Mulch Madness – We will be delivering Mulch for the FUMC on Saturday, March 27th. We will begin deliveries at 09:00am, so please arrive a little earlier. We will meet in the parking lot of the Family Life Center. Please wear your Class B Uniform and bring work gloves. We will be using the Troop Trailer for the deliveries.
We really need Troop participation in this event to help support our charter organization. Service hours will also be recorded for rank advancement.

Court of Honor – We will be holding our Court of Honor on Monday, March 29th to celebrate the accomplishments of our Scouts. All Scouts and family members are welcome to attend. Also, each Scout is asked to bring some goodies and snacks for the celebration after the COH.

Life to Eagle Workshop – There will be a workshop for all Scouts that are the rank of Life to help them prepare for their journey to Eagle. This is a great workshop that should be attended by the Scouts and their parents to ensure complete understanding of what’s required.

Summer Camp – Never too early to be thinking about Summer Camp. We have our reservation in for the second week, which is June 13 – 19. First Year Scouts need this camp, attending the Eagle Quest activities. Older Scouts will have the opportunity to select from the array of offered merit badges.
Justin Jones has volunteered to be one of our adult leaders for the week. How cool is that?
