Court of Honor, PLC planning, and more

Court of Honor - Drive by:
We will have a drive by Court of Honor tonight in the church parking lot.  You will need to wear Class A uniforms.  It will start at 7 pm, but you can arrive up to 7:45 pm to receive your awards.  Below is a list of Scouts that are receiving awards at the Court of Honor.  If your name is not listed, since this is a drive by meeting, you do not need to attend.  We are trying to socially distance as much as possible.  As you drive up to the table, only the Scout and one parent can get out of the vehicle to pick up the awards and take pictures.

Scouts receiving awards tonight:
Alex R.
Anderson H.
Caden P.
Caleb C.
David S.
Elias E.                
Jackson B.        
James B.
John K.
Nicholas W.
Noah W.
Shane F.
Will W.
Zach B.

PLC Planning Meeting for Saturday 7/18:
At this point in the year, we plan for the next 18 months.  Using the form that you complete with your parents, this helps us decide what we will do as a troop.  The options have changed and more have been added as we can use the form to get a lot of information from the Scouts and parents about what type of program they want.  This might take some time to complete, so take a few minutes to look it over and complete this by Friday night.  We will be using this information at our PLC Meeting this weekend.  Your input is valuable and will help determine the programs that the PLC chooses to do.


Meeting 7/21:
Beginning Tuesday, we will have shorter troop meetings followed by Patrol Meetings.  This will allow the Patrol Leaders to develop leadership and they have some items that will be discussed at the meeting.  We will use the same link as the normal troop meeting, but only the Scouts who are part of the patrol will stay and have their meeting along with the adults to monitor the discussion.
Future Events:
