Eagles on the Rise

Belated congratulations to Josh W. on successfully completing his Eagle Board of Review and officially achieving the rank of Eagle! Job well done, Josh!  On behalf of the entire Troop, we are all very proud of you! 

Good luck to Alexander H. as he prepares to sit for his Eagle Board of Review next week.                    

Summer Camp Blue Cards

If your Scout attended virtual Summer Camp, please forward your Blue Cards to Chris Kappeeser at chris.kappesser@gmail.com, if you have not already done so.  We want to make sure that everyone receives credit for the completion, or partial completion, of any merit badge classes they may have taken.  We do not have access to a roster of the Scouts who participated in the virtual Summer Camp, so it is up to you to send those records to Chris.

Troop Swim Test (8/2)

We will conduct the BSA swim test for all youth and adults who did not complete the swim test on the July camp out. Those wishing to participate in any water activities over the course of the next 12 months will first need to have completed the BSA swim test. This includes any siblings or parents who anticipate joining us in any of those activities.

In light of current state guidelines, we will be limiting the group sizes to 10 or less.  If you have already taken the test, please DO NOT sign up.
