Everyone,

Hello everyone, sorry for not getting this out sooner. There just hasn't been any free time this week.

Journey to Bethlehem is being held at Memorial Baptist through December 7. The times for tomorrow and Sunday are 5:30 - 9:00 PM and Monday it is from 6:00 - 9:00 PM. I recommend going as early as possible. If you have never been, I can tell you that it is worth your time to go. If you can make it, please look for Toby Freyou and let him know you are with the Boy Scouts. The church works hard to put this on every year and there is no cost. Thanks to those that helped clean up the area around the bridge in the back to make the setting look nice. More information can be found on the church website.

All money from the sale of popcorn is due on Monday, December 7. Please have the money for Mr. Glen. We will have to write a check to the council for our share of the popcorn costs.

Also on Monday night is the Venturing Crew / Sea Scout interest meeting. This is for all the youth in the 8th grade and up. You are welcome to bring a friend or two that might also be interested. We will meet downstairs after the pledge. Parents are also encouraged to attend.

Mr. Gonzales will be leading the last part of the electronics merit badge at the same meeting. You should have your assignments from the last email message.

The event at Laser Quest is still on. There is a public lock-in that night, which means we don't have to have the required 30 paid folks. The troop will still cover the cost for adults that want to participate, but there will not be a charge for adults that just go to chaperone. The troop will be able to play in every other game from midnight to 6:00 AM, Saturday, December 19. Please meet at Laser Quest at 15 minutes before midnight on Friday, December 18. The troop will write a check for those that have paid before that date, everyone else will be responsible to pay Laser Quest directly that night. The troop will get one of the birthday rooms to hang out and keep stuff during the night.

The new dates for the electronics campout and the Webelos Open House have been confirmed by the church. They are Friday evening and Saturday January 8 and 9. We will meet at the church at 6:00 PM on Friday and should be done by 3:00 - 4:00 PM on Saturday. I will copy over the current signups to the new date on the calendar. If you had signed up and will not be able to attend on the new dates, please fill out the form to have yourself removed. New signups will also be accepted.

THANKS!
