Hello this is John Henry,

I have scheduled my Eagle Project on March 7th at 10:15 at St. Timothy's. We will be building shelving units and I need 6 or so volunteer Scouts. They should be prepared and bring gloves and safety glasses if they have them. Lunch will be provided. It should take 4 or 5 hours and may run into Sunday if needed.

Scouts & Scout Parents,

As mentioned in a previous email and at the Troop Meeting, the Troop will provide an opportunity for Scouts to earn money for their Scout accounts by selling Scout Fair tickets. The Hybargers will be coordinating that effort.

Here's the scoop... Older Scouts will be backpacking Friday 20th. They will embark on a late night stroll 7 or 8 miles from Nails Creak to set up camp. Get up Saturday 21st break down camp, hike around toward Birch Creek. Younger Scouts and new Worms will drive up to Birch Creek Camp early Saturday 21st. Then they will hiked in (2.5 miles) from Birch Creek and meet the "Trekers". We will join forces and hike back to Birch Creek camping area. Set up camp and enjoy the rest of the day. The Worms and younger Scouts will accomplish a 5 mile hike and get to see the "Trekers" in action. Sunday 22nd return to Houston. We need adults to lead both legs of this excursion. ( hinting ) Please feel free to ask Frank Sklenka SM or Bob Warner ASM any question about this camping opportunity.

Scouts,

There is an excellent opportunity soon to earn the Orienteering Merit Badge at a Houston Orienteering Club event. Several Scouts from our troop have attended this clinic in the past and really enjoyed it. The morning is spent learning and practicing the basics of orienteering. All the requirements for the merit badge will be covered in this clinic. The afternoon will feature a team competition employing map & compass skills to navigate through a course in the least amount of time. Lunch is included.
