February is one of those months that resets the scouting year. We receive the charter paperwork and scouts are registered for 2020 calendar year.
This month also initiates summer camp kick off with a council wide meeting with troops and their youth leadership. We also have a ceremony in the middle of the month to celebrate all scouts achievements up to date.
Our troop has evolved over the past 10 years to be what you see. Leadership invested many hours of time to see these young men grow into Eagle scouts and leaders in their own rite.

If any parents can volunteer their talents to this venture, plans are to replace windows, finish the kitchen area with sink installed, replace water heater and remodel the bathrooms. Either contact Mike Julien or let me know and I can refer you to him for a pan .
Feb 16 Court of Honor
We will meet at normal scout time at the Virginia Theater for a court of honor. Full class A uniform for the event. Note. The theater will be open to the public at 3pm with a movie so we wont be able to start early however. I still would like to show a movie for free for the scouts after the ceremony. We’ll discuss at the meeting after camp. I may be missing info on some rank stuff per scout so be prepared to discuss your current rank and merit badges with me at the meeting after camp
