Have a Great Thanksgiving!  If you are travelling, please be safe.  For those that may be working, we thank you for helping to keep our lives in balance.  For us all, we wish for a calm and healthy break.  And may the Lord Bless You and Keep You as we give Thanks during this Thanksgiving season.

Our November 15th Troop Meeting will be a field trip to a Tyler ISD School Board meeting. The location is 807 W. Glenwood Blvd, Tyler.  The meeting room is the Davidson Conference Room in the Jim Plyler Complex.  Since the board meeting begins at 7pm, we will meet at the Scout Hut at 6:30pm and travel from there.  We will go to the board meeting for about an hour and will return to the Scout Hut by 8:30pm.  If you are unable to arrive at 6:30pm, you may join us at the Board meeting at the Tyler ISD complex.  Parents, if you would like to attend with us, you will be welcomed.

All Scouts in the Troop would benefit from attending a Tyler ISD Board meeting for both the Communications and Citizenship in the Community merit badges.  If they have not started either one, Mrs. Burt will record it as a requirement completed for one of these merit badges.

The PLC and the Troop Committee will meet Monday, November 8th at 7p in the Scout Hut.
There will not be a regular Troop Meeting.

Look for more information on the Christmas Party in December and more information on Winter Camp to be held right after Christmas, December 27-30, 2021.  Sign up for Winter Camp in Event Registrations on the right.

Good evening all,
   Our Troop meeting on Monday evening will focus on two things:
1.  Bring your Fruit Sale Fundraiser forms and money envelopes.  We will need to prepare the order for our Rio Grande Valley vendor during the coming week.

2.  We will also get ready for our Tarrant Ranch campout this coming weekend, November 5-7.  We'll be loading the large troop trailer with the gear that we will need for the weekend.  It will be a fun weekend with Orienteering, Pumpkins, Patrol cooking and a cobbler competition.  Since the weather will be chilly, Mr. Fowler will be making up some of his homemade hot chocolate on Saturday night.
 
Speaking of chilly weather, be sure and pack to stay warm.  If you need a campout checklist, you can find one under the Files menu on the Troop Website.  You will need a warm jacket.

Remember, you need to sign up on the Troop Website to attend.  Click on the Event Registration to get that done. We need to arrange transportation and we need a good count for seating.  Plus, since Tarrant Ranch is very close, parents might be asked to help drive scouts out to the site.
 
On Friday evening, we will plan to meet at the Scout Hut about 5pm to finish packing the trailer and make the short trip.  We will plan on returning to the Scout Hut by 10am on Sunday morning.  We will let you know if plans change.  See you tomorrow evening.
