Troop 140

Our December event is a lock-in on Friday, December 3.

Our next event is a trip to Gardner Dam scout camp in eastern Wisconsin with a day trip to the Packer Hall of Fame and a tour of Lambeau Field. We’ll leave Friday, November 12, returning Sunday. This will be our last tent camping event of the year. Please get your permission slips and payments in by November 1.

our junior leader training for the recently appointed leadership team on Saturday, November 6, from 1:00 to 5:00 at Bethel Lutheran.

Next up on our agenda is a court of honor at 6:15 on Monday, November 1. Everyone please plan to attend and bring a potluck dish.

The Wilderness survival permission slip has been linked to the website. It will be due on Monday.

Salesmanship Merit Badge will begin at 6:30 PM on October 4. If you have not completed this merit badge it is very easy since many of the aspects of selling wreaths fulfill many of the requirements.

Scouts are reminded that you have just one week left in your wreath selling territory. If you have not started selling, I would recommend that you do so. One of the other troops is selling wreaths in Hudson. I will be asking for your total sales number as of Monday night. A prize for the most sold each week will be awarded!

Parents of our volunteers need to do two things:

2. Have your boys at Bethel for a 10:00 AM departure. If that presents a problem, please contact one of the adults above.

This is also a great opportunity for families:
If you would like to attend the open house, please do. Details can be found on the basecamp website -> http://www.basecamp2010.org/
