Congratulations to the Scouts in Troop 60! Since January, our 15 active Scouts have earned 7 rank advancements, 55 merit badges, and benefited the community with many many hours of community service. 12 Scouts went to summer camp and one attended National Youth Leadership Training and is going to Jamboree.

Last night we had our Court of Honor to celebrate their many accomplishments!

Much appreciation goes to the adult leaders and parents for their support of Troop 60! The Scouts couldn’t do all the fun activities they plan without the help.

Have a wonderful break, and Troop 60 will reconvene on August 17th at 7:00 pm for the return to our regular meetings. See you then!

Just a gentle reminder that Troop 60 will not be meeting tonight. We are up at Garland for Summer Camp!

Next week at our regular meeting time will be our Court of Honor: see you then!

June meetings have been great fun! June 1st, Scouts learned the proper way to sharpen different tools as part of their Woodworking merit badge, under the careful attention of the many adult volunteers who help keep Troop 60 going (thank you all!):

Then, on June 8th, Scouts discussed Summer Camp preparations, packing lists, and other details of their upcoming campout.

On June 15, Scouts broke into their patrols to build projects as part of the service aspect of the Woodworking badge. The Barracudas were first to complete their woodworking project and the Hammerheads stayed a bit late to wrap up theirs:

Lots of fun was had by all!

This Sunday, Scouts attending Summer Camp need to be in the parking lot at noon with their gear, ready to go! If you need another copy of the packing list, it’s in the Summer Camp guide linked above in Forms and Files.

Finally, our Court of Honor is coming up June 29th and then we break until August. Be sure you’ve let Jenn A. know what you’ll be bringing to our celebration of all the Scouts’ hard work.
