January 2020

Hi!  Many of our Scouts will be enjoying a four day weekend coming up.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Campout:
There were eight Scouts and three adults who traveled to Camp Manatoc for the weekend.  We camped in a nice cabin called "Gilwell" with heat on Friday night and traveled to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday morning.  We spent the day on Saturday at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and ate lunch on the benches outside of the location.  I was quite surprised by the number of items from thousands of artists.  Every Scout had something different that they liked about the museum, even something as simple as stickers were fun.  Everyone really enjoyed this trip.  However, the high winds during the day on Saturday caused us to lose power during the day and it came back on during the night to provide us with some heat and we were grateful.   Here is the link for the photos of the trip:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/iKPG7fpJWUjxSbzY9

Here is a reminder about what to bring tomorrow night for the potluck:
Blackhawks - Main Dish
Blue Blazes - Dessert
Dragons - Side Dish

Meeting Plan:
Ian Ba will be the MC of the Court of Honor.  Here is the schedule:
7:00 - Flag ceremony
7:05 - Introductions and prayer and begin eating
7:40 - Friends of Scouting presentation
7:50 - Begin the Court of Honor
8:20 - Finish the Court of Honor
8:20 - 8:30 Cleanup 

Cleanup:
Before each Scout leaves, the folding chairs need to be put away, the tables need to be put away and the grey soft padded chairs need to be setup as four rows of about 7 rows.  This takes about 10-15 minutes with everyone is helping.

Friends of Scouting Presentation:
We will have a presentation regarding the Friends of Scouting fundraiser.  Please plan to bring a check or money to donate.  I donate every year.  I hope you consider donating as well this year.  Our council will probably make some tough decisions very soon about closing camps and those decisions will be based on the amount of money raised during the Friends of Scouting donations this year.
