IMPORTANT: Lincoln Encampment pre-meeting, Monday 6:30pm
We will have a meeting to lay out the procedures for the upcoming Lincoln Encampment on Monday, May 5 at 6:30pm in St. Margaret Chapel.  At least one adult from every family attending the encampment must attend.  If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Mayo!
 
Troop rummage sale results
the sales for our rummage sale totaled a whopping $2606.95!  We had a great turnout and lots of good deals were made.  The money will be put to a lot of good use making sure we have the equipment we need and, more importantly, we'll do some great stuff!

Speaking of the rummage sale, we all owe a great big thanks to Mrs. Herdegen for her hard work and time.  We could not have gotten everything done without her.  Many thanks also to all of the parents, relatives and siblings who also helped along the way; their assistance was invaluable and very much appreciated.
 
Good times at Pounds Hollow

We had a great turn out at Pounds Hollow Lake, and the boys had a great time!  There was a little rain in the area, but we didn't let it stop us.  The Scouts (and a couple of tagalongs) set up camp on Saturday, then went on a 4+ mile hike past the lake and around Rim Rock.  The hike included a couple of very steep inclines, but the Scouts never faltered.  They did a great job.

After the hike the boys cooked supper and then worked through a night-time navigation exercise provided by Mr. Herdegen and Mr. Mayo.  A few campfire stories and quiet time, and then it was off to bed!

The next day we broke camp and then made the short drive to Garden of the Gods, where the boys took a short hike into the heights to enjoy the view.  After that we headed home, tired but happy.
