We will begin learning about fishing on Thursday evening, with a presentation by Mr. Eden and skills instruction by Christina and Rebekah.  Signups for the Hiking merit badge is currently open online.  Several students have requested a bluecard from Mrs. Stephens, but haven't signed up online.  You should sign up to reserve your space, as extra slots have been offered to another Troop and there is limited space.  PLC members should arrive at 6:45 for their weekly meeting.  Everyone should keep an eye out for Dr. Mavalli's email for signups for snacks and instructions for next Thursday's Court of Honor. First year scout parents, when scouts are presented with a new rank, their parents are invited onstage for a special ceremony.  We hope that you will be able to join us next week as scouts who have completed all the scout requirements and their scoutmaster conference will be presented with their first rank and neckerchief and slide.

At this week's meeting, scouts will have the opportunity to learn from Dr. Mavalli about advancement policies and procedures within the Troop, and scouts will develop their Patrol Spirit by working on their patrol flags and yells.  Thursday is the deadline to order scout class B shirts and hoodies.  Orders can be placed online through https://form.jotform.com/260984616764167.  Thursday is also the deadline for scouts to return any rank advancement or merit badge blue cards to Dr. Mavalli for award at the May 14th Court of Honor.  Scouts serving on the PLC will begin their meeting at 6:45.  See you there!

Hello Families!  This week our Patrol Leaders Council will meet at 6 p.m. for their planning meeting.  During the regular meeting, the PLC will do a job-expo, teaching the scouts about their role within the Troop.  The first year scouts will also begin learning the Scout Oath and Law and should bring their packed bag for a quick check to see they have what they need for their new scout campout.  Please bring back any tents, tarps, or other gear from previous campouts if you have any that haven't been returned yet.  We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Hello Scout Family!  Our PLC will meet at the church at 6:45 p.m.  During the meeting, Scouts will practice flag etiquette and the skills to conduct flag ceremonies.  We have added a second week of camp for our scouts this summer at Camp Constantin June 28-July 4th.  Come join us for a week of fun by the lake, earning merit badges and making memories with your fellow scouts. Signup is available on the Troop Calendar. I will bring my laptop and scouts will have the opportunity to select merit badge classes at the time of registration.  Please also look at the calendar and sign up to help Nandita and Akira with their Eagle projects this weekend.  The deadline to sign up for the New Scout Campout is Friday, April 17th.  We need our scouts who have not earned Scout rank to attend as participants and older scouts to serve as instructors.  There will not be much for you if you do not fall into one of these two categories, so we may circle back with families and ask the scouts to not attend if there are already sufficient instructors.  Two of our amazing scouts are participating in the Coppell Vivache Spring Show this weekend.  If you'd like to support them and join the watch party from the crowd, consider joining us!  We'll be seated in house left on row J, seats 33-34 on Friday evening.  Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance at https://coppell-choir-aoag.squarespace.com/tickets.

Class B t-shirts and Hoodies orders are available until April 30th.  They can be ordered at https://form.jotform.com/260984616764167.  We hope to be able to pass them out at the Court of Honor, but definitely at the May 21st meeting before everyone scatters for summer break.
