Good morning Troop 1!
I hope you're enjoying Spring Break, those of you in the Minneapolis school system!
Our troop calendar generally follows the Minneapolis school calendar. Because MPS is on break, we won't have a troop meeting tonight.
Our next event will be the opportunity to see the state capitol, next Saturday:
State capitol tour | Saturday, April 4We're going to tour the state capitol building in St. Paul. This will fulfill one of the requirements for Citizenship in the Nation merit badge. Any scouts are welcome to join us, whether they're working on that badge or not - if you're not working on it yet, see Dr. Nixon or myself for a blue card and you can start on the badge!
Our next regular troop meeting will be the following Monday, April 6. The plan is to have some free time for advancement work. This will be a great night to work on any rank or merit badge requirements you'd like to make progress on, and to schedule a court of honor or ask for a scoutmaster conference if you're ready for one. The next Court of Honor is coming up at the end of the month, where scouts will be recognized for their achievements this winter and spring. This week, I'd encourage you to look at your rank or merit badge progress, and find some requirements or skills you'd like to prepare and have tested and signed off when we meet again. Scouts over first class, scoutmasters, and merit badge counselors are encouraged to join us as well so we can all help with advancement and requirement sign-offs.
Have a wonderful week!
Jill Towle
