Don't miss out on our April Court of Honor, tonight (April 11) at 7:30pm.  We will be honoring the achievements of our scouts who have advanced in rank or earned merit badges.  We will also walk down memory lane, as we recall the exploits of trips past (including a video of the Mt Cardigan Expedition)!

We will also have a visit by our Friends of Scouting (FOS) representative.  FOS is the local council's fundraising effort to help support the resources our Scouts need to do Scouting in the area.  Please be generous, as your contribution directly helps your scout and scouts in our area.

As always, all family and friends are invited to the Court of Honor.  Help cheer on our Scouts!

Snowstorm Linus has blanketed us with another few inches of snow.  The treacherous travel has caused us to postpone our February Court of Honor (& troop Meeting), scheduled for tonight, Feb 2.

There will be no Troop events tonight.  Please stay safe & warm.

We will reschedule the Court of Honor to next week, February 9 - same time (7:30pm).  We will still have a PLC and short Troop meeting on that day.

For anyone who needs to turn in last-minute Ski Trip registrations, please contact Mr. Hamilton.

Please remember to be a good citizen, and help out our Fire department clear out those fire hydrants!  Three feet around & down to the ground!

The Troop Committee is hosting a Parents Social prior to the Court of Honor. Please join us to meet the families involved in your scout’s troop, and to ask questions of the Troop Committee members. All are welcome!

All Scouts should arrive at the usual 7:00 pm meeting time. The Parent Social will begin at 7:00 pm. The Court of Honor will begin at 7:30 pm.

As with all Courts of Honor, Scouts are expected to be in their full Class A uniform, to include a merit badge sash, if they have one. 


This year we are going to try to do something different with the refreshments following the Court of Honor. In an effort to reduce leftovers, we are going to ask two patrols to help out with refreshments at each Court of Honor this year. For this  first one, on September 29th, we are asking the Skyhawks and the Epic Patrols to bring goodies to enjoy following the ceremony. Additionally, we would like to ask that the parents of these two patrols help with setting up the refreshments in the kitchen.

Mr. Ham, words can't express out thanks for your wonderful leadership!  We sure will miss you at the helm of our Troop!!! As a Wood Badger (Antelope!), you know the importance of leaving a legacy.  Well, just look at our troop, and you can see that legacy: 61 Scouts, 11 Eagles, and a community that has been touched by just about everything your do.  Thank you, Mr. Ham!
