Cross Over & New Scouts First Meeting - 3/2/10

Greetings,

The Troop attended and conducted Cross Over ceremonies at 3 Blue & Gold banquets over the past week, and then held our Grand All New Scout Cross Over ceremony up at Camp La No Che last night.  We have a fantastic group of new Scouts, Leaders and Parents crossing over this year and we are all very excited about them joinging the Troop.

This Tuesday 3/2 represents the changing of the Scout leadership guard with Travis Springer taking over for Dallas Graves as Senior Patrol Leader and the New Scout Patrol will hold their first official Patrol Meeting as a whole, pick a new name so I can stop calling them the New Scout Patrol lol

We will also have a New Parent Meeting, this will be more of a Q & A session since we have already had a couple of meetings between the Scoutmaster, Recruiting Coordinator and Myself over the past few months as well as to introduce the key leaders the boys and parents need to know - Treasurer, Advancement, Outdooor Coordinator.

See you Tuesday!

Troop’s New Trailer!!!

Greetings,

The Troop Committee this week voted to approve the purchase of a new dual axle Quality Pace American Cargo Trailer. 

As the Troop has grown over the past 25 years it has added more and heavier equiptment that has required the Troop to add a dual axle trailer to its current fleet of single axle trailers.  One of the existing single axle trailers will be sold as part of the process and the Troop will operate with a dual and single axle trailer.

The brand new trailer will be in service and ready for the January Campout to the Florida Caverns.
