Headlands Trip Jan 15,16 2016

We have 3 adult chaperones for the Headlands trip on January 15 and 16. We still need at least one more driver who can pull the troop trailer and another chaperone who can drive and take up scouts. This is a super easy trip for a new volunteer if you haven't camped with us yet. It is indoors, and you get to sit on a couch and take in the beautiful view of Lake Superior in a heated home that the scouts like to call the mansion. The scouts are allowed to bring gaming systems and board games to keep them occupied. It's an indoor slumber party! 
Please contact me asap if you would like to attend as a chaperone. Additionally, please let me know if your scout plans to come. We need to get a count of people for food and transportation. Thanks!

Committee Meeting tonight!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a great holiday.

It is the first Sunday of the Month, so it's time to get back to business and plan some boy scout fun for 2016. 

Most urgent on the agenda is getting volunteers to go up to Headlands for the scheduled trip on January 15 and 16.  This is a super easy trip for a new volunteer if you haven't camped with us yet.  It is indoors, and you get to sit on a couch and take in the beautiful view of Lake Superior in a heated home that the scouts like to call the mansion.  We need one person to pull the trailer and 2-3 additional people to chaperone and drive up scouts.  The scouts are allowed to bring gaming systems and other things to keep them occupied and it's an indoor slumber party.  Please contact me immediately if you would like to attend.

Plan to attend tonights meeting to participate in decisions being made for the upcoming year.  6pm for scouts and 7pm for adults at Bagley hall.
