The remaining meetings for the month of June will be largely influenced by summer camp plans!  This Thursday, June 4th,  acting camp SPL Kate Goss and acting camp scoutmaster Mrs. Carol Shen will lead preparations for week 2 of Camp Constantin summer camp.  This meeting will be conducted outdoors and consist of a trunk check and packing, practicing assembly and disassembly of bug nets and cots, and review of logistics for departure on Sunday.  The meeting may not last to the normal completion time, so parents of scouts attending should stay on site instead of dropping off their scouts for the evening.  They may appreciate bringing a lawn chair to sit.  As scouts will travel to camp wearing their class a uniforms, we request they not pack it in their trunk with their other items and keep it to wear on Sunday morning.  We will have similar activities on June 25th for the scouts attending week 4 at Camp Constantin.  We will not have scout meetings on June 18th and July 2nd due to the Troop's participation at summer camp.  Look for a future email with information about joining the troop for fireworks on July 4th at Andy Brown Park and helping with a trash pickup on July 5th as scouts complete requirements toward the America 250 Anniversary Challenge award and develop citizenship within our Coppell community.  

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer break! This week, the PLC will meet at 6:45. Please return troop gear and bring any missing medical or registration forms to help us prepare for summer camp. At the meeting, scouts will go through a packed trunk to review necessary and recommended equipment for summer camp. There will also be an opportunity to complete environmental presentations.  Please look at volunteer opportunities for Saturday to help at Aashika’s Eagle Car Wash as well as opportunities to help at LLELA during the first two weeks of June!

Hello families! I hope summer break is going well! This week, our PLC will meet at 6:45 to prepare for the Troop meeting. Families of scouts attending summer camp should bring any remaining paperwork to the meeting (medical forms, emergency plan acknowledgement forms for youth, adult state compliance forms, adult SYT and hazardous weather training certificates). Scouts will present their environmental presentations for completion of rank requirements. We have begun pricing, reserving, and advertising campouts and activities for the coming year based on the PLC’s recent annual calendar planning meeting.  Of particular note are events that we need to get a headcount now to purchase the right number of spots, including the Aqua Adventures campout at Camp Constantin in August 2026, the Kansas salt mine mining and geology merit badge sleepover in December, and our far option summer camp option at Camp Merriwether for July 2027. Please look for recent emails from Mr Eden for more information and let us know if you want to go by registering on the Troop website. Final update, we have opportunities for service hours through Aashika’s Eagle car wash fundraiser on June 6th and childhood education opportunities the first two weeks of June. Please check Troop calendar for more information and to sign up!

We will have a parent meeting to discuss summer camp during our Troop meeting this week.  We would like at least one parent of each scout who will attend camp to join us.  Our PLC will meet at 6:45 for their meeting. During the meeting, the scouts who are attending the Dinosaur Valley State Park campout will conduct their meal planning and the scouts will discuss the hiking essentials.  There is also an opportunity for scouts to give their environmental presentations to fulfill requirements. This will be the last meeting before the break where scouts will wear their full uniform.  From Memorial Day to Labor Day, scouts are welcome to wear their class b shirts and olive shorts/pants/skorts to meetings, as long as they are not planning to lead flags, have their scoutmaster conference, or conduct their board of review.  We request they wear their full uniform including tan shirts and merit badge sash for those activities.

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.
