Hello Troop 1!
Glad that so many of you could make it to Tomahawk.
It was a great week and I certainly enjoyed my time in the woods with all of you!
Scouts who were at camp, I am sending out emails listing any partial merit badges you may have, including the name of any counselors in the Troop and the specific items you need to do to complete the badge. Many of you might be able to do some or all of these requirements before the Court of Honor.
Monday July 29: We are meeting at Lake Nokomis to work on Canoeing Merit Badge.
Please meet at the parking lot on the north side of the lake, by the canoe dock (right down the hill from the Lake Nokomis Community Center).
We'll focus on canoe swamping and rescue requirements. Come to the meeting prepared to get wet! If you have a life vest please bring it to the meeting.
For those who do not want to do Canoeing (or have already earned it), we'll have Troop leadership on hand to work on merit badge completions and rank requirements. If hoping for a Scoutmaster's Conference or arriving for a Board of Review, be sure to bring your Scout handbook and wear your Class A uniform.
Court of Honor: Scheduled for August 19 at Minnehaha United Methodist Church.
This is a Class A uniform event - we will be handing out a LOT of rank awards, merit badges, and other recognition for Scouts and adults. Please consider bringing a treat to share with those attending. We welcome friends and family members who want to be there to see you get recognized for your hard work!
Remember, our advancement team needs lead time to pick up awards and badges. Please turn in completed blue cards as soon as possible to ensure you are recognized at this Court of Honor, otherwise earned awards may not be awarded until the next Court of Honor later this year!
