Don't forget that this weekend is a huge chance to earn money for our trip to Washington. Even if you're not going it's still a great oppurtunity to earn for other scouting events.

We will be meeting at the church this Saturday at 8:00AM. We are going to be raking a two acre piece of land for a total of $500 split between the boys who come and work.

Blake's Eagle Scout Project is coming up very soon. Remember, you do not have to go, but as a scout, when you help someone with their Eagle Scout Project, you learn new things, how to follow, and then they will be more likely to come back and help you later when it comes time for your eagle project.

Who: Blake Ford

When: Saturday, March 14th 2009 9:00AM

Where: James Irwin Charter Highschool (South Side)

Get the directions here.

What to Bring: Yourself, workgloves, safety glasses. Wear something that you can get dirty, and don't forget to get a good night sleep!

Don't forget to bring your packs next week for inspection!

Today Curtis gave a class on making campfires. Mr. Wallace reinforced that teaching, as well as showed us (again) the different types of fires. Mr. Ho, Mr. Wallace, and Mr. Phillips taught us about these campfires, as well as going through examples in making patrols, menus and furthering reinforced our learnings. As a Troop we planned a menu for the upcoming campout, keeping to the food pyramid.

Last weeks Court of Honor went pretty well, despite the small attendance.

The templates for the rest of the pages are now uploaded, so you won't have any more dead links. Also, note the new colors for the Updates and Announcements. The colors on the left correspond with the matching colored date on the right. So if you're real busy and don't have time to read through things, just check the left side to see what you are looking for.

Also, upon a boy recieving a rank, it will be posted in Blue on the left in the updates, bolded italicized and underlined.

For example, Blakes Eagle Scout Project is important, and is thus noted in yellow on the updates, and the date it was posted on the announcements. And Jeremy's Eagle Scout Rank was noted in blue
