Monday, April 17th, 7PM – Troop meeting at PCUMC. We will start working on the Astronomy merit Badge. At this meeting the scouts will be given an assignment of the merit badge requirements that they will need to work on on their own. These requirements will need to be completed before the May camping trip if they intend to go on the May camping trip to Rainwater Observatory at French Camp, MS.
Saturday April 22nd – Ergon Picnic. The scouts will work setting up tables, running children’s booths, managing trash, and general flunky work. This is a fundraiser for the troop, and we will also get lunch in the bargain. Meet at 7AM at PCUMC in full Class A uniform. Have either the red or purple troop shirts either under your scout shirt or carry it with you. If we end up doing messy stuff, you will want to take your scout shirt off. We need the names of everyone who is going, so if you are not going to be at the troop meeting next Monday night (4/17) please call me and let me know.
