Parents,
We are planning a brief parents meeting at our Troop Meeting this year.   We are looking for 100% participation.  

Agenda:

• Camping calendar
• Merit badge schedule
• Fundraising overview
• Troop gear expectations
• Meal buying expectations
• Yawgoog
• Scout status online
• Bringing books (up through 1^st Class)
• New Code of Conduct.
• Volunteering (Merit badge counselor , Trip coordinators, leadership positions, progression as scouts mature)

Over the summer we had an amazing number of Eagle Courts of Honor.  Above are 6 of the 13 new Eagles in the past 12 months, at Brad's CoH.  Shown are, from left to right are Brad S., Kaz G., Derek V., Mike P., Ben J. & Max M.  Not shown are John H., Griffin A., Christian P., Grant A.,  Daniel J., John L., John A.

We had another strong year at Yawgoog!!.  We once again earned more merit badges than any other Troop at Camp Medicine Bow, and won both the Bake-Off and the Swim Carnival.  Unfortunately, the Troop tournament this year was not frisbee, so we sadly did not defend our tournament crown.  A good time was had by all!!

Come to Camp Sikorsky, earn a few Merit Badges, and get a tour of the factory where they make the famed Black Hawk Helicoptor!!   Signups are NOW for this campout & You must be 14 years old (any scout going into 9th grade or older will be fine).  Space is limited to only 8 Scouts.  The Campout is the weekend of Sept 20th, and the cost is $60.  Note that they provide all food.   For more information, and signups, click here. George Moore (georgeandrubymoore@gmail.com) is coordinating. 

2 Capsized canoes, 1 swamped canoe, 1 swamped kayak, 1 lost phone, 1 found ball.... In short, BEST CAMPOUT EVER!!!!. 
Thank you Eric and Roy for planning such a great trip... More photos at https://photos.app.goo.gl/nhyxxwUCeKpd8yPW9

The Court of Honor has been pushed back to Wednesday May 29th, to avoid a conflict with the 8th grade graduation.  Look forward to seeing you there!!!
