Boy Scout Troop 1001

Hello all Scouts and Scouters,

Our final campout of the year was a great success. We played on Galveston Beach, toured NASA and slept overnight on the Battleship Texas while the Trinity Bible Church troop flag and Scout World Crest flag flew overhead. Thanks to the leadership of the NADs (Nik, Alex and Daniel) we had a fantastic year.

SPL Nik along with fellow Señor Patrol member Tyler ran a fair and balanced election for new troop leadership. Congratulations to the new Patrol Leadership Council (PLC). I am looking forward to another great scouting season working with SPL Richard, TJ and crew.

We would not have had much fun without the incredible support of the adult Freebird patrol. Twelve adults combined their skills to provide First Aid, Trailer repair, Food, Shelter and youthful enthusiasm. Thank you for aiding in the mission to provide these young men "Fun with a Purpose".

The support of the adult Freebird patrol is invaluable to make these events happen. If you are in training to join the Freebird Patrol, thank you. If not, get trained and come have some fun with a purpose.

Monday night's meeting is not a regular meeting. We will be having a meeting for parents of scouts going to summer camp and parents of scouts attending the Philmont trek. Summer camp families will meet in the Sanctuary, Philmont will meet in the scout room.

I look forward to seeing many of you at 7 pm Monday, June 2, 2008 at Trinity Bible Church.

Yours in Scouting,
Scoutmaster Coon
