Boy Scout Troop 1001

Camporee is this weekend!

During the March 19 meeting, there was a rope-tying, stretcher-carrying race, where everyone did well. Also, Richard's patrol, the Lucky Ducks, won the skit contest. Their skit will be performed at Camporee.

The Troop Quartermaster and the patrol quartermasters need to be at the church parking lot at 5:30 pm on Wednesday. They will be loading the trailer and working on the gateway.

Patrol Leaders: Remember to have your patrol meetings so that you can work with your Camporee stuff. Work on your yells, flags, and cheers.

This Camporee will be like all the others: rainy. Bring 100% raingear so that you can stay nice and dry and perform well. Don't forget to bring your Class B as well.

[Ed note: see the article Camporee March 23-25, 2007 for more details.]

Communications Merit Badge 

This is a letter from Mrs. Lofley for those in the Communications Merit Badge class:

We will attend a work session of the Richardson City Council on Monday, March 26. You will need to take notes, observe how well the meeting participants make their points and communicate their views, and you will then write a short report on what you've seen.

Plan to meet at Trinity Bible Church at 5:30 p.m. We will travel together to attend the 6 p.m. meeting in the Richardson Room of the Richardson Civic Center/City Hall. We should return to Trinity Bible Church by 7:30 p.m.

Attending this meeting and writing the report will fulfill requirement no. 5 for your merit badge. If you cannot attend this meeting, you will need to attend another public meeting (with your couselor's approval) and write a report about it.
