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

April 1, 2010
 
Everyone,

As a reminder, Nicholas Corona is having his Eagle Scout Project this Saturday, April 3. Yes, it is April already. He could use some more help. The sign up sheet is on the web site. I know there are a number of scouts that need both service hours and non-troop meeting activities for rank advancement.

Ben Stricklin wrote a thank you note for those that helped him with his Eagle Scout Project and those in leadership that have helped him over the years. You will find a copy of the letter here.

There are lots of other things going on this month:
  • The annual swim test is in two weeks on April 15.
  • The District Camporee starts the following day, April 16.
  • The remaining balance for summer camp is due on April 19.
  • Merit badge selections for summer camp are due on April 19.
  • The Spring Canoe Race is April 24. Don't forget to attend the swim test.

THANKS!
