Bell Buckle Fund Raiser
We are trying to develop this into a fund raiser that will provide significant $’s to help off reduce the costs of our High Adventure Trips each summer. Scouts who are going canoeing in Canada next summer will be the beneficiaries this year. Down the road, we are looking at Philmont backpacking in 2013 and Key West sailing in 2014 – everyone planning to go on these trips will benefit in future years.This is a big undertaking that has the potential to net some really big bucks. Here is the list of those who have signed up. Dennis Harden and Mike Warren will be there both days. Class A is the uniform for all Scouts - Adults- golf shirts or class A or what ever.
Mr. Harden suggests that those parking cars bring and extra pair of shoes and socks since feet tend to get wet from the dew when parking cars.
Go to our parking location to park your own car to avoid a fee.
Questions, call Dennis at 631-0080 or Mike at 473-7076.

Troop Meeting - Oct. 17th
Monday Sept. 19th will be a planning meeting. PLC at 7:00 PM. For those of you who are new to the troop, we normally have one Monday night meeting per month that is dedicated to planning for future meetings and events. Only members of the Patrol Leaders’ Council (PLC) are expected to attend. That normally includes the Senior Patrol Leader, Assistant SPL’s, Patrol Leaders,Troop Guide, Scribe, and Quartermaster.
A Patrol Leader who cannot attend the PLC is expected to select a patrol member to attend in his place to represent the patrol. The Senior Patrol Leader conducts the PLC. The Scoutmaster serves as an Advisor to the group.
Mr. Holtman, Troop Treasurer is available to accept registration forms or handle financial matters if you want to drop by.
Our next regular Troop meeting will be held on Oct. 26.
POPCORN ORDERS ARE DUE OCT 26!!!!!
No Troop Meeting will be held on Halloween, Oct. 31st
November Camp Out
We will be going backpacking Nov. 11-13. Unsure of the destination – pass on your ideas to your patrol leader. We will make a decision next Monday night at the PLC.
We have backpacks in a variety of sizes that can be checked out from the troop.
Scout Day at MTSU – Saturfday Nov. 19th
Dear Scout leaders,
ATTN: There is one change that I would like to make from the previous invite to the MTSU Scout Day. In addition to the football game, you will now also be able to attend the men’s basketball game following the football game for FREE using your football ticket stub. That’s right…2 games for the price of 1. The men’s basketball game (vs. UNC-Greensboro as part of the EA Sports Maui Invitation) is scheduled to tip off at 5:00pm, which will be around the same time the football game is concluding. The football game will kick-off around 2-2:30pm.
I would like to invite you to MTSU’s Annual Scout Day, taking place on Saturday, November 19th. With the tremendous success of last year’s event, we have decided to once again host the Scout Day along with our Salute to Armed Services and Veterans Day. Join us for an afternoon full of fun, family and football including:
· 2011 limited edition Scout patch
· Seats in the Family Fun Zone including free face painting, balloon artist, and children’s inflatable’s
· Your Troop/Pack name on the Blue Tube
· Take the field as part of the High-Five Tunnel
· A salute to thousands of military personal during a special half-time ceremony
· Explore military vehicles prior to kick-off around Floyd Stadium and much more!
(A Scout Day flyer with an outline of information for the event will be posted on the Troop bulletin board along with a sign-up sheet.) Additionally, all groups that decide to attend and purchase tickets will be emailed a detailed information sheet three weeks prior to the event including parking suggestions and information packet pick-up. Also, in a change from last year’s event, the Scout patches will be available at the game this year.
In 2009, MTSU’s Scout Day had nearly 500 Scouts in attendance. In 2010, that number soared to an incredible 1,950 Scouts from Middle-Tennessee. We look forward to seeing what Scout Day 2011 has in store and continuing to make the day a special memory for all of you that join us!
Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing you on November 19th!
Sincerely,
James Kentfield

Service Opportunity – Preparing For Titans Breast Cancer Awareness Game
I received this email from David Williams at the Council Office. This opportunity will be limited to the first 225 Boy Scouts and leaders who sign up so we need to get back to him right away if we want to participate. Please Email me right away if you want to participate. We’ll need some adult leaders to go also.
Mike,
We would like to invite your troop as one of a select few to participate in a great event on October 22. This is the day before the next Titan’s home game. This is a chance of a lifetime for our Boy Scouts and incredible opportunity.
We are truly excited about the opportunity to participate in the Titan’s Breast Cancer Awareness game.
Here are the basics:
We are going to help the Titans turn LP Field PINK in a flash card event
This is the first time this will be done at an NFL game for Breast Cancer
We will be shooting a time lapse video for you tube that will hopefully go viral through the Titans and the NFL
We need 250 people for 4hours to tape flash cards to 65,000 seats
This event is limited to Boy Scouts – there will be no Cub Scouts due to the nature of the task and the time demands
25 Zone Captains will lead Scouts in their assigned area
8:30 ~ Zone Captains arrive at LP Field for training
9:30 ~ 225 scouts (this would be your troop) arrive to be briefed and take group photo
10 a.m. – 2 p.m. ~ turning LP Field pink (depending on weather)
Lunch will be provided
We will send every participant a nice event photo
We are requiring a full field uniform (commonly referred to as a Class A) – absolutely no jeans / correct Scout uniform pants
If adults are participating and they own a full uniform, we request they wear it
What questions do you have and would your troop like to participate?
It will be limited to the first 225 Boy Scouts and leaders.
Thanks,
David

Bell Buckle Craft Fair
We will need a lot of help for this fund raiser on October 15 & 16. We will be manning a cooking booth as well as parking cars for Webb School. Any money we make will go toward next summer’s high adventure canoeing trip to Canada. All crew members are expected to participate. A sign up sheet is posted.
October Campout Latimer High Adventure Base (This Weekend)
Thanks to Fall Break, we will be departing at several different times. It’s a 2 – 3 hour drive so car-pooling would be a good idea. Adults who want to car pool should make their own arrangements. Breakfast will be at 7:00 AM on Sat. Opening ceremony will be at 9:00 am. Bring a change of clothes – there’s a good chance you’ll get wet during the canoe races. Bring a canteen. Bring your handbook if you plan to pass anything off this weekend. Chapel will be at 8:30 on Sun. We plan to return to Murfreesboro by 1:30 PM on Sunday. Be advised, cell phone reception is very poor or non-existent at the camp.
I need to hear from Kyle Ceder and Mitchell Jacobs and anyone else going on the camp out who is not mentioned below – let me know when you want to go up so I can link you up with a driver.
