Wednesday Newsletter

Hi Folks,
Thanks to all who helped with last
night's meeting. Once again, lots of important stuff in this
newsletter.
As everyone should know, it's
Sights and Sounds again. We'll be out there cooking those
funnel cakes. The weather forecast is good so we should have an
excellent weekend. If you're working, remember to sign in and
out and remember to wear a hat. If you're not working, stop by
and say hi.
This Sunday we'll be having our
organizational meeting for Venture Crew 1954. This is an
opportunity for older scouts to really control their own groups
and to do more exciting high adventure stuff. I'm looking at it
as a way to keep our older kids involved and making progress on
advancement and leadership skills. It will also help us focus
our attention on making sure our younger scouts really have
their scout skills down pat. Scouts age 14 and up are eligible
for Venture Crew membership. If you're interested, please be
sure to be at our meeting, Sunday, 3:00 at the Scout Hut.
As always, the Troop 1954 events
calendar, this and all back newsletters, and all sorts of other
useful information is available on our website at
www.sanmarcos1954.org The Wednesday Newsletter is the
official record of Troop 1954 and serves as minutes for all
troop and committee meetings.

notes: 1) you get
half a point for wearing a "class B" on a "class
A" night
2) We're adding a category for the evening's
contest (whatever it may be). We'll see how it
works.
3) We'll try another new rule...especially
because we have reduced summer attendance. In
case of tie, the patrol with the largest number
of people attending gets the award.
Note: Scouts with more than three consecutive
misses will not be counted against patrol
attendance scores. Such scouts
are not
removed from their patrols. They are simply not
counted for attendance points until they
return. Also note that when all patrols score
the same on a category, it doesn't matter what
they score. |
