EAGLE PROJECTS   More scouts are needed to help out at eagle projects.  Whenever possible, scouts should help support these boys because one day you might need help on your eagle project!

MISSING TROOP  ITEMS  Scouts and their families, please check your garages, basements, etc. to make sure no troop equipment, especially tents, have accidently taken up residence in your home.  If you come across any of these items, please return promptly to the troop.  Thanks so much!
