Hello Troop 1!
What a great Service Project
today! It started off a little damp, chilly, and
windy but in no time at all Troop 1 was forging ahead
and heated up and did such a wonderful job, the
Botanist Jay Walker excused the boys around 12:30pm.
For those of you who missed the opportunity today, we
were asked to come back and put the final touches on
the trails prior to the September Centennial
event. Also, in September we were asked to be present
to usher those visitors and to educate them on the
various trees, plants, and surroundings that are so
precious to this area.
It was very informative, I
along with the boys learned a lot about the Botanical
Garden, and the planning which is underway for this
international draw to our community. Many Eagle
Projects were identified at this gathering for some of
our Life Scouts to pursue! I would like thank KellyJo
Rickman for giving us a heads up on this unique and
worthy opportunity. I would also like to thank
Michael Jones for heading up this effort, and also all
of you Scouts and Scouters who braved the weather and
left a very positive Troop 1 footprint throughout the
grounds.
Monday 16- Regular
Meeting- 7:00pm First Presbyterian
Church, please be aware of your advancement
requirements. Cut off date for
advancement being recorded by Mr. Wheeler is

advancements need to notify Mr. Wheeler no later

Camp Garland will be hosting this campout. We will
follow the Patrol Method. Each Patrol will need to

will compete against other troops, be teaching merit
badges, getting merit badges, and working on
advancement skills for all of those Scouts who need
to complete requirements. We will dress in
our full Class A's for the Opening and Closing
Ceremonies. If you do not have a new neckerchief
you need to see me.
Sunday 29- Fifth Sunday
Ushering at First Presbyterian- 10:00am- Zach
Rowland will be in charge of this service
to the church. We need several volunteers (Scouts
and Scouters) to usher at the church on Sunday
morning. We will excuse you early from the Camporee
if you volunteer to usher. See Zach
if you can help out with this very
important service to the church.
On a final note, if you are
going to Camp Tom Hale you need to get in your
$100.00 deposit and communicate with Dr. Stotler/Mr. Keeling and
select your merit badges you wish to get.
See you Monday night!
Yours in Scouting,
Sam Arndt
