Boy Scout Troop 1001

Hello all Scouts and Scouters,

Please pay special attention to this message. WE WILL BE MEETING AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION MONDAY, MAY 5.

In preparation for our May campout and upcoming summer camp, Monday night's meeting is a BSA swim test to be held at The JJ Pierce High School Natatorium. The school is located at 1600 N. Coit Road south of Campbell road.

Monday night May 5th we will meet at 7:00pm at JJ Pierce High School Natatorium. The pool is located in a separate building east of the main school building (see map). The natatorium may be approached from Senior Way, which runs on the north side of the campus.

Scouts should wear appropriate swimwear, footwear and bring a towel. Class B shirts please. We will begin as soon after 7:00pm as possible. We should be able to complete the test by our normal 8:30pm meeting end time. Adults planning to get in the water in Galveston or at summer camp need to take the test as well.

There will be no Scoutmaster conferences, merit badge classes or Boards of Review this week due to the new meeting location.

There are a few seats remaining on the bus to Galveston, NASA and the Battleship Texas. Please contact Mr. Watts to sign up for the trip if you have not done so and plan to attend. Signups are also due for summer camp.

Paul D.'s Eagle project continues on Saturday. If you are not planning to be at Cottonwood on Saturday please consider helping Paul complete this important project on the church grounds. Starting time 9am, finish when the remaining sand has been relocated. Bring gloves, a shovel, water bottle, sunscreen and a burning desire to get 'er done.

Scout Show tickets are selling fast. Please continue to sell this great moneymaker for your account with the troop. Contact Mr. Chrisman if you need additional tickets.

I look forward to seeing you at Cottonwood park this weekend and at JJ Pierce Natatorium Monday night.

Yours in Scouting,
Scoutmaster Coon
