Scouting News January / February 2026
Thank you to everyone who supported the Troop during their fundraising efforts by purchasing wreaths and Christmas cookies! It was a challenge and fun at the same time.
The Cub Scout Pack has been on track earning their goals toward rank while mixing in some fun! They held their annual turkey shoot and learned about health and nutrition. At the beginning of the month, they worked on family traditions and then they all brought their family’s favorite Christmas treat to share at their Christmas party!
The Boy Scout Troop over the last month has completely cleaned out the paper garage, worked on giving the Scout Garage a facelift by scraping, painting and straightening it up, and putting on a new metal roof! It should last for years!! We are hoping to replace the garage door in the spring. They also made wreaths to sell. We had a lock-in where they not only decorated 350 of their own Christmas cookies to sell, but due to the heat being out and events being canceled, they also decorated 300 Christmas cookies that church Cross Training students were to decorate. They held their own Christmas party with a gift exchange and movie binge-watching! Finally, they are starting to polish up on scout skills in preparation for the Klondike Derby in January. They will also help with their District Dinner in January. In February, if the weather cooperates, they hope to do a Polar Bear at Auglaize Village, and will take part in the first Merit Badge Day hosted by their District!
The Troop extends their thanks to all who have dropped off pop cans and newspapers in the garage in the south parking lot. It not only helps with their conservation project of recycling but it has also helped with the cost of their activities. With the newspaper garage being totally clean, we are asking for everyone’s help by NOT putting in items we cannot recycle, like magazines, printer paper, and anything shredded. Please further help by putting your newspapers in paper sacks. You can ask for them at any grocery store.
Youth and adults are always welcome to attend Pack and Troop activities to learn more about our program. Any questions can be directed to Stephanie Sindel at 419-438-8268.
