Calling all Quartermasters!!

Sep 25

9:00 am to 1:00 pm   T48 Garage clean out and up.

Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church

Patrols: Plan, organize and be ready to execute your activity for the 75^th celebration. Think about positive Scout oriented (YOUTH LED) interactions with guests as well as fellow Troop members along the lines of a “Webelos Night” or the “Scout Fair” (from 2019 E.D.G.E.). (No Fires)

 Patrols: Develop a tri-fold poster board with content that best exhibits who you are as a patrol. Think about the patrol activities you have done over the last year+ which have forced these realities. Use photos and stories to leverage the patrol method in your graphical portrayal of your experiences. Position all your members to be ready to share and elaborate on the experiences with new scouts.

Adult leadership council is Looking for Leadership to teach new adult leadership if you have any questions, please see Julieann Thomas or Joe Fox: University of Scouting is on November 13th, 2021 @ Northeast State Tech. CC
