Hello Scouts! Looking forward to the meeting tomorrow. 6:30PM, Minnehaha United Methodist Church.
Meeting plans:
February 26: Knot Relay - patrol challenge! We'll work on basic knots, then have a relay to determine which patrol is "top knot-ch!" In case of a tie, well, that's how you get a knot! Winner will earn a knot emblem for their patrol flag!
We may have a guest at the Feb 26 meeting to discuss Coin Collecting Merit Badge. If interested, please plan to attend.
March 4: Camp planning + Knots and Lashings. We'll continue our adventures in ropes to learn about lashings. We'll hold a lashing relay, and scouts can use what they learned to finish the 1st Class knots and lashings requirements at the March camp.
Court of Honor: March 25. If you will need a Board of
Review, you will need to contact our advancement committee to
arrange this on or before March 11. Any Merit Badge completions need to be turned in by the cutoff date.
Upcoming camps:
March 8-10: Dutch Oven Challenge weekend, Kiwanis Scout Camp! We're asking patrols to create their best Dutch oven recipes, goal is to cook ONLY in the Dutch ovens for the whole weekend. Most impressive feat of Dutch oven cooking will earn the winning patrol a cast iron pan emblem for their patrol flag!
