PLC Meeting • Monday, 6:30-8:00pm • MUMC
We'll be having a post-camp Patrol Leader's Council meeting tonight planning meeting through the end of the year. 
SPL, ASPL, All PLs, APLSs should be sure to attend. Any scout in a Leadership PoR, is encouraged to attend. Class A. 

Pack 1 is having den meetings so Den Chiefs should attend and be helpful! 

Pancake Breakfast Nov. 17, MUMC
We are having our Fall Pancake Breakfast this Sunday, Nov 17. 

Start inviting your neighbors and friends, acquaintances, teachers, coaches, the family down the street that you raked leaves for. Use this image on your FB page. Nextdoor, etc. We're counting on you to help out and to promote!!!

We have two shifts 0700-1030 & 0930-1230

Thanks in advance to Eddie McDonald for volunteering to coordinate this effort!

Please share this with your networks. Facebook, work. Friends, neighbors, acquaintances. 


December 13-15 • Board game Camp • Kiwanis 
Start picking out your favorite games. Risk, D&D, Catan, Secret Hitler, Monopoly, even card games like 21, etc. Please do not bring Cards Against Humanity, it's too inappropriate for a scouting activity.  We'll be at Kiwanis, but our gaming will take place in Gordon Hall! Pack some slippers, no shoes on the wood floors and the concrete gets cold. 

There will be plenty of room for us to leave our games up and move on to something else. We'll be sleeping and "cooking" elsewhere. 

Board Game Camp is Dec 13-15. Sign Up Here

Register for Scouting in 2020
You may have recently received mail about fees for Scouting going up. They're not going up for us in Metro Lakes District. They're going up for the rest of the council. That said, nobody is turned away for an inability to pay the full amount. 

If you don't register before the January 1, things get messy with getting dropped from our roster, etc. Please don't make extra work for our volunteers. 
If you don't plan to continue in Troop 1 next year, please reach out and let me know. 

Scoutmaster Corps and Committee Registrations are paid for and handled by the troop - thanks for volunteering, you don't need to register yourself. 
Please get registered for 2020, ASAP
