Upcoming Activities

Webelos Weekend –We’re ready for Webelos Weekend, which will be held on November 7^th and 8^th.

We will preload the Troop Trailer at the Scout Hut on Friday, beginning at 6:00pm. We will then meet at Lake McMurtry for setup on Saturday at 9:00am.

Girl Scout Garage/Bake Sale – Girl Scout Troop 678, which meets in the Scout Hut on Tuesdays, will be holding a garage and bake sale on Saturday, November 14^th. The purpose of the sale is to raise money for the Scouts to travel to Savannah, GA to visit the home of Juliette Gordon Law, the founder of Girl Scouts. In preparation they will begin storing sale items in the Hut as early as Wednesday, November 11^th.

If you’d like to donate items to the Girl Scouts for their sale, please bring them to our Monday Meetings. As long as what we gather is not garbage, they’ll gladly take the donations for their cause.

Lock-in/Merit Badge Fair – Currently scheduled for December 4^th – 5^th. A list of merit badges is posted on the blackboard in the Scout Hut. We will narrow down our offering once Webelos Weekend is complete. The permission slip is on the website.

Eskimo Joe’s Scouting Adventure – The rollout of the 100^th Anniversary Joe’s Scouting Shirt will be held on January 1^st from 11:00am – 2:00pm. The shirt is very cool and all that can attend in uniform is greatly appreciated. I’m told that they will be serving Pepsi product to all in attendance.

Centennial Eagle Scout Banquet – Planning is about to begin for a gala that will bring together all of the Eagle Scouts that reside within Pawnee Bill District. The purpose will be to honor and reconnect these Scouters. The event will be held at the FUMC Family Life Center on February 5^th. Each Troop is being asked to provide a steering committee representative. In addition, our Scouts are being asked to serve at the function. Anyone interested in serving on the committee, please let me know.
