Update for July 30

Posted by cstephens1 on Jul 28 2026 - 1:44pm

Scouts will have their water day this Thursday evening. We will meet outside, and scouts should bring water toys and wear clothing that they don’t mind getting wet and shoes they can safely move in. Scouts in the PLC will meet at 6:45 for their pre meeting meeting. We have made changes to our volunteer opportunities for August, moving the August 8th volunteer opportunity at Stringfellow School and adding opportunities to help Nandita and Aashika with their Eagle Projects on August 2nd and 8th. We also have signups live for our August campout opportunity at Aqua Adventures at Camp Constantin.

Weekly update for July 2nd

Posted by cstephens1 on Jun 27 2026 - 9:59pm

Hello Troop Family!  We will not have a scout meeting this Thursday, July 2nd due to scouts attending Camp Constantin, but we will have two scouting events this weekend as part of our July America 250 Celebration!  On Saturday, scouts will gather at Andy Brown West at 5:30, then walk over to Andy Brown East to watch fireworks and participate in festivities.  Then the next day, scouts will get together again at 3 p.m. at the same location to help with the cleanup after the festival.  Both activities fulfill requirements of the Scouting America's Liberty in Action Award that the scouts plan to complete at Thursday meetings and extra events in the month of July.  More information about this patch is available at https://www.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Liberty_in_Action_A250_Challenge_Final.pdf. We will see everyone back together on July 9th for our next scout meeting!

Update for June 25th Meeting

Posted by cstephens1 on Jun 23 2026 - 10:00am

Hello Troop Families! June has been a month of adventure, and I look forward to our scouts getting to share about their experiences at Camp Constantin, Philmont, and NYLT. This Thursday, we will have another outdoor meeting, using the time to prep the Troop trailer and pack for the second round of summer camp. Week 4 Constantin scouts should bring their trunks for inspection and packing. As a reminder, we are wearing Class Bs to meetings, but scouts attending Camp should make sure to have their Class As for travel to and from camp and for flag ceremonies. We won’t meet next Thursday (July 2nd), but will have an opportunity to enjoy the fireworks together on July 4th!
