Hello Troop 737,

Thank you to Deron Lawrence for organizing the climb up Missouri Mountain. Looks like everyone had a great time and the weather cooperated.

Monday night will be our first PLC (Patrol Leader’s Council) meeting. We have a lot to go over so plan on staying until 8. If you are a Patrol Leader or in a troop leadership position please come and help plan the upcoming Troop activities. If you are a Patrol Leader and you cannot make it to this meeting you need to talk to your assistant Patrol Leader or someone in your Patrol so that all Patrols are represented at the PLC.

Due to a couple of different conflicts there the Program Committee and our Troop Committee meetings for this month have been CANCELLED. See you at the parents BBQ on August 30th.

Parents, please come to the Parent Potluck Dinner on August 30th from 5 – 7pm at Evergreen Lutheran Church. Learn about the upcoming Troop events and how you can help out. Also get to know some of the other adults in the Troop. REMINDER: We ask that every family has at least one adult who does something for the Troop. It takes a community to run a quality scout Troop. Yes, scouts do like to go camping and learn outdoor skills but there are plenty of jobs that do not involve camping.
