Leadership Patches

It's time again to choose our Scout leaders for next year. This coming Monday is our annual troop election night, for Patrol Leaders and Senior Patrol Leader for 2026-27. What you need to know:

If you want to run for either of these positions, or serve in any leadership role next year, fill out the Youth Leadership Application form: https://forms.gle/7HeDmdXXzppPHMAe9
Elections are Monday 4/20, so this form is due Sunday night 4/19
Scouts—

You will pick your top three choices for leadership roles, and next year's SPL will appoint leaders from the applicants
Your parents should know about the role you are applying for, and especially if you are running for PL or SPL, they should be aware of the time commitment
Patrol Leader and Senior Patrol Leader candidates should be prepared to give a short speech Monday to the troop about yourself and why you want to lead.
(PL: 1min, SPL: 4-5min)

Plan on attending Monday—we want everyone to vote on next year's leaders!

Kyle Ogden Eagle project (4/18)

Hi, My name is Kyle Ogden. THIS SATURDAY I am working on my Eagle Scout project for Mohawk Elementary School. My project will be resurfacing the baseball field at Mohawk Elementary School. This project will require laying fresh infield soil on top of the previous layer, which hasn’t been touched in many years.

Please bring work gloves, shovels, and dirt rakes. Wheelbarrows will also be helpful.

COTTONWOOD Fundraiser

Troop 1001,

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Time to show our Scout Spirit and support the Troop’s biggest fundraiser of the year—the Cottonwood Art Festival.

I will be making multiple announcements over the next several weeks, but suffice it to say we need maximum assistance and participation.

Adults! We REALLY need your help on Thursday and Friday while school is still in session. I know it’s a big ask, but if you have the ability to flex your time or take PTO, it benefits the Troop immensely.

Thank you for all you do to make our program amazing for our boys!

YIS,

Chris Dudley
