Pack 751 has asked for our help for their recruitment night at Mimosa Park on Friday, September 25 from 6:00-7:30 pm. Set up begins at 5:30 pm

There will be tables set up for current scouts & potential new cub scouts to visit, complete an activity with the cub scout den hosting each table. We have been asked to host 2 tables. We need 4-6 scouts (from the boys' and girls' troops) and 2-3 adults. All will be asked to wear masks and maintain distancing. 

Help us introduce scouting to new families, answer questions about what BSA is like, and keep our connection to the pack strong. 

*If your scout is registered with Circle 10 for this event, please go to the calendar on this website for Oct 3rd to register with us that you are signed up and if you are interested in camping overnight with T444 that night** We have some sites reserved at nearby Purtis Creek State Park and want to find out the interest among the merit badge attendees for camping overnight. More adult volunteers than typical may be needed due to scout requirements for transporting kids during covid times, so please list adults willing to camp and/or drive along with scouts.

High Adventure 2021 - Philmont - Our Troop has a reservation 7/11-7/26 for Philmont next summer for one boy crew and one girl crew each on their own trek.   You must be 14 years old before the trek.  Space is limited to 8-12 per crew.  Since Philmont was canceled this year due to COVID there is a lot of interest for next summer.  Please reserve your spot with Mr. Donovan ([email protected]) We have filled half of the spots.

Camping:  To maintain social distancing the troop will be moving to one scout per tent until further notice.  Scouts will be allowed to bring their own small tent on campouts.  The troop plans on purchasing addition 2-man tents for this purpose.  We will be ordering the two-scout version Taurus of our larger troop tents.  if you would like purchase your own tent through the troop.  Troop cost is $110 and include ground cloth. Please contact Mr. McClelland ([email protected]) by Sept. 14 and we will add you to the troop order.  https://www.alpsbrands.com/alpsmountaineering/products/tents/taurus-al-2
