Program Schedule 2008-2009
   The New Year brought in a lot of activities for the troop. We had three Eagle ceremonies this month, (Michael Marra-Powers, Mark Costello, and Mark Franzen). It�s always great to see the guys come back from college. I still can�t get over how much they grow in such a short time. On Jan 9-11 the troop went to Laughing Waters Girl Scout Camp in Gilbertville Pa. In the morning the scouts practices the skills needed for the Klondike Derby. After a large lunch we packed up and went to Bear Creek Ski Resort for and afternoon and evening of skiing, snow boarding and tubing. Everyone had a great time and no broken bones!!! On Saturday, January 24th, the troop participated in Burt Kiphaut�s memorial service held at Plymouth Valley Community Church. The service was a great tribute to Burt, his family and everyone who knew him. He will be missed!! Last weekend we were at the Baden Powell District�s Klondike Derby / Alaskan Gold Rush. We had perfect weather for a Klondike Derby. The snow on the ground made it easier for the boys pulling the dog sleds. Aside from being really cold everyone had a good time and we all got home in time for the �Super Bowl�. Mark Wood�s Eagle ceremony will be this Saturday at 2:00. Scout Sunday is this Sunday. The troop will be attending the 10:45 service at St Marks. The Cub Pack will be serving breakfast prior to the this service. Come out and support the Pack! All boys should be in full class �A� uniform. The flowers on the alter will be in memory of Bill Gebhardt and Burt Kiphaut. A new year brings new challenges for all of us. Remember to keep current on your son�s advancement and dues.
