We'll be starting to work with First Aid Rank Requirements as well as First Aid MB. We'll continue working on some knots: Bowline, Clove hitch, Taut-line hitch, Two half hitches. We'll continue looking at the new patrol cookbooks, picking out some potential menu items for our next campout - in October. Patrols will be using these for at least one menu item on each campout. If you're interested you can view the Troop 1 Patrol Cookbook here.

Cycling MB
If your scout is interested in Cycling MB, have them get a blue card from me. Mr. Hartford went over many of the introductory requirements and many of you have been taking some of the required length rides. It'd be fun to complete the 50 together, I think Liam worked on his ride yesterday; Way to go!

A Scout is Loyal. A Scout is Helpful. A Scout is Kind.
