Our Holiday Wreath Assembly this past Friday was a big success. We inventoried and fulfilled orders for 1800 wreaths with the help of a lot of scouts, parents and leaders. By 2pm, the last wreath order was picked up and our work was done for the day! Good planning and advance preparation helped get us through the day. We had a lot of people helping on Friday and some that could not attend on Friday, helped prior to the assembly day by cutting wreath wire (John, Luke and Mr. Anastasiades) and attaching Thank You Cards (Mrs. Yost). Thank you again to the Wreath Committee for organizing a smooth operation from ordering wreath supplies, tracking orders and fulfilling each customer order. Thank you to the Woodward family for the hospitality and use of their garage. And thank you to our scouts (and parents help) for their effort so far in selling wreaths!
Brandon – Got Wreaths?
Please be sure to deliver your wreath orders as soon as possible. All wreath orders should be delivered no later than this coming weekend.
The wreaths are being stored in the troop trailer at Mrs. Champagne’s house. If you need bows, wreaths, pine cones make arrangements with Mrs. Champagne.
We have about 100 wreaths left over. If you have not met the troop’s minimum goal to sell at least 20 wreaths, time and wreaths are in short supply—time to get moving!
Our holiday party is scheduled for Tuesday, December 21st to award prizes and recognize all our wreath sellers.
Our next troop activity is the Practice Klondike Derby at Camp Carpenter on Saturday, December 11th. Each patrol should be planning to have several patrol meetings to refurbish or build their Klondike sled, assemble patrol supplies and practice their skills. We will be practicing with two other Boy Scout Troops (91 and 118). The troop has organized the event and we do need some help staffing some of the skill stations on Saturday. Mr. Rob Bisbee is the adult coordinator and Luke Yost is the scout coordinator.
Tuesday is the Deadline to sign-up and pay for the Yellowstone High Adventure Trip
