Welcome to all the new Scouts and their families who are
joining Troop 874!
Congratulations once again to Josh C.! The Eagle Court of
Honor this evening was fantastic!
Scouts going on the leadership training this weekend will
depart from Glen Mar at 6:30 on Friday evening. They will return to the parking
lot at Howard High on Sunday. The phone tree will be used to give parents the
return time on Sunday.
Scouts interested in being an instructor during the next six
months should contact Chris Leaf.
Scouting for Food collection will begin at 9:00 on Saturday,
1 March, from the Glen Mar parking lot.
The Troop needs use of a small forklift on Saturday, April
5th. We will be unloading 1,300 bags of
mulch. A small bobcat with a forklift attachment works fine. We will have 20 pallets of 65 bags each, each pallet weighs about 2600 lbs. Each pallet needs to be picked up at the end
of the trucktrailer and moved a short distance (20')
out of the way. The pallets are mechanically moved to the back of the trailer
so the forklift works from the same location each load. If you or your business
could help out, please contact me (comchair.troop874@gmail.com) or Phil Conant.
Eagle Project is this Saturday! – On 1 & 2 March and on
8 & 9 March, Mahesh will construct a concrete area where kids can play
basketball at the Therapeutic and
The monthly Troop Committee meeting will be next Wednesday,

The 2008 Friends of Scouting campaign continues! Mr. Bud
Hunt will have fliers at the next troop meeting. Please be generous and thanks
in advance for your continued support of the Scouting Program!
Adult leaders and Scouts leading Eagle Projects – When
Scouts complete service hours for programs that you are running (e.g., Scouting
