End of Year Ice Skating, Bake Sale & Summer's Comin'

The goal that the troop set for their fun goal was to go Ice Skating (a few others were mentioned but less doable than ice skating).

 

After looking into the date options, May 7 or May 21, both Fridays are the best bets.  We need votes for one or the other or neither date ASAP.  If too many can not do either Friday date, we will rethink the fun reward for cookie sales for the troop.

 

Speaking of goals, the troop is working on the Sign of the Star Award, where they set a goal of a bake sale to raise money for hungry kids in America.  We will partner with Share Our Strength and donate proceeds raised to this organization.  We are still searching for a good date and possible event to tie the bake sale to - any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

 

An option for a summer meeting (trying for 1 per month) is June 3 at the Guthrie Drive-in for How to Train your Dragon.  If not the drive-in on June 3, then we will plan to meet the 2nd Thursday of each month.  Details later in May.

 

Happy Scouting!
