Hi this is Kyle Strohmeyer-

Thank you to all who supported with my fundraising, I greatly appreciate it, below is a link to a sign up genius, I have allocated a few hours this Saturday, starting at 9am and hoping to finish after a couple of hours, this will be more of a physically demanding project so some strong helpers would be appreciated. For those able to sign up we ask if you can bring your own gardening gloves and some small and large shovels if possible, some will be provided as well. Address and information is in the sign up. Thanks

To earn the Life rank, scouts must participate in six hours of services with at least 3 of those being conservation related. This is a great opportunity for a scout of any rank to give back to the community that we live in and earn credit towards rank advancement. Sign up here

Cottonwood Art Festival - October 4-5

Posted on Sep 16 2025 - 7:52pm

Message:

Cottonwood Art Festival is a major fundraising event for our Troop that helps defray the costs associated with Scouting and provides an opportunity for the Troop to engage with the community by volunteering our time to the city and artists.

To ensure that our assigned volunteer duties are successful, each scout is expected to work a minimum of eight hours at the festival. All time after eight hours count toward rank volunteer hours. Troop 1001 parents/guardians are expected to volunteer a minimum of eight adult hours during the festival – wear your Troop 1001 green t-shirt. We especially need help with loading artists in on Friday and loading out on Sunday night. The entire Troop is needed to support the Cottonwood Art Festival.

Arapaho United Methodist Church Annual Pumpkin Patch is back!

Our first (and only!) load of pumpkins comes Saturday October 4th at 10am. We would love to have scouts and family members come help us with the unloading. Bring water, work gloves and wheelbarrows or wagons. Plus, donuts for helpers!
