Merit Badge Camp | Upcoming Meetings

Hello Troop 1!

Your Patrol Leader's Council met and planned the next few weeks of events. Many Merit Badge opportunities!

Merit Badge Camp - March 13-15 at Phillippo. Northern Star Council is offering Digital Technology Merit Badge this weekend. No additional cost to take this badge if registered as a camper for the weekend. Scouts will be provided a computer to use (or can bring their own laptop/tablet). Some pre-work required! Troop 1 counselors will also be hosting Citizenship in the Nation Merit Badge. Scouts who choose this option will work on it in camp. We have reserved a (small) cabin for this camp. Digital Technology spots will fill quickly so register SOON if you want this option - we will submit initial registration for this Merit Badge on March 1.


Upcoming meetings - First Aid Merit Badge. Starting on Feb 23, the Troop will be working on First Aid with counselors Peter Johnson and Corey Needleman. If you do not know Peter, he is our Chartered Organization Representative (the person who represents Minnehaha United Methodist Church on behalf of the Troop and Pack). He is also a registered healthcare professional, and has been a Scouting member for over 40 years.

Please come to the meeting ready to work on First Aid, or if you have already earned it, ready to help other Scouts work on their First Aid skills!

See you Monday!
