Scouting Around

ITEMS OF NOTE
• talked for more than half-hour with Brad tonight. Sounds like he is doing really well and having great time, enjoying his basic training. He'll be home during Christmas and he is looking forward to stopping by our meeting. He did receive the letters we wrote and wa thrilled to hear for all of us. He sounded great.

• Lots of great plans in the works for the troop. Sorry I haven't updated regularly.
ITEM 1: Brandon is working this Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. On his Eagle Scout project at one of the habitat houses on Railroad street just off West street, a stones throw northwest of old Gillespie oil (sorry don't know new name). Bring gloves, rakes, shovels other landscaping tools to work.
ITEM 2: Court of Honor is Nov. 23, with several Scouts set to receive rank advancements.
Troop also plans to use this night to celebrate Tthanksgiving. The pine trees and Viking patrols are working on several side dishes. The SPL is planning award presentation and we're going to start off preparing a couple fishes to take to Bellefontaine firefighters on thanksgiving.
ITEM 3: Troop meeting on Dec. 28 will be at the Son Center with an overnight planned as well. Electronics, a talent show and other fun games on in the works. Adults are welcomed to join, if interest please let me know.
ITEM 4: Popcorn will be handed out Monday and prizes will be given at court of honor.
ITEM 5: Night at the North Pole is Dec. 4 from 6-8 p.m.; the annual Christmas parade is the next day. We meet before 11:30 at fairgrounds; parade begins at noon; and pickup will be at Out Daily Bread as we are again collecting items for them.
