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

February 28, 2010
 
Everyone,

We had four new scouts join Troop 4 at the cross-over ceremony on Friday night. Please seek out these young men and their parents and welcome them to the troop.

Mr. Ganucheau would like to remind everyone to be working on their Fingerprinting Merit Badge workbook. You should be able to finish tomorrow night, Monday, March 1, 2010, if you come prepared. Mr. Ganucheau provided a document for helping with the workbook. Follow this link to down load the History of Fingerprinting.  Those taking the Citizenship in the World Merit Badge should also be working on your workbook for that.

Mr. Chatoney and others have sent in a flyer for an opportunity to work on the Coin Collecting Merit Badge on Saturday, March 27, 2010 at the Fort Worth Convention Center. If you are interested, please see the American Numismatic Association Workshop Flyer. Please note that this is the same day that we will be delivering mulch.

Please look ahead on the calendar for updated events. I added several items through July after the last PLC. August updates will be posted this week.

As a reminder, we will be sending off the deposit for both Philmont and Camp Hale within the next two weeks. Please send in your deposit. Thanks to those that have already gotten them in.

THANKS!
