Scoutmaster Invitational Campout
Saturday, June 11th & 12th. The Scoutmaster provided the program and the boys provided the fun! A great way for the new Scouts to learn what is in the troop trailer, set up camp, learn the proper way to use a stove and cook the meals. They even did dishes, so yes parents there hands did get washed at least three times. For a backyard campout, the kids did great.

Just check out the pics for yourself.

Troop Trailer is FINISHED!
Thank You to Dons Auto Body for the GREAT job on finishing the Troop Trailer. He did the Detail Work as you can see. Thanks to our Committee Chairman, Bill Sikorkski, he can talk a deal! Our troop trailer was repainted by the boys 3 years ago and we have been talking about decals for it, well Bill helped us out. With the Troop helping out the Reavis Drama Mamas & Papas with their rummage sale and loaning them the sign, they thanked us by doing this great air brush detail. Thanks Bob!
