Boy Scout Troop 1001

Hello Scouts and Scouters,

Derby Day

Our 2010 Derby Day was a success. The boys’ creativity and spirit was in high gear to create some really unique cars. Lots of family members and spectators were on hand to watch the four heats each car (ok, most cars) raced for that top trophy. One car raced three of the four heats without any wheels! Now that’s Scout Spirit!

Six trophies were awarded at the end of the races. Watch this page for pictures and a list of winning patrols.

Next Campout is 02/12 – It’s Money Monday™ Already!

Our next campout is Friday, 02/12. This is our annual Camporee Prep event which will be held at Camp Wisdom. In addition to our usual rotations we will also stage a mobilization. This satisfies a requirement of the E-Prep merit badge that isn’t covered at summer camp.

Register now for the Spring NYLT – National Youth Leadership Training

There is still time to register for the Spring NYLT sessions starting March 14th and March 15th. These are the last two sessions before summer break. All current and prospective Patrol Leaders should attend NYLT. Follow this link to register – http://www.c10nylt.org/

Living Campout Display

To commemorate Scout Sunday and the 100th anniversary of Scouting, Troop 1001 has set up a “living Campout Display” on the TBC grounds. The display includes tents, chuck box, campfire, a huge commemorative banner, and live Scouts! This display helps share the news of our 100th anniversary with passersby on Campbell Road and show that Scouting traditions are alive and well at Trinity Bible Church.

The living display will be staffed form 4:30 to 6 pm on Tuesday, February 2 and Thursday, February 4.

Trail to First Class Scouts should attend. This will be a great opportunity to complete the personal fitness requirements and more.

Scout Sunday

Sunday, February 7th, is “Scout Sunday”. All Scouts should plan to meet at Trinity Bible Church at 8:30 that morning. The service will be over by 10:15. This is a Full Class A event. TBC provides a fantastic home for our troop. Please show your appreciation by attending this special Scout service.

Scouting for Food

Our annual food drive will be February 20. With the continuing economic conditions and high unemployment the need for donations of food is greater than ever. If our whole troop works together we can make a big difference in the lives of those less fortunate. We need each Scout to step up to this challenge and live the Scout Oath “to help other people at all times”. Watch this web site and your newsletter for details.

Next regular Troop meeting is Monday, 02/08 – It’s already Money Monday™ again!

On Monday, 02/08, the boys will work on Lashings and prepare their menus for the February campout on 02/12-14. Remember to bring your signed permission slips and money for food.

Now is the time to sharpen all of your Scouting skills before Camporee in March.
