Regular Troop Meeting- Friday, May 24 at 7:30
We will be having elections for the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s National Honor Society. This year, we have 14 scouts who are eligible for election. In order to have a valid election, 50% of registered scouts (21) must be present, so please make every effort to attend.
After that, in recognition of our performance at the Camporee, we will have a fun meeting of games and maybe some snacks
Please wear Class A uniform for the election. You can wear a Class B under it and change out of Class A after the election if you like
Flags on Graves- Saturday, May 25 at 10 am- Silver Mount Cemetery, 918 Victory Boulevard- see the attached flyer
We will be placing flags on veterans’ graves in honor of Memorial Day. We will also be assisting the cemetery in a project they are working on by taking photos of the graves, so please bring your phones.
