Some well prepared boys will have the opportunity to camp out in the snow under the direction of the adults who attended the winter camping skills course last winter.Back to top
Christmas Tree Sale
As you hopefully already know, we are selling Christmas Trees at Harry Allen Park for several weekends before the holiday. Charlie Dekar is organizing the activities. All boys and their parents are expected to sell for two or three hours over the course of the two or three weekends. The work assignment sheets have been distributed , and it is the responsibility of each boy and his parents to find replacements if they are not available. This is one of our biggest fund-raisers, and also a great way to get into some holiday spirit!!!Back to top
Klondike Derby
The annual Klondike Derby is in January 27, and will be sponsored and organized by Troop 10.The adult leader is Chris Leidkte, and the youth leader is Jimmy Kanaley. We will make this the best Klondike ever and you help and support is appreciated!Back to top

Scoutmaster Scribbles
The end of the calendar year is a great time to take stock of yourself, your life, and your accomplishments. Before writing out those New Year Resolutions, why not take a look at how you demonstrated Scout Spirit during the year? Following the Scout Law, Scout Motto and Scout Slogan may give you a good blueprint on your plan for next year. Happy Holidays to all !!!!!!Back to top
Webster Winter Campout
Tim Gemme organized a campout in Webster for the first weekend in December. A dozen boys and several adults joined in the fun. Congratulation to Tim for showing the leadership to plan and organize the event! If someone organizes it, “.....they will come.........â€.Back to top
Anyone Know any Good Jokes?
Little Harold was practicing the trombone in the living room while his father was trying to read in the den. The family dog was lying in the den and as the wounded animal sounds of little Harold’s trombone reached his ears, he began to howl loudly.The father listened to the dog and the trombone as long as he could. Then he jumped up, slammed his paper to the floor and yelled above the noise, “For Pete’s sake, can’t you play something the dog doesn’t know?!â€.
