All troop adults are invited and encouraged to attend a parents' meeting Saturday, June 16th from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm; this is during the final session of the scouts' Troop Leadership Training. This is an excellent opportunity to learn from troop leaders how you can best support your scout.  Committee Chair Rick Goad and other troop adult leaders will help describe troop leadership, positions and the concept behind 'boy-led' - the true purpose behind the Boy Scout curriculum which develops character and leaders in scouts, all while they are having fun.  You will learn how you can support this concept as a parent throughout your scout's BSA career.  The adult presentation will encapsulate the scout version of Troop Leadership Training (TLT).  To help organizers prepare enough refreshments, please use the online sign-up.

Scouts and Families,

Most of you are aware of the passing of our beloved Scoutmaster, Mike Payette, on Monday, May 7th following complications of his illness.  Our deepest regrets and prayers go out to Ray and all his family.  Services were held last Friday, May 11th at Restland Chapel to honor Mike before he returns to his final resting place in New Hampshire. 

Please upload any pictures you can contribute to a memorial photo album to the Troop 1001 Shutterfly account for Mike, accessible from the website. 

Circle Ten Council Scout Stores will have a Buy One Get One Sale on Nylon uniforms Friday 5/18 through Sunday 5/20.  The Scout Store sale is buy one and get one of equal or less value free. You can mix your purchase. You can purchase pants and shirt for the cost of the pants.  You can purchase one pair of pants for the scout and the second pair for an adult.  You can call the scout store first to verify that your size is available.
