Monday, December, 14th is Troop 110’s “Winter Court of Honor.” We gather as an entire troop to recognize awards, rank advancements and Merit Badges the scouts have recently earned. As usual other important information is also passed along to parents.
This COH is a dessert so every family brings a dessert to share and the whole troop is the service patrol.
What to Expect
The troop will camp Friday night only and return to COOS late-afternoon on Saturday.
Anticipated weather on Saturday afternoon may cause the obstacle course and repelling tower to close. This will adversely affect a number of our goals for the weekend.
A number of scouts need nights of camping for advancement. By staying just Friday night helps this cause. On Saturday we can still get some other requirements completed before returning to COOS.
Attention all Troop 110 Scouts!
It is time to start selling our holiday poinsettias. We have unique access to fantastic florist-grade flowers that past customers rave about year after year. Our color choices are incredible. The blooms on these plants will blow you away.
Tell your customers Troop 110 is keeping our prices the same as last year. This is a nice bonus in light of the tight economy.
REMEMBER to check with your church and school office ASAP. Churches, offices and businesses your families know will want these beautiful flowers to decorate their facilities… doctors offices, dentist offices, law offices, real estate offices, banks, etc…
Download your Order Form today CLICK HERE – Get out and sell these gorgeous flowers. Fill up one form then print another and do it again and again… Who knows, if you sell enough your summer camp will be FREE in 2010. Or, the troop can take a really cool trip somewhere. Or, get some nice new equipment.
On this date in 1969 a message was sent 400 miles between two California university computers, laying the groundwork for the Internet and for BSA110.com to exist.
Then, in 1980 Tim Berners-Lee developed the concept of hypertext which became hypertext markup language (HTML) that makes today’s World Wide Web work. The Internet didn’t become a household word until the 90s when Berners-Lee, a British physicist invented the Web, the first Web browser and the first Web server. After those inventions, service providers like America Online (AOL) connected millions of people for the first time.
Scouts will have a good laugh seeing some of the early video games and computers the troop adults grew up with by watching a three-minute National Geographic video on the topic HERE

The next time you see Mr. Smith give him a hearty Boy Scout handshake.
Mr. Smith recently received the 2009 John Wesley Powell Award from the U.S. Geological Survey. He received this award for helping to create the first national mapping, hazard reduction, and resource conservation program for wildfires. Mr. Smith was the Project Manager for this program called LANDFIRE which cost $41 million and took five years to complete.
