Boy Scout Troop 1001

Hello all Scouts and Scouters,

Our kickoff meeting was well attended and fun was had by all. The PLC met after the regular meeting to select the remaining roles in the patrol leaders council. Thank you to all who remained after the regular meeting to request a position of responsibility which will be officially announced at the meeting next week.

Patrols should have settled on a name and begun work on flags and cheers. All patrol leaders need to contact Scoutmaster Coon to discuss patrol patches.

Monday patrols will prepare menus and other planning as required. Please arrive on time in full Class A uniform.

Next week is the last meeting before our first campout at Camp Cherokee near Athens, Texas. We are planning to use canoes and hone our pioneering skills. Start checking out your camp gear now to make sure you are ready for fun in the woods in East Texas September 21st-23rd!

If you took a tent home to dry, it should be dry by now. Please return it to Mr. Roberts. We seem to be missing about eight tents.

Deposits are due for the Philmont and Seabase treks next summer. Please contact our new treasurer Mr. Watts with your deposit.

Cottonwood is around the corner.  Parents: the troop needs your contribution of time to retain the contract and achieve the aims of community service and civic involvement, but if you cannot be there, please consider a cash contribution to the troop. We have an exciting year planned. It takes great resources to run a great troop like ours.

I look forward to seeing you all Monday night.

Yours in Scouting,
Scoutmaster Coon
