Troop Elections - April 29th at Troop Meeting

Posted on Apr 25 2024 - 10:08pm
Troop Elections - April 29th
 
On April 29th, Troop 1001 will be holding our annual Youth Leadership Elections for the upcoming scouting year. Scouts will be able to elect 8 Patrol Leaders and 1 Senior Patrol Leader. The fun thing is that the adults of the troop do not participate in the voting! The youth have full power over who their leaders will be next year.
 
To run for both Patrol Leader and Senior Patrol Leader, a scout must have participated in* Introduction to Leadership Skills in Troops (ILST) and National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) as well as have the rank of First Class or higher. Senior Patrol Leader Candidates must have already served on the Patrol Leader Council. Patrol Leader candidates will give one-minute campaign speeches about why they want the position and should be voted for while Senior Patrol Leader Speeches should be about three minutes long.
 
Any scout who wants to run for either of these positions needed to turn in a leadership application to Drew Baker or Mr. Booker already (if you didn't and are still interested, please reach out to Drew or Mr. Booker to discuss).
ALL scouts planning to run for a position MUST attend the scout and parent meeting on April 22 at 6:30PM to discuss these roles. 
 
All other positions (troop guide, quartermaster, historian, etc.) will be appointed by the SPL and Scoutmaster but not elected at this meeting. Applications for these positions must be turned in by May 21st.
 
Leadership time is a requirement for every rank after First Class. Look in your scout book for the required number of months for specific ranks as well as job descriptions for each role. We can’t wait to see how each of you choose to serve in this upcoming year!
 
*or have a plan to participate in. Please speak with the scoutmaster to work out a plan.

Eric Calhoun Eagle Project - Final Workday April 13th

Posted on Apr 10 2024 - 12:08pm

Hi, my name is Eric Calhoun. I've been in Troop 1001 since 2017 and am currently working on my Eagle project.

My project is a little library located at Fowler Middle School. The library is going to benefit students as well as the community around the area that want to stop by and borrow a book. The costs of the library itself are going to be contributed toward buying the wood, paint, tools, materials, etc. that are essential to the construction of the library. The library is going to provide free books that are donated by scouts as well as myself.

My final scout workday will be at Fowler Middle School on Saturday April 13th 

Please sign up for work times at this link: ECalhounEagle

I would much appreciate your support in my Eagle project as well as donations contributed.  You can donate on my GoFundMe by clicking ECGoFundMe

I will have a donation box for scouts to donate books that will be at TBC for the next couple meetings.
