Troop 874's Court of Honor is next Thursday. Parents, plan on being present as your son's receive merit badges, advance in rank or assume a leadership position. Your attendance demonstrates your support for your boys and for the troop!

Merit badge counselors who keep personal records for progress on merit badges and who know of boys who have completed the merit badges, should ensure our advancement chair, Mrs. Colleen Beaumont, has that information several days before the Court of Honor. We are specifically concerned about merit badges that might have been completed during the January camping trip.

Scout Sunday – Volunteers to deliver a sermon, do readings or to usher during church services at Glen Mar UMC on Scout Sunday (March 9th) should contact the SPL or Mr. MacInnes. This counts as service time!

The dates for summer camp are 13-19 July at Broad Creek Memorial Scout Reservation. More information will be coming out within the next several weeks.

Bag delivery for Scouting for Food will start from the church parking lot at 9:00 on Saturday, February 23rd. This will count for service time!

Eagle Project – On 1 & 2 March and on 8 & 9 March, Mahesh will construct a concrete area where kids can play basketball at the Therapeutic and Recreational Riding Center. Details are in the attached flier. This also counts as service time!

Adult training opportunity – Wagon Wheel

Who Should Attend?... Anyone interested in providing the best program possible to the Scouts! This includes Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters, Patrol Coaches, Committee members, and anyone else involved (or who may want to be involved) in the Boy Scout Program who wishes to gain a better insight into the workings of a troop. This course is a "must" for any parents who are interested in attending high adventure camps with their sons. Registration information is on the attached flyer or contact the course director Cheryl Murphy. Troop 874 will reimburse 100% of the registration fee upon completion of the course!

The Senior Patrol Leader still has lost clothing and wants to get it back to the owners. Have you lost anything lately? Maybe boots???

Congratulations to the hearty souls who revitalized Troop 874's tradition of winter camping at the February Freeze-Out! Though they had warm bunks to sleep in, the skiers had lots of fun, too!
