In the troop meetings each Patrol( except the Squirrel patrols) have been told to select a non-required merit badge to work on as a Patrol, if your Patrol has not selected one yet Please do so and have it approved by Hank.

Pathfinder church is starting constuction on the remodel of the building. How will this effect our program?
1. Our scout room will be moving down the hall in the former youth room. Our current room is going to be upgraded with more fire protection stuff. This will take about 6 months. Once this is completed we will have a new Scout room in the main hallway.
I will need to have some people help me pack up the current scout room and move to the other room. I will let you know when that is happening.
2. There will be a time that the Gym will not be available for our use as they are putting in a new fire sprinkle system, we will be going outside to play our games.
3. Some of the rooms we use for our merit badge classes will be remodeled so we will find other rooms to use in the meantime.

Amy will be at the desk during the troop meeting starting at 6:30pm to collect any fees on Tuesday June 12

Like I said a lot of stuff here if you have questions please ask.
