Big News Troop 81 is excited to announce two upcoming Eagle Scout Courts of Honor. All Scouts and their family are encouraged to join the community in recognizing this high achievement. These ceremonies are inspiring to young Scouts to continue their efforts toward this lofty goal. All Scouts should be in full Class A uniforms.

Ken Partain will hold his ceremony on Saturday, September 29, at 1:00pm at Good Hope Christian Church located at 176 High Shoals Rd, Good Hope, Ga 30641.

Austin Schorr will hold his ceremony on Sunday, October 14, 4:00pm at St Annas Catholic Church Parrish Hall. Dinner reception will follow ceremony. Fellowship around Austin's Eagle Project Fire Ring will conclude the festivities.

October 13 Troop 81 BBQ Fundraiser. All scouts need to sell tickets to help fund the troop for the upcoming year. We have added a raffle to the ticket, with the winning ticket receiving a $500 gift certificate toward purchase of a Black Powder Muzzleloader from CVA Muzzleloaders. This can be converted to an Academy Sports Certificate if winner chooses. Tickets will be available soon. Make sure your scout keeps the stub of the ticket sold to enter it into the raffle.

Congratulations to Camden Miley elected as Senior Patrol Leader at last meeting.  Congratulations to Reagan May elected to Assistant Senior Patrol Leader.
