ILST Training

SPL Carter and PL Logan completed an expedited ILST training on Saturday. Thanks to Mr. Eastlack for attending as the second adult.

Camporee Results

We ran two patrols in the Camporee Events. Our three older Scouts competed as a Veteran Patrol while our newest five Scouts competed as a New Patrol. The Phoenix patrol brought home two first-place, one second-place, and two third-place ribbons in the various events and a third-place overall. We had a fair bit of rain on Saturday night, and as we packed up Sunday morning, but overall the boys had a good time. Hopefully, everyone has their gear laid to dry.

Backpacking Trip

On November 7-9, we have our backpacking trip to Montgomery Bell. There will be a backpack inspection at the November 4th meeting, so please bring your pack ready to go. Everyone should have two 32-oz water bottles (at least one wide-mouth Nalgene type). The Scouts will be in Adirondack shelters, so tents aren’t needed. (Adults will tent or hammock near the shelter.) Scouts who don’t have a backpack may be able to borrow one from the Troop, and also water bottles.

Popcorn Reminder

In-person sales are completed, but online purchases can still be made through Dec 2nd. If you are interested in continuing to sell, please let Mrs. Trott know.
