Hello scouts and parents,

This week we will continue the collecting and citizenship in the community merit badges. The Valkyries will do flags, and the game is Zombie. There is a PLC after the meeting.

Our next few upcoming things are:

— On Thursday 12/22 we have our annual Troop Holiday Party at the regular meeting time. Scouts should bring a wrapped gift that costs less than $20, and scouting/outdoors-related gifts are encouraged, but not required. We’re also having a holiday cookie contest, so bring your best holiday cookies.

— There is no meeting on Thursday 12/29, but there will be a meeting on 1/5 for those who can attend.

— On January 2 there is a Christmas Tree Recycling Fundraiser. We will be picking up and recycling Christmas trees for a requested $15 donation, and the money raised will go into scouts’ scout accounts. We will need a parent/parents with a truck/trucks to help.

— On January 27-29, we have the annual Scout Ski Trip at Copper Mountain, you can sign up for this on the troop website.

— On February 3-5, we have the Klondaree, the first campout of the year. It’s similar to the Camporee, but in winter. You can also sign up for this on the troop website.
