Hello Troop 1,
Here's a reminder about our upcoming meetings. We'll work on scout skills such as knot-tying and earn service hours as we clean up our neighborhood.
We also have an opportunity to help out MUMC and get our gear shed in order before the snow flies. Please help out with this if you can.
Finally, I'd like to encourage you to come to the Back to the Woods campout this October! It will be the last nice fall tenting campout of the year, and should be a low-key weekend where we can hang out and have fun. If you're working on Scout through First Class ranks, there should be plenty of opportunities to work on some of those outdoor advancement requirements, look through your handbook and think about what you'd like to focus on that weekend. If you're planning on attending and have not yet signed up, please sign up so we can plan for activities, supervision, and meals.
Troop Meeting: Scout Skills Power Hour | Monday, October 5, 6:30-8pm at MUMC
Join us for a little competition between patrols! Each patrol team will work through various scout skills such as knots, first aid, map and compass skills, in a relay format. If you aren't familiar with these skills yet, this can be a fun way to learn.
New! Gear Care and Repair Day | Sunday, October 11, 1-4pm at MUMC
MUMC has asked us to help out by refurbishing the worn picnic tables we all use when we hold our troop meetings outside on the lawn. Additionally, it's a great time to get our shed in shape and go through our gear while the weather is nice. Please join us to help out for a few hours, many hands make light work! Wear clothes that can get dirty or get paint or stain on them.
Troop Meeting: 50th Street trash cleanup and camp planning | Monday, October 12, 6:30-8pm at MUMC
Earn some conservation service hours by picking up trash along 50th Street.
Representatives from each patrol planning to attend the October camp should stay back to plan our menu. We'd like to try something new this trip: plan and purchase food as a troop but still cook as individual patrols (like we do at Tomahawk). Everyone should bring meal ideas to this meeting so our menu planners have ideas to work with.
