Eagle
News!!! Ansel Carson has completed
his Board of Review. Congratulations to our aspl and soon to be
Eagle Ansel !
Chris Finley has his Eagle project
underway. See note from Chris on his need for donations to get it
rolling.
Hi my name is Chris Finlay. I am a Boy Scout with Troop 369 in Tyler TX. I am about to start my Eagle Scout project which is refurbishing the abandoned scout hut at First Presbyterian Church in Tyler. I plan to restore the outside of the hut so that it is not such a huge eyesore and looks welcoming. I will also create usable inside. When completed, the former scout hut will appear safe and welcoming. As part of doing the project I must raise the money for the project which is about $1100. I am asking for donations of any amount to help me reach my goal. Any checks made out to Troop 369 will be tax deductible.
Philmont HIke is cancelled for today! Check your email from Advisor Hibbs:
Jamboree: I will be reviewing your applications Monday for Jambo 2013. Want to go? Sign up on bsa.org site, print your app and bring to me for approval. Do not procrastinate, cause the places are going fast. pw
Physicals, Food Fund need to be updated. Pull your records or check Monday Night. Food Fund 100 per year or quarterly. Physicals every year. Check with Dr. Carson
Special Adult Training: Face to face Youth Protection training is now a Texas State Mandate. If you are going to camp please check for email from me on schedule of Training.
Merit Badge Courses for Summercamp: I will l be sending Camp participants email on MB choices next week. These must be back to me asap so we can get the Mb's that you need. FCT will be under the direction of Ms Cece so she will decide for you at this first camp.
