Upcoming Troop Meetings

• Jan 29^th – Klondike planning and Future Events Planning! (Meeting in Gamon Hall – lower level of Gary Church)
  • Each scout has been asked to do a little research and fine 5 places he would like to go. These can be ideas to do during a Troop Meeting on a Tuesday night. They can be something we can do in a day as a day trip. Or they can be ideas of places to go for a weekend campout or perhaps even a longer 3 day get-away. Within reason (no trips to the moon!) if you want to do it, or you have a friend in another Troop who has done it and it sounds like fun – bring it! We will then take those ideas and begin to plan on how we can get there.
• Feb 5^th – PLC – all scouts are welcome to come and plan future meetings
• Feb 7^th – Committee Meeting
