Hello, this is Braxton G. I will host an Eagle Project event on October 2nd and 9th. My Eagle Project aims to create a game center for special needs children at a local Equine Association named Amy's Wish With Wings. Amy's Wish With Wings is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide activities for children with special needs, such as autism, down syndrome, and other brain injuries. This project will help improve the development of the children's vestibular system. This gaming center incorporates games that help strengthen fine motor and balance skills used in everyday life.

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.

We have an Immediate opening for a new MEMBERSHIP CHAIR currently filled by Trina Hall.

After serving as Membership Chair the last 4 years, and as Troop Gear Coordinator for several years prior, it is time for me to move on.  I have enjoyed meeting many of you personally through the process of collecting your paperwork and getting you and your scouts into the wonderful family that is troop928.  We have made huge improvements to the procedure this year by taking our membership process online.  The lucky person who steps into this role will be able to conduct nearly all of the business from the comfort of their computer and at a time that is convenient around their schedule.  Please reach out to me or Bret Heintz, Committee Chair for more information.

Fall typically starts off slow, with a few new members, so this is a GREAT time to get started in the role.

Northern Tier 2023

Northern Tier is one of Scouting’s four High Adventure bases for older scouts aged 14 and above.  It is a week-long canoeing and camping expedition in the boundary waters with Canada.  More information can be found at www.ntier.org

The troop is checking for interest in a Northern Tier High Adventure trek for summer 2023 for a 7-night trek at Ely, Minnesota.  A crew of 8 is needed, 2 of which are adults.  A BSA swim test classification of swimmer is required.

A troop reservation should be made soon if a trek can be formed so that desired dates can be obtained.  A financial installment will also be required with your commitment to go to meet Northern Tier’s payment requirements.

If you are interested in attending please contact Kevin O’Donnell.  kevinodonnell@troop928.org or

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.

Please include your phone number when registering so that you can receive weather updates if necessary. Register online or by calling 972.219.3550.
