It's that time of year, again! The Trees came down from Canada, and our Scouts took to that truck like champs. They didn't quite beat the old record, but unloading that many trees in 1:07 hours wasn't too shabby. It probably took longer to get the pine needles out of their hair, clothes and shoes that it did to unload and setup. Thanks to everyone who helped out!

Our November trip brought us back to Camp Norse to do a full weekend of COPE. We had done a single day COPE trip last year, and were looking forward to doing much more this year. We were not disappointed! Sure, there was the thrill of the high elements, but the low elements and games really were the stars of the weekend. Nothing but fun and learning here! We'd like to extend a huge thank you to Chad Winship and his COPE team for sacrificing their weekends to help us grow as a team, learn to problem solve, communicate and rise to the challenge! We would recommend a full weekend of COPE to anyone! It made us a stronger troop! At our November 10th Troop meeting, we were honored to have Mr. Earl Mason talk to us about Veterans Day and Mansfield's veterans. Mr. Mason is an Air Force Veteran, Mansfield native. He is also the author of a book, "The Mindset of a Patriot: A Badge of Honor", which provides accounts of Mansfield's fallen veterans from World War I to the Vietnam War. Mr. Mason graciously gave his time to help our scouts learn a little more about what Veteran's Day really means. Thank you, Mr. Mason! |
