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

January 31, 2010
 
Everyone,

Tomorrow, February 1, will be the last day to sign up if you are planning on eating at the Troop Court of Honor, which takes place in Monday, February 8, at 6:30 PM. Those that will not be eating can still come of the court of honor. The menu this time will be tacos, chalupas, chips, drinks and cake. The cost and sign up form are on the calendar.

We will also be collecting cans for the yearly Scouting for Food event. Please get donations from your neighbors and bring the can to the Court of Honor. The food will be donated to the GRACE food pantry in Grapevine. If the troop turns in 1,000 cans we will have cookies and brownies at a troop meeting in March.

On Saturday, February 6, 2010, the National Scouting Museum in Irving will be hosting a 100 years of scouting birthday parting from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission is $1.00. The first 100 visitors will receive a commemorative patch. There will be some prizes awarded and cake. Click here for the flyer.

SPL speeches will take place at the next meeting on Monday, February 1. Those that have been nominated please come prepared to leave us spell bound with your oratory excellence. This meeting is also the last night to complete merit badges and rank advancements that you would like presented at next weeks Court of Honor. Those that have a board of review for Star or Life will need an Individual History report. Please send me note or call Mr. Barker to have one printed out for you.

THANKS!
