Calendar Updates
The PLC has decided NOT to have a troop meeting on Oct 31, Halloween.
The Troop Committee Meeting has been added to the calendar for Oct. 18 at 7pm.  If you have interest in the committee or just want to see how it works please join us.

Pictures have been posted of this past weekend's camp out on the "what we do" page.

For the Camporee this weekend we will meet at the chuch on Friday at 5:00 instead of 6:00 to avoid traffic from the Homecoming Parade.  Keep an eye on your email for more information

This weekend the council will be holding a winter clothing drive as a service project.  They will be collecting coats, scarves, hats, gloves and mittens, both new and gently used.  Look around your house, talk to your friends and neighbors, and lets help local families in need.  Keep a list of what your scout brings and how many hours he spends collecting items as this will count as community service.

As always, Have a great week!
