Congratulations to Ethan Paulsen, Devin Champagne and Mr. Paulsen for completing their Ordeal for membership in the Order of the Arrow.   

Life Scouts who interested in learning more about Eagle Scout Service Projects can have their questions answered and learn more about the process on Tuesday Night at 6pm (Pilgrim Church).   

Please pass along Pilgrim Church's thank you to all the Boy Scouts who helped do the yard work and bring up the Yard Sale stuff last night.  They had a very busy evening here.  All their help was greatly appreciated.

Order of the Arrow News:

Just a reminder that our meeting on Wednesday will be at the new location: Nashua Presbyterian Church at 1010 West Hollis St.  We will be holding our officer election and beginning the Geocaching merit badge. Anyone planning to earn the badge will need a blue card.

 Arrowhead did all of us proud at the Fellowship weekend. We had 51- yes 51- there from Arrowhead. There was a sea of 27 tents in our campsite this morning. Our "duty", the fellowship fire, went off great, thanks to Dom and Jason and their crew planning it. We now have 18 new youth and 2 new adult members and one who did his Brotherhood.  We had 5 elangomat volunteers, but only 3 were needed.

See you Wednesday.
