February Camping Trip

Troop 540,

I will need to get a head count as to how many scouts want to go to an indoor rock climbing facility in February.  We would do an overnight in the facility.  (See the details below)

We will need to have 20 scouts reply, in order to book the trip.  I will book the trip for Friday, February 20th.  We would need to get up there by 8pm (when it starts) and leave by 8am Saturday, the 21st.

The deadline to get back to me for this trip will be Friday, November 21st.

 All Night Climb

Tired of going to the indoor rock gym when its to busy to climb your favorite routes? Can’t find time during the day to get all of your friends together to climb? Then reserve a night to stay at the gym all night long!
Cost: $30.00 per person
Hours: 8pm-8am

*Must have 20 or more participants to reserve. Groups under 18 years of age requires adult supervision.

Sincerely,

Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540

September Schedule

Good Morning & Happy Labor Day to Troop 540.

I have officially received the torch from Mr. Walker and have accepted the title and responsibility as Troop 540’s new Scoutmaster!

I just want to give a special THANK YOU to Mr. Walker for all of his countless hours of dedication and successful leadership of our troop. I think we would all agree that this troop is healthy and thriving as a direct result of Pete’s guidance and vision.
