Boy Scout Troop 1001

Hello all Scouts and Scouters,

We had a great camp out this past weekend in Austin. Thank you to all that helped out.

We have two service events this weekend. Please make plans to attend both. Each scout participating in Saturday's food drive will receive service hours toward rank advancement.

This Saturday, February 10th, is the annual Scouting for Food drive. This year is different than last year. We did not leave bags out last weekend, so we will be knocking on doors and asking for our bags to be filled on Saturday. Contributions from troop 1001 families are also welcome. We need to collect more that 1200 pounds of food to do better than we did last year. Please be at the church at 8:30 in your Class A uniform. We will start with donuts and hot chocolate at 8:30 and we should be finished about noon.

Sunday morning, February 11th, we will be celebrating Scout Sunday at the Trinity Bible Church at 400 West Campbell in Richardson.. Please plan to arrive by 8:30am in your Class A uniform. Patrol leaders will be contacting certain scouts to assign door duty and Color Guard responsibilities. We need a big turnout to show the church membership our gratitude for their sponsorship.

Please see the troop website regarding the plans for the next meeting Monday February 12th. There will be merit badge classes resuming at 6:00pm followed by the regular 7:00pm meeting.

I look forward to seeing you this weekend.

Yours in Scouting,
Scoutmaster Coon
