Troop 4 Grapevine, Texas   Troop 4 gratefully acknowledges the contributions of its Adult Leaders who make our activities possible.

January 16, 2010
 
Everyone,

There is a change of plans for one of the merit badge college classes. After reading the requirement in more detail and after talking to me, Mr. Ganucheau suggested that we might want to wait on the American Business merit badge. The last requirement is for the scout to run a business for 3 months. Although not impossible, this requirement may not be feasible for too many scouts right now. Mr. Ganucheau will still work with any youths that would like to start the merit badge. As a replacement for Monday, he will instead be teaching the Fingerprinting merit badge. Please bring a workbook if you want to work on this one. You do not need a merit badge book for this class, just the workbook. Citizenship in the World will also be taught on Monday. A book and the workbook is recommended for it.

I downloaded all the current merit badge workbooks yesterday and put them on the troop site. When you click the name of the merit badge in the list, you will get the latest version.

Mr. Carter has been working on adding the troop to Facebook and Twitter. If you would like to use those sites for troop updates and information, please click on the icons towards the top of the left-hand navigator. These are still in the early stages of development and may be changing.

THANKS!
