Troop 398 News - Oct 11

OCTOBER CAMP OUT
We will not be going to the District Campout at Grimes Canoe Base this weekend - this was a tough decision, but we just didn't have enough scouts going to justify the expense. We just have too many things going on this weekend and this month. Any scouts and Dads who wish to travel individually and participate would be welcomed at the Camporee. David and Reed Spivey are planning to go down on Sat - if you are interested call or email Mr Spivey 867-9005 or dwspivey@yahoo.com .

WORK DAY AT THE EAGLE'S NEST
Some adults are planning a cleanup this Saturday at 8:00 AM. Come on by if you're free. If you have a battery drill that will drive dry wall screws, bring it! see you there.

TROOP EQUIPMENT
If anyone knows the where our large white plastic folding tables are, please let us know, they are missing from the troop trailer. If anyone wants a used over the stove micro wave oven, one showed up at the Nest and you are welcome to it. We are trying to get our troop tents back together if you have one, please bring it in! 

WEBB SCHOOL PARKING
Please make a note of Saturday, October 20 and Sunday, October 21. For several years, we have parked cars for Webb School during the Bell Buckle Craft Fair. Webb School pays us to do this and we pass this on to scouts who help park cars based on the hours worked. This is a good way to put some money in your scout account. A sign up sheet is posted on the bulletin board.

POPCORN
Please don’t wait until the last minute to turn in your popcorn orders.  Time is running out - all orders must be turned in by Monday, October 15th.

MTSU Merit Badge University
