I hope you're having a wonderful Spring Break!  Scouts who are in town are welcome to join us for our scout meeting and campout prep.  Scouts will practice knots and pack the trailer for a quick departure for our Fredericksburg campout.  Please bring your packed bag for a bag check and packing.  The PLC will meet at 5:45.  Next week, we'll have a Troop Open House during our meeting on March 26th.  Bring a friend for an evening of Smores and homemade ice cream.  Introducing a friend to scouting fulfills a first class requirement, and the spring is a great time to join as we are forming our new scout patrol.  Please sign up so we will have an idea of how much supplies to bring.  Also, sign up now and select your merit badges for summer camp.  We'll go to Camp Constantin on Possum Kingdom Lake this summer (June 14-20).  The cost is $450 for scouts and $250 for adults.  We have 10 scout slots and 4 adult slots available, but may be able to get more if other Troops drop.  Sign up soon to reserve your space!

This week, our SPL is calling a slightly longer PLC meeting to begin at 6:30 on Thursday to go over the March plans with the new PLC, and has scheduled her 1 hour PLC for April planning for March 26th.  Scouts will do a creative knot project at the meeting.  We will host a Troop Open House on March 26th beginning at 7 p.m.  Please invite a friend to join us for the evening!  Please also sign up to help with Akira's eagle project fundraiser on Saturday if you will be in town!

We will have Troop Elections this Thursday evening to select our newest round of PLC members.  Please come and help select your Patrol Leader and Senior Patrol Leader and celebrate with us all on the conclusion of a successful chapter for our Troop and the beginning of another!  Lilly will meet with scouts who desire to take their rank required fitness test at 6:20 in the parking lot where we enter for the Court of Honor.  We'll have our PLC meeting at 6:45, then start our meeting at 7 p.m.  Following elections, scouts who are going to Enchanted Rock will work on their meal planning.  The deadline to sign up for the Enchanted Rock rock climbing and hiking campout is Friday, but it will be helpful to have a firm idea for Thursday's meal planning who will needs to be included in cooking patrols. We will have Eagle Project Fundraisers for the next two Saturdays, then an Eagle Project and Distinguished Conservation Service Project Work Day at LISDOLA on February 28th that will support THREE of our scouts!  We hope that you will be able come and support them in their efforts!
