Troop 285 - Heads Up! Here's The Latest News

Here's late breaking news of interest to the Troop, from the week of June 23rd, 2003.


Mike Mo. earned Star Rank! Congrats, Michael!
Some awards from the 50 Miler Canoe Trek: Tim C took the Largest Splashes, James H and Matt R recognized for Creative Boating, Jeff M won Sweet Dreams, Colin M was the Sandman, and Jay M and Mike Mo were the Fire Lords. See any of these guys for more explanation!
Mr. Mondick is at home now after back surgery. He's having some pain, but doing well. A phone call or note from Scouts would be a Very Good Turn!
Instruction was provided on dishwashing, cast iron seasoning, food preparation safety tips and personal hygiene.
Thanks for help from all Scouts and adults who attended Equipment Work Day. We were finished by noon, and even had lots of time to enjoy lunch hot dogs! Thanks Mr. Harbaugh for cooking those up!
Galoshes (rubber overshoes) are available for $11. You'll want to order 2 sizes larger than the shoes or boots they will be worn with. These will be great at Cruces Basin, because it probably will be wet several times during the week. All orders must be turned in next Monday.
Coin Collecting, Cooking, Hiking, Canoeing, Cycling, and Personal Management merit badge instruction was held. Personal Fitness will meet with Mr. Griego on Saturday. Basic Skills covered topographic maps.
Signups for Hunter Safety class to be held July 8-12 are being taken. See Mr. Coles. Remember, this class is needed before taking Rifle or Shotgun merit badges. Adults and other family members are invited to take the class, too, if room permits.
