Wood Chopping

Time to chop some more wood up.  We've recieved another donation of wood and I noticed the unchopped pile is getting bigger than the chopped pile.  We'll meet at the church at 7pm and then head over to the Kelsch's.  Don't forget gloves, closed toe shoes, and long pants.

Friends of Service

We have a service opportunity and our usual Wednesday activity this week.

1. The service opportunity is on Tuesday at 6:00 at the Hart's house.  This is for the whole family.  We'll be digging post holes for a neighbor's fence.
2. The Wednesday activity is a follow-up to our Friends of Scouting drive last week.  We need your support on this, so please come in full uniform.  We'll meet at the Church at 7:00.

Doubling Up

We have two events again this week:

First - Tuesday @ 6:00 PM at  14267 Trailview Way.  Please come prepared to work - we'll be helping the Wheeler family move into our Ward ... so long pants, closed toe shoes, etc.  This will count towards service hours for rank advancements.  Don't forget to bring your Dad!

Second - Wednesday @ 7:00 PM at the Church.  Scouts must be in Class A uniforms for this.  Dads can come too to help drive.  We'll be going door to door in pairs for Friends of Scouting.  I believe the routes are pretty short this year.

Busy Week

UPDATED TUESDAY - SEE BOLD TEXT

We have a couple things going on this week:

1. On Tuesday at 6:30 pm we will be meeting at the Hyatt's (6367 Rodeo Way) for the annual BBQ and Swim Party combined activity.  Bring your swim suit and your appetite (no uniform necessary).  For Deacons assigned to bring chips, there are three tubes of Pringles and a bag of Ruffles left over from camp that I will be bringing.
2. On Wednesday at 6:00 pm we will be meeting at the Church for a special occasion - Ryker Kelsh's and Cameron Moon's Eagle Courts of Honor.  The Boy Scouts will be providing the color guard for it (I'll pull some boys aside on Tuesday for this) and full class A uniforms are required.  Please come and celebrate these two young men who have worked so hard to achieve the highest youth Boy Scout award.

Under the Weather

I've been ill since late Sunday and entirely delinquent in my Scoutmaster duties this week.  Hopefully the boys were able to enjoy some basketball earlier tonight as the combined activity (BBQ & Pool Party) was rescheduled from today to next Wednesday.  Unfortunately, this also overlaps with the Ryker Kelsch and Cameron Moon Eagle Court of Honor.

I'll discuss this challenge with the other advisers since the Boy Scouts (12-13) are expected to provide the flag ceremony at that Cour of Honor.  Look for an update later this week or early next.
