On Wednesday August 26th in the evening starting at 6:15 our Senior Patrol Leader, Kade, and the senior troop leadership will conduct a troop leadership training.  All scouts that hold a leadership position in the troop should plan to attend.  Patrol Leader, Asst. Patrol Leaders, and Patrol Quartermaster expecially should attend. 

Scouts planning to participate in the wilderness survival portion of the September outing will be required to attend at least one of two pre-training meetings.  It is highly recommended you attend both.  The meetings will be Saturday August 22nd and 29th from 9am to 11am.  Be sure to sign up on the troop website as soon as possible so we know who will make it.  Scouts should be at least 14 years old to participate in the wilderness survival portion of the outing.  Scouts not doing wilderness survival will backpack to Upper Round Pond at Griswold Scout Reservation to camp.

Saturday there will be an all day rocket launch at the NH Jamboree sponsored by the National Association Of Rocketry.
