Troop,

Happy New Year – 2012

Happy New Year from Troop 35!

 

Many people view the New Year as a time of renewal, a time to restart, a time to make changes, and a time to look forward. In the Boy Scout troop, it is a time when we add new members – new scouts and older scouts move up and into leadership positions. Scouting is about having fun and developing the leadership skills a scout will rely on his entire life.  Scoutmaster Cat sent this message on New Year’s Eve to all scouts and their families – it his Scoutmaster Minute for the New Year. Happy New Year!
