This Thursday, scouts will learn about different boats including rowboats, canoes, and kayaks and try their luck at a nautical competition in preparation for the Aqua Adventures campout later this month. Mrs Goss will also be available to answer questions about this year’s popcorn fundraiser and help families with registration issues. Deadlines to submit merit badge and rank completions as well as applications for the next round of leadership applications are approaching at the end of the month. The PLC will meet at 6:45. Check our calendar and sign up for merit badge offerings, camping trips, service opportunities, and our Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops training in October.  Participants going to Northern Tier will have a kickoff meeting on Sunday at 3 pm at Melt Creamery before the Committee Meeting at 4 pm.  See you Thursday for our last meeting of summer break!

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.

Hello! This week scouts will have an opportunity to complete the Liberty in Action emblem and discuss plans for next week’s water day (get those water toys ready!). The PLC will meet at 6 pm to plan for August. Scouts should review upcoming August events like the Stringfellow school service project and Aqua Adventures camping event. Families can also register to participate in the upcoming popcorn fundraiser.  Make the most of these last few weeks of summer vacation!

The Scouts will continue working on requirements for the Liberty in Action Challenge emblem at this week's meeting.  The PLC will meet at 6:45 to prepare for the meeting.  Please look at the August opportunities on our calendar and sign up for the Aqua Adventures campout and service projects if you plan to attend.  We are purchasing Aqua Adventures tickets based on expressed interest. The 1 hour planning PLC will be July 23rd.

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!
