Everyone,

We have a busy meeting on Monday, February 15, 2010. First we will have the rescheduled OA elections. 1/2 of the troop must be present to have an elections. Second, we will have the runoff SPL elections. Currently the troop by-laws require 2/3 of the troop to be present to hold the election. This means we need everyone there. Next, we will have patrol leader elections, so you need to have your patrol present. Lastly, preparation for the Rocketry Campout will take place. Please join us for this busy meeting.

Current OA members can pay dues and receive a 2010 membership card at this meeting

There will be two service opportunities coming up for those that need hours and those that just want to help out. The first is Scouting for Food. This will take place on Saturday, February 27, from 9:00 AM until about noon. Please wear your normal field uniform (class A) for this event. This is a chance for those that did not bring any cans of food to the Court of Honor to help GRACE out. The second service opportunity will be to help with B. Stricklin's Eagle Scout project. This project will take place on Saturday, March 13, at Faith Christian School in Grapevine. We will be painting a classroom. The project will take place from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, so there are lots of service hours available.

Currently there are only 9 scouts and 2 adults signed up. We will be sending in a deposit to Camp Hale very soon to reserve our spots. If you are going you need to sign up this week!

THANKS!
