Scoutmaster Minute: Great week. The hike on the Henry Hill Loop was beautiful, reminded me of walking in fields around my grandparents home. So nice to see everyone that attended, even if faces were hidden behind masks. The week was capped off with Bryan Hong’s Eagle project, including seeing him enjoy his 1st pizza. Yes that’s right…2 major milestones in one day. Hope your all keeping cool, I know a few of our Scouts are lifeguards at our neighborhood pools so they for sure get they chance. We have an important discussion this week about the Journey to Eagle that all Scouts should attend.
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

MEETINGS

 
1. This Week July 21: Star, Life, Eagle (Zoom)
Uniform: Class A
We are going to use this meeting to review key steps and organizational tips to help our Scouts be successful on the Journey to Eagle.
Many Scouts in the Troop have reached Star or Life, so this discussion is specific to what they need to consider to reach Eagle.
Participation is strongly recommended for Star and Life Scouts, all other Scouts and parents are welcome.
