We are still planning on leaving for Headlands tonight! Please try to be at Bagley hall by 5:00pm. We will leave as soon as everyone arrives and is packed. We won't leave anyone but please don't be late!!
I am unable to locate Health Forms for Christian, Paul, and Dominque. I will have forms there for you to fill out, but if you already have them filled out and can bring me a new copy that would be good.
This message is being passed on from BSA council members:
Attention all Boy Scout Leaders:

The Scout Slogan: Do a Good Turn Daily! Christmas time is upon us, Scouts and Leaders ! It's always our duty to follow the Scout Law, but especially at this time of year take time to give a little more of yourself to others. Be a little kinder, a little more thoughtful and lend a hand. Be good to your parents, and your siblings and show them how much that you care. One week until Christmas Eve, take a little time each day to do a good deed.
Headlands: Right after we get back from break the very first activity will be the Headlands trip on January 9 & 10. It's 2 nights. Please indicate below if you are willing to chaperone. We need about 3 adults.

Troop 1 appreciates our sponsor, Kiwanis Club of Gaylord for renewing our charter with Boy Scouts of America. At their meeting this morning they were grateful that our troop represented them in the recent Christmas parade, and Scoutmaster updated the club with a summary of our activities.
