Troop Meeting Oct 5^th
Yes, we will have a troop meeting during Fall Break for those who are not out of town. We will be working on our catapult for the Fall Camporee, so we need plenty of help.  See you there!

Service Opportunity
The Webelos Den Leader from Pack 398 sent out the following request for help. You will receive service hour credit for helping out.  Saturday Oct. 10th  from  10:00 am till  5:00 pm  one  of my webelos is conducting a trash pick up at Elam  Mill Rd.  The county has been notified  and the road will be closed during this time. Even though pack 538 has been notified, the response has been very little.  If any of your troopers want to join us for a merit badge (service credit), we would welcome them, all trash bags, bottle water,trailers,will be there .  Directions…..take Rutherford blvd. to S.E. Broad (or) Manchester Hwy.; turn left, travel down about 4 miles, turn right onto Elam Road, go 2miles and look for the American flag on the stop sign.  Then turn left. Then you are there. This is the site of the old mill. We will gather at the dam at 10:00.  I  think about 3 out of ten of my webelos will be there and poss. one of the webelo:1"s and any volunteer,s we can find, pass this on to your guy's   thank's,    Brett.
Any one wishing more info ,can call Brett Barrett.
