(Full Uniform Description:  Shirt should have epaulets on shoulders, East Texas Area Council patch with 131 under on left shoulder sleeve, and world crest patch sewn just above left pocket.  The neck tie  and slide is earned and not required and the belt and buckle is optional.  Although, a belt of some sort is required along with shirts tightly tucked. Books are also required.)

Uniform inspections will begin next week.  Webloe Uniform Description:  Shirts, hats, neck tie, slide, belt and buckle.  (note:  The new Webloe buckles don’t seem to work with the old wolf blue belt.)  Shirts should have East Texas Area Council patch on left shoulder with 131 under.  The world crest patch should be sewn over the left front pocket.  All other badges are earned.  Shirts should be tucked in.


Bears:

Tonight
The Bears talked about faith and worship tonight.  Their homework assignment is to count the number of times they exercise their faith this week.  They discussed that faith is like a muscle that needs exercise to grow.

Some received their popcorn information in the mail this week.  Some did not.  Don’t worry if you didn’t receive it this week.  We won’t be selling popcorn until October.
