FALL CAMPOREE

The Northern District Fall Camporee will be held October 12th to 14th at Camp Petosega.

Camp Petosega is located in Emmit county between Petoskey and Alanson.

To start our planning for this outing, Troop 1 needs at least one more TRAINED and REGISTERED adult leader for the outing. Other adult leaders interested in attending Fall Camporee are also welcome.

The theme for Fall Camporee is Troop Hosted games. Each Troop will stage a game for other Scouts to participate in. Great fun.

Troop 1 Scouts have a tentative plan to host a sling shot range as their game. This game has been very popular at past outings.

Adults and Adult Leaders, please contact Mrs. Savory or Mr. Neff to sign up for the Fall Camporee.

Fall Court of Honor

Troop 1 will be holding their Fall Court of Honor on September 30th from 4:00 PM until 7:00 PM. The Court of Honor will be held at the Livingston Township Hall. The youth present will be receiving their merit badges and rank advancements earned over the past 6 months. All new officers of the troop will also be inducted into office.
Dinner will be held with the troop committee providing Ham and Turkey along with Coffee and Fruit Punch. Families are asked to bring a LARGE dish to pass. Last names starting with the letters A thru M are asked to bring Vegetables or Side Dishes. N thru Z will be bringing Deserts. All families should also bring Table Servings including silverware. Drinking cups for the coffee and punch will be provided.

Dirt Lessons

This article is about Adam Craig teaching seven scouts how to ride bikes safely on the trails. He teaches them how to turn safe, ride safe and stop safe. He teaches the importance of wearing a helmet to protect your head. He teaches that when riding downhill you should pulse your brakes. I think this is a good article for any scout to read.
