BW>  We'll get the rockets and start putting them to 
 BW> gather.  If we put a
 BW>  man on the moon, what do ya think our two troops will 
 BW> come up with? ;->
It is always fun to launch the rockets.  The Scouts (and leaders) have a 
great time running them down when the wind catches them.
 BW> Well, I guess if there is a mini bear patch this year 
 BW> or any other new
 BW> patch in Trading Post, if ya see any "Philmont" hiking 
 BW> stick pins. Well, we will talk before you leave. 
We leave Friday morning early, so I'll need to hear from you before you head 
out to summer camp.
 BW> I take the troop to summer camp tomarrow
 BW> and I will go back out on Thursday and stay till 
 BW> Saterday.  
At least you get to spend a couple nights.  Plan for hot weather, as I hear 
that it is supposed to be around 100 by the end of the week.
 BW> Ben's Eagle
 BW> COR was short and wasn't too organized.  Very poor 
 BW> turnout.  15 people
 BW> at the most.  Sortof bummed Ben out.
Our troop put together an outline and example for a Eagle COH several years 
ago that gets updated and modified each time a Scout earns his Eagle.  It is 
not long, maybe 20 minutes or so for the formal part, but is usually followed 
by an informal reception in the Fellowship hall in the church (we have the 
more formal part in the santuary).  We don't always have a lot of folks, but 
they are nice.
 MB> I think we will be looking at the end of August or the 
 MB> first part of September.  I'll let you know, as soon 
 MB> as I know.
 BW> We three are starting to get excited.  If yall want to 
 BW> do it as a
 BW> campout, September will be fine.  Augest will be cool 
 BW> if yall want to do
 BW> a day trip.  Me, Mark, and Malcolm would probally need 
 BW> at least a meeting or two to do the basics.
We'll know about the first part of August, which will give us plenty of time.
Later.
