Fall can be a busy time for our troop! We have our monthly campouts but we also do annual planning, choosing a summer camp, a court of honor, elections and this year we could start fundraising? Keep an eye on the calendar and the eblast so you know what's coming!
Scouts:
When was the last time you took a look at the rank requirements pages of your scout handbook? If it's been a while, I invite you to take a look at what requirements you need to rank up one level and make a plan to get there. Coming to as many scout meetings and campouts is a built-in way to get lots of requriements done. You probably have some that you've already completed but just need to get signed off! There are also plenty of requirements you can prepare for by reading your scoutbook or complete at home. Scouting is an active activity that takes committment and action.
Winter Camp is offered at Lost Pines. This can be a great opportunity to earn some merit badges. Troop 4443 is not officially attending but you can attend as a provisional scout. Special thanks to the Kallusch Family for sharing the following information.
Now is the time to start registering for Winter Camp! This is an excellect camp for those that like camping in cold weater and a great way to earn merit badges. This is not a troop event, so what usually happens is a couple adults volunteer to take scouts that would like to go.
Scouts will be making color-coded neckerchief woggles this Sunday during the troop meeting. A scout's woggle color is determined by the amount of camping nights they have done. In preparation for this activity, please watch this video ahead of the meeting: https://youtu.be/jOlbkSbbaSc
