Scout Sunday was in February. The Troop and Pack worked together to celebrate Scouting. They took part in the church service carrying in flags, a short reading about Scouting and then celebrated at the Blue and Gold Banquet. They also be worked together on the Soup and Sandwich Lenten Supper in February.
The Cub Scout Pack helped out with “A Night to Shine” by making several posters to decorate the hall. Lots of color and creativity! They are continuing to work on their ranks through earning achievements in their dens.
The Pack extends a thank you to all who have helped with their pop tab collection in the barrel in the cafeteria. The tabs are recycled to help the Ronald McDonald House, which helps families with sick children in hospitals. The Pack continues to help with worn-out flags by collecting them in their flag box in the south lobby by the coat rack. Both the Cub Scout and Boy Scout Troop have participated in flag retirement ceremonies to dispose of the worn-out flags in an honorable manner.
The Boy Scout Troop took 5th place in the Klondike race in January, our best finish in the last few years. We had an election and a Court of Honor at the Blue and Gold Banquet. We also welcomed Damon Mekus to the Troop. As March rolls in, so does Scouting for Food! They will be passing out flyers and the following weekend picking up food. Tea and coffee sales have already started; see Chris to order! The Troop was awarded 2nd place in the Council for popcorn sales. At the end of March, they will be helping out with the Barbershop Show at the auditorium, ushering for both shows. We are hoping for little rain in April because we will begin camping! We hope to attend the Conservation Camporee at Camp Lakota and camping and helping with concessions at Auglaize Village’s WW II reenactment.
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. 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.
