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

April 9, 2010
 
Everyone,

I know the rescheduling of the Camporee has thrown off everyone's schedule, mine included, but we have to have more adults sign up if the boys are going to go to Camporee next weekend. We only have 2 adults signed up and I have to train the new OA Chapter Adviser on the callout ceremony for Saturday night and so I can't help run the fire building event. Also, we don't have enough seats to get all the scouts there. If you are planning on going, please sign up by Monday night. We still have to register and pay with the council.

As a reminder, we need help cleaning the trailer tomorrow morning, Saturday, from 9:00 - 11:00 AM. Basically we just need to set up the tents and make sure all the pieces are there and repack them up. We need to label some of the new tents as well. We also need to check and repack the cookware.

Next week will be busy with the regular troop meeting on Monday, the rescheduled committee meeting on Tuesday and the annual swim check on Thursday.

Have a great weekend.

THANKS!
 

Scott Purdy
