This past Troop meeting we conducted Order of the Arrow (OA) elections. Bet you are wondering what the OA is all about. In short, I can't tell you. Let me explain. 

Note that Clarks Eagle Project Workday originally scheduled for September 25th has been postponed. Clark will provide an update when it's rescheduled. 

We will be having a very important Parent/Committee meeting on Thursday at 7:00pm. At this meeting we will be discussing Troop dues for 2022. We are getting close to Recharter season and need to finalize dues as soon as possible. Hope to see most of you there on Thursday. Zoom information will be sent out on Thursday.

All scouts should plan to attend Monday's meeting to participate in the Order of the Arrow election process. We need as many scouts as possible to be there to vote. Mrs Smiecinski will also be working with you on Backpacking preparation and meals. 

The Court of Honor

All Scouts should know that there are 4 steps to advancement. A Scout learns, is tested, is reviewed and is recognized. The Court of Honor, or COH, is the opportunity for the Troop to recognize and celebrate scouts for all their hard work. The Troop aims to conduct 4 COH's per year. The Committee is responsible for scheduling COH's and finding a venue. The Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) is responsible for the program.

My name is Annemarie Read (wife of Dave Read, Scoutmaster of Troop 19). I have two eagle scouts and though both boys have aged out, I still enjoy teaching merit badges J
