· August 25 Annual Parent Meeting and Potluck. 4 pm at ELC Parents please join us to get to know some of the other parents, learn some more about Troop 737 and find out where you can help with your son’s scouting experience. REMINDER At least one parent from each family is expected to volunteer in some capacity for the Troop. There are plenty of tasks for all different kinds of skills. This is a boy led troop but parent involvement is one of the things that make Troop 737 a special organization. I look forward to seeing you at this event.

· August 26 First Troop Meeting of the year. Among other things we will be doing campout prep for the Labor Day Weekend Backpacking trip.

· August 30 – September 2 Labor Day Weekend backpacking trip Halo Mr. Reilly We will be leaving early on Saturday morning and returning sometime Monday afternoon.
