Everyone,

I apologize for not getting this out sooner. There hasn't been much extra time lately. On Saturday, November 21, from 9:00 AM until about 11:00 AM there is a service opportunity for the scouts. We have volunteered to help the church clean up around a bridge in the back of the property. They are getting ready for the annual Journey to Bethlehem event and we are going to help make the property look good. The church gives us a nice place to meet and this is a way to show our appreciation. Scouts will get service time as well as being able to count this as a non-troop meeting night activity which is needed to go towards second class and first class rank requirements. Please meet at the front of the sanctuary and bring some work gloves.

For those that are working on the Electronics merit badge, here is some information from Mr. Gonzales:

Continue working on the circuit at home following the instructions posted here. The instructions have been edited and your circuit will work. Also do requirement 6: Search the internet for jobs in the Electronics field and look for job openings, job offers, for these positions, that will tell you what type of training is required. Remember, the more you do you your own, the faster we can finish the merit badge.

As as reminder we are off on Monday, November 23, for Thanksgiving break. Enjoy the time off with your families. The following Monday, November 30, will be a PLC for planning upcoming events. The next normal troop meeting will be December 7 and there will also be the Sea Scout/Venturing Crew interest meeting for youth, 8th grade and up and their parents that night.

THANKS!
