Spring Camporee 3/30-4/2

Spring Camporee is this weekend, March 30 through April 2 at Scoutland.  Patrols have organized menus and duty rostersand have appointed grubmasters, so all Scouts who are attending should know the plans their patrols have made.  Bring the amount agreed upon (usually $7 if unsure) to reimburse the grubmaster.

Scouts will meet at the Scout hut at 5:00.  New Scouts should consult the Scout Handbook for packing list.  Even though the weather is expected to be nice, Scouts should always prepare for rain.  Extra socks, spare shoes and a light jacket for evening will be needed.

Always travel in the Class A uniform.

Mr. T. says, "BE PREPARED!"

Arrow of Light/Crossover Ceremony 3/12

Troop 81 will host the Arrow of Light Ceremony and Crossover for Webelos Scouts from two packs on Monday, March 12 at 7:00 at Mr. T's house.  We welcome members of Packs 726 and 1735 who are crossing into our Troop, and will recognize those who have earned the Arrow of Light with a special flaming arrow ceremony over the pond.

This event will take the place of our regular Troop meeting.  There will be no meeting at the Scout Hut on Monday night.  Members of Troop 81 will participate in the ceremony, and parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.  Refreshments will be served.

All Scouts who are available Sunday afternoon at 1:00 are asked to gather at Mr. T's house to set up for the ceremony.

Mr. T's house is located at the corner of Mount Vernon Road and Snow's Mill Road.  From Monroe on Snow's Mill, turn left onto Mt. Vernon and the place will be on the right. You will see a gate, a gravel drive and a pond.  The house is not visible from the road.
