Boy Scout Troop 1001

Hello all Scouts and Scouters,

Tonight we will begin at 6:00pm with a Citizen in the Community and First Aid merit badge class. The patrols will practice forming up and marching tonight in the parking lot. There is a scoutmaster prize for the winning patrol in tonight's practice march.

During tonight's meeting we will be making final plans for this weekend's event. Each patrol should have its flag ready and patrol patches on uniforms for the parade on Saturday. The cost is $25 per scout. We need to do our best to fill at least 50 seats with Scouts and Scouters from 1001. It would be ideal to fill all 56 seats.

Any Troop 1001 scout that has recently been awarded Eagle should plan to attend. If you know someone that has not been in attendance lately please let them know about our 'urban campout'. We really want to represent North Trail and Circle 10 with the largest, proudest group of scouts we can muster.

This trip differs from most due to its urban setting. More adult supervision will be required for this reason. This trip is also unique since we will share transportation - the bus. We will need a minimum of two adults per patrol participating in the scavenger hunt to ride on the bus. Two Deep Leadership will remain in effect all weekend. We will send an advance group down early Friday with the trailer, tents and other troop gear. Personal gear will be stowed on the bus.

Each Scout planning to work toward the Citizen in the Nation or Orienteering merit badge will need to make sure to get a blue card from me or the advancement committee before the weekend.

Let's get ready for a memorable weekend at the state capital.

Yours in Scouting,
Scoutmaster Coon
