Life to Eagle Workshop
September 23, 2012

ATTENTION ALL LIFE SCOUTS! If you and your parents haven’t attended a Life to Eagle Workshop there’s another one coming up. The workshop answers questions about the Eagle Project Workbook, what qualifies as an Eagle project, and gives tips and hints about things to look out for as you work towards Eagle!

Flyers are available. Sign up directly with the Council -- space is limited so sign up soon.

Sign Up Early, Sign Up Often

With the size of the Troop growing, it is even more important that we have early and accurate count of who is going on the outings. Please sign up as soon as possible when permission slips come out.

Accurate counts don’t just affect buying the food. Camp site selection, drivers, tour permits, activities can all be affected by the number of people on the outing.

Adults Needed

We need adults willing to work with a scout to coordinate an outing. You do not have to attend the outing, but help the scout with things like making reservations. Outings Needing Adults: November (Creep-o-Ree) and December (Roller Skating)
