This Week: Even though schools are off on Thursday (11/11), in order to ensure that the Troop stays on track with their meeting plans there WILL be a meeting this week.  Scouts will be reviewing map and compass skills and determining their pace in preparation for the Orienteering Course Challenge in Shannen Park (Date TBA).

Citizenship in Society: This MB has officially launched and will be required for Eagle beginning June 2022.  To learn more about this merit badge here are a few resources:

Scoutmaster Words of Wisdom:

• Bring your handbooks.

• Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranked Scouts should pick a requirement that has not yet been signed off and find the SPL or Troop Guide to sign off on these requirements.  If those Scouts are unavailable, find any of our Life Scouts for sign off.

• Life Scouts should start looking for Eagle Scout projects.  Also – start looking at those merit badges that take an extended period of time to complete and speak with SM Fedina about finding a MBC and getting started on them.  We have MBCs for most of the Eagle Required MBs in the Troop.

• Holiday Lock In is in the final planning stages – stay tuned for date and location!
