Every scout deserves a trained leader. Green Bar has 38 participants in six patrols who are taking the opportunity to learn scout skills to bring back to their units. 30 scouters and 15 youth staff have joined together to help guide the participants through the course. The 1st weekend was a great success, now, in 3 weeks, back to work for the 2nd weekend.

It's back to school time and a very busy upcoming couple of months for our units. It's a great time to recruit your friends to Scouting. If you know anyone who has expressed interest in some of the fun activities that you do, please invite them to a meeting and we can get them more information.

Yearly Plan: The PLC met on Sunday, 8/4 for an extended meeting in order to plan the next 18 months events. The PLC decided that due to the time conflict between the Arts in the Alley Parade and the campout at Flight 93, that they would postpone the trip to Flight 93. The Troop plans to march in the Arts in the Alley Parade on 9/21. I am including a link to the next 18 months events so that you can put these dates on your calendars.

New Scout Campout: The New Scout Campout was a great success. There were 17 participants, 12 youth and 5 adults from both Troop 136 and 7136. The experienced scouts did a great job of leading the new scouts in packing the trailer, unpacking the trailer, setting up a kitchen, cooking meals, cleaning up after meals, tearing down the campsite, loading the trailer, unloading the trailer into the shed. This weekend was dedicated to getting the scouts together so that they can learn about each other, learn how to function on a campout and to work on their Scout rank. We have a few more requirements to complete to finish up the Scout rank but the weekend was a great success.

Flower Guarding / Aviation Merit Badge: Great job scouts and scouters. There were 11 scouts and 5 scouters who came out to help watch the flowers for the Ladies of Gantz. 7 scouts and 3 scouters stayed overnight but some had to leave to get up early and attend the Aviation Merit Badge at the OSU Airport. 9 scouts and 4 scouters attended the Aviation Merit Badge which was a great turn out for this event. One scout attended the Merit Badge College to work on merit badges.
