Our canoe trip this weekend has been canceled due to tropical storm Ophelia !

She sinks.  She sinks in holy sadness.  Like an Ophelia in tears she sinks...

At this weeks troop meeting please remember the following:

• if you are in the service patrol arrive by 7:15 to help with setup
• bring your scout books so they can be updated and entered into the computer
• return any tent you took home to clean
• return all tarps.  currently we have no tarps on the trailer.  That means there are about 15 tarps at your homes.

See you all Tuesday!

Are you ready for the fall! Its time to ramp up our scouting season and hit the rivers and trails!

Tuesday is our first troop meeting in September.  Class A uniforms please.  

This fall we have some great events planned. 

• In September we plan on paddling down the Susquehanna River. 
• In October the troop will be attending the Lafayette District Camporee up at Delmont. Experience competition in scout craft including things like the two handed saw.
• In November it will be our annual return to East Greenville for games and cooking.
• Throughout the fall you will have opportunities to provide service and help the community with Eagle projects and scouting for food

I look forward to seeing everyone refreshed from summer and ready to go!

No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way. Robert Baden-Powell

Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

Join the troop as paddle down the mighty Susquehanna River.  We will camp at a commercial campground on Friday night.  Saturday morning we will head to the outfitter for a brief training video and transportation upstream.  We will paddle all day Saturday and have lunch on the trail... Saturday evening we will paddle in to our campground and prepare dinner.  on Sunday morning we will continue the journey south and disembark at the outfitter lodge.  

This Tuesday begins our three part series on Leadership Skills for Scouts.  All Youth with a Position of Responsibility are expected to attend. During the next three meetings we will work on team building skills, positive leadership models and servant leadership.  If you are a patrol leader or hold any troop leadership position these meetings will help shape your experience over the coming year..

August spelunking trip to Laurel Caverns is set tot take place August 11-13.  This is a once in a scouting career opportunity.  Its a far distance but its an amazing day.  Laurel Caverns is one of the few places in the state of PA that can offer a true spelunking experience.

Currently we have only 2 adults signed up for the trip.  i need additional adults that are willing and able to climb down into the caverns.  The current policy is that we need 2 registered adults over the age of 21 to travel with the scouts in order for them to participate in the full spelunking experience.
