Souper Bowl of Caring

Alright Scouts.. The Village Church is holding their annual Souper Bowl of Caring the next two Sundays. They are collecting Soup: canned soup, boxed soup, soup mixes, noodles for soup etc, as well as cash donations for Second Harvest food bank.

There will be two containers to place your donations into: The GIANTS or the PATRIOTS.

So I figured let’s do a little competition between the Patrols. For the Patrol that brings in the most canned food items on 26th, gets to pick which container to place all the donations into. We will do it again on the 2nd. So you have two chances to win, but the ultimate winner will be the food bank.

Flag Ceremony Correction

The Flag Ceremony at the Cascades is 7:00-8:00PM. Sorry for the confusion.

Veteran’s Day Flag Retirement at The Cascades

We’ll be performing a flag retirement ceremony at the Cascades again this year. It will be on Friday November 11th. The ceremony begins at 7:00 PM, if you’re helping with setup, please arrive at 6:15, if you’re participating please arrive no later than 6:45. Parents are welcome to stay for the event or they can pick their Scouts up at around 8:00 PM.

We’d like to have as many Scouts as possible to participate. The veterans and their families that live in the Cascades were very appreciative last year. Full Class A uniforms are needed for this event.

All Nighter!

The PLC has decided not to attend Spookoree this year due to the cost of the event. Instead, we’ll be staying up all night guarding a roasting pig and setting up for an event at Our Lady of Good Council. This is a service project and will qualify for rank advancement needs!

Eat dinner before you come, we’ll have snacks throughout the night and breakfast in the morning. Remember to bring your water bottle and maybe a chair! We’ll have a few tents set up in case anyone wants to crash for a bit.

Drop off is at 8:00 pm on Saturday 10/22 and pickup is at 8:30 on 10/23.

Service Day at FSDB

The Troop will be volunteering at the Florida School for the Deaf & Blind on Wednesday 8/17 doing some work on the grounds. We will meet at FSDB at 8am and be done by 2pm. Please contact SM Jeff or ASM Guy for more details.

More Eagle Project Work Days

Chris from Troop 63 is still working on the Volleyball Court for the church. More sand has been delivered and he needs a lot of hands to help finish it up. Here’s the day’s he has planned.

  • Thursday July 7th 8:00am-2:00pm
  • Friday July 8th 8:00am-2:00pm Only If Needed
If you’re having trouble with transportation, let us know and he can arrange for rides. Chris really needs our help and some day soon you may need his, so let’s try to get out there and give him a hand. Remember that all hours worked go towards rank advancement requirements!
