In 2011, the Quality Unit Award was changed to the Journey to Excellence award. The Journey to Excellence is the BSA's performance recognition program designed to encourage and reward success and measure the performance of Units. It is meant to encourage excellence in providing a quality program for the youth in the Unit.

The Eagles are honor patrol, and the BST's are greeting the newest members of the troop at the door (and everyone else).

We'll be having a patrol competition. Then after that we'll do the spring merit badges and trail to first class.

There will be guests in the basement, so we need to keep the noise level down!!!

Bring your ten essentials to the meeting tomorrow night, they will be a part of the patrol competition. The number of ten essentials per patrol will be part of the score. Make sure those flash lights are working.

Patrol Leaders do your call down!!!

Good Evening everyone
We are still on for Snow Lodge for this weekend. We have paid the money regardless of whether or not there is snow up at the lodge and there is no reimbursement from council if there is not snow.
The Good news is that it is supposed to snow Thursday and Friday. Note: We have back up plans for activities on Saturday if it actually does not snow.

Green Roof & Fencing for Compost Bin

Michael decided to do his Eagle Project for the Elementary School where he was a Cub Scout, View Acres Elementary School. The school had a Compost Bin & Generator that needed to be protected from the elements & the Students needed to be kept away to be safe as well. The school requested fencing around the Roof Supports to keep the Students at a safe distance & they wanted the Roof to have a 'green roof' covering.
