2017 Calendar

The Calendar is UP! Pick up a printed copy at the troop meeting or find it on the Troop website. Put the dates into your calendars now!

Parents, there are still opportunities to help coordinate outings.

Boy Scout Advancement Updates

If you are still on the OLD requirements you have until December 31, 2016 to finish the rank you are currently working on (working on Tenderfoot, Second Class or First Class under the old requirements you can finish up through First Class). After December 31, 2016 you will automatically switch to the new rank requirements -- there may be additional requirements for you to finish!

Mr. Landquist will be talking with the scouts that are still on the Old Requirements this month.

Court of Honor & FOS Presentation
January 7, 2017 - 2 pm

It’s time to recognize all those scouts that have earned advancement in the last six months. The January Court of Honor will be January 7, 2017 at 2 pm at St. John Neumann (in the lower hall). Watch your email for more information.

We will also have our 2017 Friends of Scouting Presentation and Pledge Drive at that time. Help the Council provide support for the Troop’s program. There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes support we get from Potawatomi Area Council -- Camp Long Lake, professional scouting expertise, the Scout Shop, activities such as Creep-o-Ree and Troop Shoot, and much more.
