units are encouraged to bring their unit flags for them to be carried during the parade. We will end the parade at Our Daily Bread with cookies and cocoa being provided for everyone participating. Please plan to have your parents pick the boys up at Our Daily Bread (223 Oakland Square - across from the Fire Department)immediately following the parade (approximately 1pm). I have purchased candy canes for us to distribute along the parade route with recruiting information for our district so hopefully we'll all have some new boys soon.
If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. If you know of anyone not included in this email please forward it to them. Have a great rest of the week and I hope to see everyone on Friday night!

Yours in Scouting,
