Troop elections | next meeting | Eagle Court of Honor

Hello Troop 1 - quick update for those of you who were unable to make the Court of Honor on Monday.

Troop election results were announced. Your new troop leadership is:

  • SPL: Henry R
  • ASPL: Mason E and Cullan F
  • Troop Guide: Oliver N, Theo H, Finn N
  • Scribe: Noah M
  • Outdoor Ethics Guide: Ami H
  • Librarian: Jonah M
  • Historian: Sam F
  • Instructor: Andy B and Lucien R
  • Webmaster: Ethan T

 We're still missing leadership in a few key spots. Quartermaster, OA Representative, Bugler, Chaplain Aide, and Den Chief are open. If you are interested in one of these roles, please talk to me. Note that OA Rep needs to be an OA member.

Patrol elections have not yet been held. We'll plan to have patrols elect their new PLs and APLs at an upcoming meeting.

Our meeting on Monday will be focused on preparing for Tomahawk. Scouts who will be at summer camp should plan to check and assemble the patrol boxes and other gear - scouts who are not going to summer camp can either help with preparing gear, or work on advancement. (If you're excited about checking the troop shed contents, that Quartermaster position might be for you!)

We'll also hold a pre-camp gear swap. If you have camping gear / boots / uniform parts that are in good shape but no longer fit or are in need of a new home, please consider bringing them to the meeting. Scouts grow fast, and gear or uniform parts you don't need any more might help out someone else in the troop!

And last but certainly not least, Alex Barber's Eagle Court of Honor is this Sunday, July 16, at 5 PM, Wabun Picnic Area, shelter D. If you are able to attend to congratulate Alex on completion of Scouting's highest rank, please do! Wear your Class A uniform. If you have not been to an Eagle COH before, it's a great way to thank Alex (and their parents!) for their significant contributions to Troop 1, and to get inspired to work on your own advancement.

Good Scouting!
