Our troop is having a Leadership Planning and Training Conference starting at 5p, Friday, Feb 17th through 5p, Saturday Feb, 18th. We will camp Friday night on the grounds at COOS.

The goal of the event is to plan our troop’s activities for the balance of 2012 and into 2013. We need everyone to attend so you can share your ideas on where to go camping and the kinds of activities you would like to see. In addition to the planning, we have a number of fun activities planned – and will even squeeze in some leadership training.

More details to come. Head on over to the Event Registration page to get your name on the list.

Someone called the nursery to have four (4) plants replaced. The number they left is a fax machine and their message states that they live “by the Avenues Mall” and purchased from “Group 110.” The nursery will replace the plants but they need more information. Please contact Mr. Walsh if you know who this is.

For future reference, ALL replacements MUST go through the troop. The nursery is a wholesaler and does not deal directly with the public. Please do not give nursery information to anyone we need to handle these type of issues.
