January 2009 Notes

We have some changes to the Schedule. Due to conflicts, we have moved the February Caving trip to March, in place of the Wilderness Survival Campout. Our Caving destination will be a new one for our Troop, to the Sinks of the Round Stone. Here is a YouTube video of this cave made by a scout leader.

A Summer Camp 2009 handout was passed out at our 1/6/09 Troop Meeting.

Please Note!
We will NOT have a Troop Meeting on Dec. 23rd and Dec. 30. Enjoy your Christmas Break!

Winter High Adventure Notes
We are leaving on Friday, Dec. 26th at 8:30 AM. Please be on time so that you do not hold up the entire group.

Important! If you plan to ride on the Luge, you will need to bring your health insurance card or a copy of it. Sorry for the late notice on this, we did not find this out until the last minute.

Be sure to check the schedule from time to time, we now have the date for our May camp out, Sailing with the Sea Scouts, on May 15-17.

Instead of a regular Troop meeting, we will have the wreath pickup on Nov. 25, at the Stegman's.

This year started off with a bang at Peterloon.

We now have a tentative schedule available on the website. For the first time, we are including a Winter High Adventure trip. Check it out!

The Winter High Adventure trip will be to a YMCA Camp near Muskegon, Michigan. This camp features heated cabins, all meals provided, snow shoeing, cross-country skiing, ice skating and ice fishing (weather permitting). Other activities include archery, climbing wall, & ropes course with zip line. Nearby is a luge run that features hair-raising rides at 60 mph. You won't want to miss this trip!!! Muskegon gets an average of 24 inches of snow in the month of December.

Merit Badge Challenge
Information on the Merit Badge Challenge is available on the Dan Beard website. The Merit Badge Challenge is an opportunity for Scouts to earn up to 3 Merit Badges in February and March, by attending three Saturday morning sessions at Sycamore High School. Most Merit Badges also require some prework and/or homework in order to complete the badge. Details are in the packet on the website. Registration requires a signature by the Scoutmaster, but is otherwise filled out and mailed in by the parent.
