Court of Honor postponed due to weather | Pivot to online meeting for camp planning

Hello Troop 1!

Due to inclement weather we are POSTPONING the Court of Honor. We do not want anyone risking a drive in bad weather for this event.

We will do our best to reschedule the Court of Honor for next Monday, May 5, provided the church can accommodate the change in date.

Spring Camporee is the weekend of May 9-11. Ordinarily we would be planning camp menu for the weekend during the Troop meeting right before camp. If we are holding the Court of Honor on May 5, we will need to perform camp planning at an alternate time.

Please watch your email for an invite to a Zoom meeting for camp planning. We will ask all those who intend to be at the Camporee to join this meeting.

If you have not yet signed up for the Camporee, please do so if you wish to attend! Registration will close very soon - there are plenty of open spots available but they can fill up quickly as other Troops register to attend.
