This Week: Thursday, March 3: Scouts will continue learning drywall repair.  Please wear your Class A uniforms for opening and closing but wear a Class B underneath for working with messy materials.  We look forward to welcoming back our visiting AOLs from Pack 169.

Community Service: St. Paul’s, who provides our meeting space, runs a warming station and is need of breakfast bag and other donations.  We need a Scout to take on coordinating a Troop 169 donation to this worthy cause.  Please visit Warming Station for more information as to dates and items needed.  The Scout taking this on should check our Troop calendar with Mr. Fedina and SPL Kristian M., then pick a date to collect our donations  (and send that information out to the Troop) and put together the breakfast bags, and then arrange for drop off of the breakfast bags.  This is a great opportunity for any Scout needing community service hours for rank advancement.
