Save the Dates

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.

Troop 94 Committee Chair & Webelos Dragon Den Leader

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.
