Don’t forget to feed your scout dinner before dropping them off at Toby tubby tonight for the campout. Benjamin Stepp Scoutmaster

Hello everyone again, Sorry for all the emails today, I have had the flu and not been doing anything, if you didn’t get a response to an email it’s most likely because I didn’t look over the weekend and only sent emails out. Anyway, Scout Sunday will be January 25th this year. We will do nearly the same thing as last year. We will be making chili as a thank you to the church for hosting us. We will also attend the service on Sunday the 25th. Jason, and I will be working with our youth leadership to get out assignments for the day. Scouts who attend will also get 2 hours of service hours, and a Scout Sunday Patch. Scouts will need to be in full Class A with a great attitude.
Thanks Benjamin Stepp Scoutmaster.

For the campout this weekend, Drop off will be at Toby Tubby BSA camp Located at 589 County Road 100, Oxford, MS 38655 <www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=ed0df956b2671564c8fb3e59c88daa8b4ae4e49e823d56933096af2060956314JmltdHM9MTc2ODI2MjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=3b6ccddc-9fb0-69ae-23e9-dcff9e2f6886&u=a1L21hcHM_Jm1lcGk9MH5-RW…>. Have the boys dropped off between 5:30 PM and 6:30 Pm and please make sure to feed your scout dinner before they get there. We will only have a simple snack before lights out Friday night.

Hello everyone, Just to keep you up to date February 7-8 we will have our ski trip. We will be leaving early on the 7th and heading just north west of St Louis. We stop at lamberts (home of the throwing rolls) for lunch. We usually get to the resort around 3ish and then ski till midnight. We visit the arch on Sunday and return around 5 or 6 pm that day. The cost is 200$. This covers gas, rentals, food and lodging. We consider food as lamberts lunch, dinner, and lunch Sunday. All drinks at stores and snacks are on the boys. The boys will need snow pants, a good winter jacket that is waterproof, longjohns, winter gloves, and hats. Do not send you scout in Cotten or denim to ski in. Cotten and denim get wet and you can’t dry that out.
We need to know asap on whether your scout is going. Thanks Benjamin Stepp Scoutmaster

We need to know by Monday who will be attending the campout this month. The cost is 20$. For scouts 1st class and above it is required. We want the younger scouts to attend as well. Benjamin Stepp Scoutmaster

Monday is the deadline for MB classes to be turned into us. DO NOT sign up on your own. The district wants us to sign up as a troop. Before we can put your scout in for the MB college you will need to send the troop the MB college fees.

Hello All, I hope everyone has had a very Merry Christmas, and will be having a happy new year. We will be having our first meeting back on January 5th. Regular time, the Meeting will start at 6:30 and end at 8:00pm. Uniform is Class A. We will have the spring schedule out for you within this week, in the meantime just a few reminders of what’s upcoming in January. Jan 5 Meeting Jan 12 Meeting Jan 17 and 18 ILST campout. Everyone first class and above needs to be at this campout. It will be local probably at Toby Tubby. It is very important the Scouts who attended NYLT this past August are present as they will be teaching sections of the training for the boys. The scouts below first class are more than welcome to attend as ILST is mandatory for having a leadership position. Jan 19 No Meeting (MLK Day) Jan 26 Meeting.
