Salutations Troop 1!
Court of Honor Monday: It's time to recognize our Scout's
accomplishments. We're proud of your Scout and you should be too!
Please join us as we welcome family and friends to be present
while we award our Scouts the ranks and Merit Badges they have
earned over the past few months. We encourage those in
attendance to bring a shareable treat to enjoy after the
awards ceremony is complete.
Merit Badge Work - the Troop started Communications Merit Badge this week. This and Personal Management MB will continue over the next few meetings. These are both Eagle-required badges. Please review requirements, and if you don't already have one, ask me for a blue card at the COH or next meeting.
Upcoming Campouts: Because you can't spell Scouting without "outing"!October 13-15: Fall Camporee, Phillippo. The Camporee is an event drawing troops and crews from across our council. The Camporee offers patrol-based skill competitions and many opportunities to meet other scouts. This year, attendees can work on First Aid, Emergency Preparedness, Fire Safety, and Orienteering merit badges. Registration closes soon. We currently have 10 scouts and 5 adults registered.

November 10-12: Fall "Back to the Woods" Camp, Stearns (Deckenbach Lodge). Like the Wild River campout last month, this is an unstructured camp. We'll try to plan a service project while on site, but the rest is up to you. Deckenbach does not have kitchen facilities, so we'll be cooking outside (and sleeping outside is strongly encouraged). Bring your Scout book, we'll have plenty of cances for advancement work.

December 8-10: Board Game Camp, Stearns (Tonkawa). A full weekend of your favorite board and tabletop games, in the newest and fanciest Scout lodge in Minnesota? Count me in! Bring your favorite games to share, and try games you've never played before. Whether it takes 5 minutes or 5 hours to play, we've got time!

Last but not least, Snow Base registration opens October 1. We'll be talking about this at an upcoming meeting to gauge interest and plan out a potential trip in January. Winter camping is awesome - just ask the crew that went last year!
