On the trip to the Warner Robins Aviation Museum, 8 scouts received the Aviation merit badge.

The Annual BSA Troop 175 Banquet is scheduled for February 3, 2006.  VOLUNTEERS are need for the banquet.  These to assist with food serving and preperation.

Five scouts participated in the sale of the Christmas wreaths. 

Eagle Scout Greg Haden is working on managing the Troop 175 Webb page and doing a fine job.

Planning has commenced on several high adventure trips including Philmont, Sea base and Northern Tier. We will need adult volunteers to pull these off, so step up. Scoutmaster Golley needs adult backup for all scouting activities due to his pressing current family health obligations. So raise your hand and let us keep this program lively for the Scoutas.

 

Jeff Hayden reports that other Troops are using the Camp 175 facilities.  A new 10 year lease has been signed for the camp property.

 

Popcorn money should be brought in as collected.

 

Remember Troop dues for the year 2006 are due by December 15.

 

WE still can use out grown scout uniforms, so before you give them to Good Will, send them to Scout meeting and we will see that they stay active.

 

The Quartermaster shack has a termite problem causing the front left of the building to sink, making the door to the building difficult to open fully. Advice needed as to how to reclaim and repair. You know about construction? Then come on down and consult with us.

 

Next meeting we will elect officers for the 2006 Scout year. Join us on December 4 th at the Scout Hut @ 7:30 PM and cast your vote.
