Click on the following link for information on the World Brotherhood Camporee,  to be held at Riverside Cedar Park, Morrisburg, ON, Canada. We will be leaving from the parking lot at First Congregational Church at 5:00pm on Friday, September 28 and returning home around 3:30pm on Sunday, September 30.

Please bring your signed (both parents) permission slip and passport or photo ID and birth certificate (if you don't you cannot go) and $20 for the trip. It is also recommended that Scouts bring spending money for snacks/souvenirs and a fast food lunch on the return journey. Scouts should bring sleeping bags and normal gear for the time of year and a bag dinner for Friday evening.  If you do not have the forms contact Tony Brock tbrock@virtualcash.biz or Jery Stedinger jrs5@cornell.edu or call 257-8016 and we will get them to you in time.

Holiday wreath Sales

Mr. Ladd will be handing out forms for scouts to sell holiday wreaths at Monday's meeting. As before we will be offering two varieties; the classic wreath @ $22 and the Victorian @ $27 as well as the mail order options for distant friends and relatives. Wreath sales end October 15 with all orders due at that Monday evening's meeting. Orders will be ready for pick up from the meeting on Monday November 19. All monies are to be handed in by Monday November 26.

Popcorn Sales

Scouts can start Fall Popcorn Sales as soon as they wish. Mr. Brock and I have forms with prices and other information at our homes.  Anyone in the troop who wants a form so they can start selling this week can come by and pick one up. I have forms in an envelope on the front porch of my house (120 Kay St) so you can take a form even if I am not home. The troop will continue the popcorn and wreath sales policy from last year that ...  Popcorn orders are due in October.

Camp Barton 2007

There are lots of pictures of summer camp at Camp Barton on our photos page, it is easy to see why this is such a popular camp and always well attended. Many thanks to Robin Stedinger, Mark Tate, Mike Thompson, Alison Morris and Jery Stedinger for giving up their time and making the week special for the boys. Thanks to Jery and Mark for the pictures.
