Scoutmaster Minute: I would encourage all Scouts to Give Thanks as you gather with family and friends this week. Perhaps each could share the following prior to your meal.
For food, for raiment,
For life, for opportunities,
For friendship and fellowship,
We thank Thee, O Lord.Amen.
IMPORTANT ACTION ITEMS
Recharter – Please be on alert for an email this week that will provide information and steps to recharter Scouts and Adults for 2022.
MEETINGS
Remember that the Patrol assigned to run a meeting also has clean up duty….meaning your Patrol should be the last to leave with approval of SPL and Scoutmaster.
1. This Week Nov 23: No Meeting
2. Next Week Nov 30: Tents and Compasses (Pandas) @ Activity Field
Uniform Class B (Class A when seeking advancement)
The Pandas will be facilitating a troop tent inventory in combination with review of proper tent pitching. In addition, Scout will be using a compass to get re-oriented to proper navigation as required in multiple ranks and merit badges. This will be good skills building for those that have not yet completed 1st Class and in preparation for an Orienteering outing being planned for December. All skills that will be exercised at the Klondike Derby.
Remember your 10 Essentials...compass should be in there…if you don’t have one it’s a great gift for the holidays/birthday. Base-plate compasses like the Silva starter 1-2-3 are the best all-around, least expensive and durable compasses.
