All:

Court of Honor is next Tuesday, 7:00pm. Please make plans to attend this special evening of awards.

No Scout meetings 12/22 & 12/29.

Cubs:

Tonight we discussed a Christian view of finances with the Bears and Tigers.  The material we used was published by Randy Alcorn of Eternal Perspective Ministries and can be located at http://epm.org/media-database/pdf/MiddleSchoolGuide.pdf and http://epm.org/media-database/pdf/MiddleSchoolHandouts.pdf .   I (John Daniel) encourage each of you to discuss the handouts in more detail with your sons.

The Webelos continued to work toward their ranks with Daniel Carrell.

Boy Scouts:

Congratulations to the many boys that advanced rank tonight! They will be honored next week.

If you worked on a merit badge or a rank but didn’t get to pass, no worries, it’s the scoutmaster’s desire to have scoutmaster conferences and boards more frequently. Your next chance to advance will come soon!

Looking ahead- the “Camporee” (where our scouts compete against other troops in competitive games) will be held 1/15/10-1/16/10.  Dads, we need 2 of you for this event. Please consider.
