S.M.S for 2-11-24

Posted by swolfgram on Feb 12 2024 - 3:57pm
Good evening everyone
 
Kansas City wins by 3 in overtime. How do I know? I'm prophetic. 
 
After the strange weather we've been having this past winter we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to put this year's ski trip together. Thank God we did. The kids had a good time and no one came back with anything broken. Always a plus in my book.  
 
Here's what's new this week.   
 
This Monday Night:
 
Dinner with the Legion
Veterans Hall, 311 n 2nd street
Feb 12th 6p - 7p
Join the troop this month as we dine in with the American Legion at the veterans hall.
Help serve dinner and join in the fellowship. Set-up will begin at 5:45ish with dinner to follow at 6p
 
Spring Fundraiser:
Mulch: Back by unanimous demand we will be bringing back this spring fundraiser. We hope to have the paperwork ready to go by the end of next week.
 
Pancake breakfast: With the backing of the American legion we are putting together details on an April pancake fundraiser. We will be getting the information together and talking about dates in a week.  
 
Pack 110 invite
Pack 110 has four scouts that were looking to join us on one of our outings. They have not yet chosen a troop and are wanting to see what we are about and who we are as a troop. We have a few options that are within the next week. The 2024 Chicago auto show and a trip down to the city for a free day at one of the museums. Just two of the ideas floated. When told of our potential ideas the leaders and kids seemed rather interested. 
 
The troop Zelle
Need to pay the troop for something or get paid for something? We have a Zelle for that. @TRP1TREASURER
 
Cyber-Chip
EVERYONE needs this, Yes This Means You!!!!
In order for the scouts to be able to use their phones or tech on meetings or outings they need to have this certification.  The class material can be found at

Recruiting New Members

If you know of anyone that could potentially be interested in joining, please have them come to a meeting, outing, camp-out or just for a visit.

S.M.S for 12-10-23

Posted by swolfgram on Dec 11 2023 - 11:34am
Good evening everyone
 
A Friend's Greeting
 
 I'd like to be the sort of friend
     that you have been to me;
I'd like to be the help that you've been
     always glad to be;
I'd like to mean as much to you
     each minute of the day
As you have meant, old friend of mine,
     to me along the way.

I'd like to do the big things
     and the splendid things for you,
To brush the gray out of your skies
     and leave them only blue;
I'd like to say the kindly things
     that I so oft have heard,
And feel that I could rouse your soul
     the way that mine you've stirred.

I'd like to give back the joy
     that you have given me,
Yet that were wishing you a need
     I hope will never be;
I'd like to make you feel
     as rich as I, who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours
     with you to lean upon.

I'm wishing at this Christmas time
     that I could but repay
A portion of the gladness
     that you've strewn along the way;
And could I have one wish this year,
     this only would it be:
I'd like to be the sort of friend
     that you have been to me.

Edgar A. Guest.
