Recruiting Help Needed tomorrow 9/21 at Elon Park. Come in Uniform at 5:30pm. Would like a minimum of two scouts and a couple of troop adults. Should be about an hour of handing out fliers, talking about 502, and getting them to complete the sign in sheet. Pack parents are also attending, but they are still new to this.. Thank you!
Hope your weekend and summer were great! It’s that time of year again to get excited and decide what YOU want to do this year in Scouting!
At HUMC on Monday 9/4 @6:30 we will have the meeting to plan our year. Everyone NEEDS to bring 2 ideas for a monthly meeting topic and corresponding main event with suggestions for logistics (cost, campground, travel distance, other activities). Bring your school calendar. All PLC members are expected to attend and ALL SCOUTS who would like to have a say in what we do this year should attend. Also any parents who plan on attending some trips this it might be helpful to have you at the meeting as well, depending on your scheduling flexibility.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me directly (hesslukas@gmail.com) (scouts remember to include another adult as well), email the SM and/or ASM email address, or ask your SPL.

The rarely offered BSA Kodiak Challenge is being offered by the Mecklenburg County Council this fall. Kodiak is an application of the leadership training and skills you have learned in the Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST), S.E.A.L.S. and Top Gun / NYLT, and you need to have completed Top Gun prior to applying for Kodiak. This course is will encourage you to try new things that may be out of your comfort zone – a Scouting adventure that pushes the boundaries of every participant. This is not a troop activity.
