Tonight’s troop meeting will be at Mary C Howse as usual.  Scouts are reminded that their $100 Fund Raising Commitment is due tonight.  Please submit payment to Mr. Mongeluzi.

This Thursday evening at 7:30 pm council will hold a Life to Eagle Seminar. This is highly recommended for any scout who is Life or close to Life and is planning on going for Eagle. The seminar will go over the process of earning the rank of Eagle Scout including the process of the Eagle project. The process and workbook have changed in 2011, so if you’ve attended in the past, it’s still highly recommended that you attend again this year.

Patrols will be conducting their own activity on Tuesday, November 22nd, because Mary C. Howse in not available.  Patrol Leaders must arrange for at least two adults to chaperone, and must be sure to inform their entire patrol of where and when you will meet, and what the activity will cost.  Drivers must be 18 or older, have a valid driver’s license, and all passengers must wear a seat belt.

We are meeting at the Grove Church parking lot at 10 AM on Saturday, November 19th.  From there we will collect the Scouting for Food bags we delivered on the 12th, hopefully filled with canned goods and other non-perishable food.  If everyone shows up on time and ready to go, we expect to be back at the church by 11 AM.

The food will be donated to the Coatesville Community Food Co-op, which
has had difficulty keeping its doors open.  The Co-op serves 65 to 70 people
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Someone will meet us at Grove to deliver it
to the Co-op.

In addition to supplying Scout-power and adult supervision, we are asking Troop 55 to bring their own food donations to add to what we collect.

Please try to help!

Saturday, November 12th – Scouting for Food AND Adopt-a-Highway.  For details on the start time and location, contact your Patrol Leader.  Any Patrol Leaders who cannot answer this question should contact their patrol members until they find someone who paid attention during circle-up (or read Mr. Penner’s e-mail).

Monday, November 14th – All adults are encouraged to attend the troop committee/adult leaders meeting at Grove United Methodist Church, starting at 7 PM.  Agenda items will include firming up plans for our 50th Anniversary celebration, approving a plan for transitioning the Scoutmaster and Advancement Coordinator positions, and identifying replacements for other key positions.
