Troop Elections | PLC | Court of Honor

Happy Tuesday, Troop 1!

Troop Elections were held last night. Your new troop leadership is Cullan (SPL), Del and Lucien (ASPLs). Full election details are listed in the Troop Leadership/Patrols file. If you need a position of responsibility (or wish to continue in your prior position, if vacant) and were not at the meeting for the election OR don't see your position listed in the file, please contact me ASAP. Some critical missing positions include Outdoor Ethics Guide, Librarian, Chaplain Aide, OA Representative, and Den Chief.

Adult leaders, this applies to you as well: If you are listed incorrectly (or not listed at all!) please let me know so I can update this file.

Patrol Leaders Council will be held Monday Dec 11, 6:30, at MUMC. The first meeting after a camp weekend is traditionally when we hold the PLC. All Patrol leaders (outgoing and newly elected) plus Scribe should plan to attend. Any scout who wishes to provide input on future meeting plans is welcome to attend but not required. Scouts can (and should!) contact their Patrol Leader to provide input: This is your Patrol Leader's job, to represent their patrol at these meetings. If you don't tell them what is important to you, they can't represent you in the meeting!

Court of Honor will be held Monday December 18 at MUMC. We have multiple newly earned ranks to award, and Merit Badges to present. Scouts should wear their best uniform. (If you're missing or have outgrown uniform parts, we may be able to help! The Troop has some extras for those who want them.) Families may wish to bring a treat to share with the troop after the event. If bringing a treat, please list ingredients to inform those who have dietary restrictions or preferences.

Last, a quick plug for service hours as we enter the winter months. Watch for snowy days! If you have neighbors and you also have a shovel, put your shovel to good use - you will have a really easy way to earn some hours and earn some goodwill at the same time.

Good Scouting!
