There is a committee meeting on Thursday October 5th at 7 pm via Teams. The Teams link is below.

Please register, $25 per person. 

During this campout, we will be fishing from the shore on Ray Roberts lake, then traveling as a group to a semi-private fishing pond where fishing can be more productive from the bank. There will be opportunities for a hike to complete rank advancement requirements on Saturday. There will be opportunities to work on open rank requirements throughout the day, or scouts can choose to relax and chill with the cool breeze off the lake.
The campsites are a short hike from the parking lot, so plan accordingly.
As a special treat, Assistant Scoutmaster Jeff Hall is going to conduct a fish fry for the entire troop on Saturday night. Just in case we don't catch any fish, Mr. Hall has enough already to feed the masses.
Cooking will be conducted by Patrol Grubmasters, with the following requirements:
Saturday Morning - Hot Breakfast
Saturday Afternoon - Open for Hot or Cold - recommend cold as clean up is easier
Saturday Night - Meal provided by Jeff Hall, Patrols will compete in a Dessert Contest (Supplies for the desserts will be earned during mini-competitions.)
Sunday Morning - Cold Breakfast

Our Troop is grateful for every volunteer. For without them, our Scouts would not be as successful. We can use more volunteer help. You can work directly with the troop as an Assistant Scout Master or Merit Badge Counselor or help direct the Troop’s future on the Troop Committee. Don’t worry. We’ll find you a job. If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact the Troop Committee Chair or Scoutmaster.

The Lewisville Parks & Recreation is offering numerous Merit badges.  See below of the classes being offered.  You can sign up on line through the link provided below.

LLELA offers opportunities to help Scouts work on skills and knowledge related to merit badges. While these programs are designed to meet badge requirements, members of other youth organizations or children simply interested in these topics are welcome to enroll. It is usually impossible to fulfill all of the requirements of most badges in only a few hours, but LLELA staff will include as much as possible in a series of hands-on, engaging activities

*Most workshop fees range from $15-25 per person ($95 for 2 day Kayak program). Parents dropping off or picking up a Scout for these activities may enter LLELA free of charge for this purpose.

We made a large number of Merit Badge counselor updates. I encourage all Scouts to click on the Merit Badge Resources link to review the current Merit Badge Counselor list in order to determine the current counselor for your area of interest.

Parents we are always looking for volunteers. We would love to add you to the list of Merit Badge Counselors if your vocation or hobby matches a Merit Badge. Our biggest needs are Camping, Hiking, Environmental Science, Orienteering, and then any Merit Badge for which we have either one or no counselors.

Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the Merit Badge counselor updates. (click on "read more" to see name and email FF )
