Sportsplex Lock-in

What a night!

Troop 1 hosted a very successful Sportsplex Lock-in. Over 250 scouts and 40 adult leaders had a great time bowling, swimming, ice skating playing games and winning door prizes.

Special thanks to all the adult leaders from other Troops who pitched in to help us get through the night.

The final report was that no piazzas, chips, or dough nuts survived the event.

If you have pictures, please email them to Troop 1.

Klondike Derby Belated Update

Congratulations to the Troop 1 Klondike derby patrol. A good time was had by all despite the temperature was below 10 degrees all day.

The patrol was six points shy of winning the derby and getting the privilege of hosting the event in 2007.

Pack 1 and Pack Webelos also had good showings. The fearless Oak Tree acted as the Pack 1 guide for the derby.

If anyone has pictures, email them to Troop 1 and they may get posted.
