Boy Scout Troop 1001

The first troop meeting of the fall season is 7 to 8:30 pm Monday, August 30 at Trinity Bible Church. Scouts and parents should attend to learn about the exciting plans your leaders have made for this year.

Remember that troop meetings are scheduled for 7-8:30 pm Mondays except following a campout and during the summer months. Patrol leaders and other Scouts with positions of responsibility meet 7-8:30 on the Monday following each campout and also briefly after each troop meeting.

Troop 1001 is paid by the Canyon Creek Neighborhood Association to distribute and pick up flags for special holidays. We will be distributing flags Saturday, Sept. 4 and pick them up on Saturday, Sept. 11 .

If you could help on either or both weekends, please sign up at the Scout meeting on Monday, Aug. 30. We will need some parent drivers as well. We will meet in the TBC parking lot 8:30 am. We should be finished around 11:30 or 12:00. We may have a fun activity afterward.

Thanks.

Formal leadership training for Boy Scouts starts with Oak Leaf, an overnight activity for Scouts 12 years of age or older and of First Class rank or higher. Second Class scouts are sometimes accommodated. Any scout wanting to become a Patrol Leader in Troop 1001 must take this training. Oak Leaf is offered this fall on October 9-10 by the North Trails District and on October 23-24 by the Great Plains District. Both training sessions will be held at Camp James Ray.

You need to sign up immediately to ensure a spot in a class. See the North Trails District web site or the Great Plains District web site for details and registration information. Note that parents must directly sign up their sons at these District web sites. Troop 1001 does not manage registration.

The spring date for the North Trails Oak Leaf training is March 26-27, 2011, which are the dates of our campout at Mr. Rainey’s Ranch, so sign up now for the fall class.

While not required for Eagle Scout, the God and Country Award is one Scouts are encouraged to earn. Trinity Bible Church offers the Protestant version of the award, and we will hold eleven (11) class sessions, all at 6 pm on Mondays, in September, November and January. It is strongly recommended that Scouts be First Class before starting the program. Download the information sheet for details. If you are interested, contact Mr. Frank.

Troop 1001 poly t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, caps, and water bottles are available by filling out an order form and turning in with payment to the Uniform Coordinator.
