Troop 140

On Wednesday, February 2, from 5:00-6:00 PM, the Hot Affair committee has requested troop 140's help with "stuffing" bags for participants with informational flyers. There will be pizza and pop afterwards for all who help.

We need at least one adult and as many scouts that would be available to help, as we are the only group that are available to help this year. There will be a sign up sheet at scouts on Monday, or contact Mr. Meincke.

Here is a photo of Eric, Jacob, and Tyler at the Klondike Derby this past weekend. They took 3rd place in the geochaching event!

All scouts that are not first class rank should bring scout books every week. Those that are first class or beyond, bring them if you have something to sign off, possibly from just having completed an EDGE training activity at a recent camp out (hint, hint).
Reminder, we have a court of honor Monday, January 17. This will also be our Christmas party which got snowed out in November. Scouts to be there at 6:00. Owl patrol scouts are cooking ravioli and spaghetti under supervision of Mr. Green. Jackalope patrol scouts are setting up room for dinner (and decorating??). Owls bring sides/salads; Jackalopes bring desserts. Skits and songs are in order!
Sun, Jan 30 - Still a few spots open to help with Pack 211 pinewood derby. Bring your old cars!
Tues, Feb 8 - Next PLC, 5:30.
Feb 11-13 - Cabin at Phillipo Scout Camp and a trip to the Spam Museum in Austin, MN. I need a second adult to sign up. You'll have a great time!
Mar 18-20 - Cabin at Tomahawk with day trip to Hayward, WI. I need a second adult to sign up. You'll have a spectacular time!
April 22-24 - U.S. Grant Pilgrimage in Galena, IL. I need a second adult to sign up. You'll have a fantastic time and probably have the opportunity to confiscate several pocket knives during the weekend!

The Seabase crews and parents will have a brief status meeting tomorrow, Monday, January 3, at 6:30 pm.
The rescheduled Christmas party will be combined with our court of honor scheduled for January 17.

Sunday, January 30, we’ll be helping with the Pack 211 pinewood derby.
We’ve reserved a cabin at Phillipo Scout Camp for our February outing which includes a trip to the Spam Museum.

Steve Wilcox offered the following suggestion for an Eagle Project. There are at least 13 Hudson’s in the U.S.; a sign in front of the library or in Lake Front park including the direction and distance to those 13 Hudson’s would be quite an attraction. Steve has bounced this idea off the Daybreak Rotary Club with considerable support so even making a couple 3 of these and placing them around town could be a possibility. Funding through Rotary is also a possibility for this.
