The History of the B.S.A Part 1

Suggested List of things for the Troops!

Here is a Suggested list of things to bring to the Court of Honor on Sunday for the gift box to the Troops:

Magazines
Hard candy
Suduko Books/ Crossword Puzzles
Hard Candy
Books (soft bound)
Baby wipes
Crystal Light drink mix
Red vines
Home made cookies
Playing cards
AA Batteries
Hard candy (NO CHOCOLATE)
Personal Letters to the Troops.

The Soldiers over there have access to the exchange system, so they can purchase most items... gettting them in a gift box from home lets them know that we care and are thinking about them.
This list is short and based on what we liked when I was there.
Anything from home is a good idea.  If you think of something the Troops might like.. add it to the list and bring it to the Court of Honor on Sunday.  We will be boxing it all up and sending to the Soldiers that are currently serving in Iraq.  Did I mention Hard candy?

Have a Great Scouting Day!

Happy Thanksgiving

I would like to wish the Troop 664 family a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Count your blessings.. we have many.
Have a Great Thanksgiving!

Be ready for a great Camp out at Meriwether

We will be leaving the Knights Hall at 7:00 PM on Friday night... So don't be late.
We are staying in Adirondack Shelters so camp set up will be a breeze.
Be prepared.. Wet and Cold seem to be what we can expect, but that's the Oregon Coast for you.
I am looking forward to getting back out there this month.. it's going to be a great camp out.
Leave No trace and Winter camping are the skills we will be working on while down on the coast.

See you Friday!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

We will be posting the whole plan on the big board in the Knights Hall as well as keeping the plan updated on this site.
Of note, to support the plan, dues have been reduced... yes I said REDUCED to $150 for the year.
The Treasurer will be getting with everyone to discuss the options and what is currently in the Scout accounts.
