** NOTES **

Scout Competitions will be centered on basic Scout skills and teamwork. Come prepared to be surprised by some new challenges.

Visiting Webelos may form their own patrol, participate with their host Troop, or simply observe and encourage the competition.

The Scoutmaster Minute competition is an opportunity to present your best story, tall-tale, or meaningful thought to the closing campfire assembly.  We ask all Scoutmasters to participate or at least have one adult representative from each Troop make a presentation. It is suggested the presentation be limited to three (3) minutes +/-

The entire troop will have a opportunity to help with a service project on Saturday afternoon to benefit the gracious host for this years Winter Camporee.  

  

See You Next Year and Thanks for Coming,

Drive safely going home!
