Issue 5                                                                                                           January 7, 2003

 

A quick wrap up of the fourth quarter of this year.

 

October                       Biking the C&O Canal was cancelled due to weather.

 

                                    Scout accomplishments:

 

                                    10/2     Andrew Krauch            -           Scout

November                    Camping on the S.S. John W. Brown

 

This was our second trip onboard the Liberty Ship and I know we are all hoping for a third.  Again the comments came back that our Troop did an excellent job.  What better way to earn some service hours, have a good time, and by doing all of this we are saying, “Thank you” to our Veterans.

 

                                    Scout accomplishments:

 

                                    11/2     Stanley Topa                -           Reptile and Amphibian Study

                                    11/7     Andrew Varley -           Citizenship in the World

                                    11/12   Tyler Kline                   -           Life

 

December                    Christmas Trip

 

Our annual Christmas Trip again was a success.  The boys and leaders all seemed to have a good time.  I can’t recall anybody saying that they went away hungry.  Even though some of the boys had to take their High School admissions exam Saturday morning they still made it up in time to enjoy the festivities.

 

 

                                    Scout accomplishments:

 

                                    12/2     Shawn Squire               -           Citizenship in the World
