Hello scouts and parents,

This week we will have our annual Holiday Party! We’ll be playing white elephant (scouts should bring a wrapped present worth less than $20) and having a homemade holiday cookie contest. Adults will be judging the cookies and voting on a winner at the meeting.

Our next few upcoming things are:

— There is no meeting on Thursday 12/29, but there will be a meeting on 1/5 for those who can attend, where we’ll be doing merit badge make up and rank advancement.

— 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.

— January 26 is our next Court of Honor.

— 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.
