Troop Program Update November 2024

Conservation Weekend Event

If you are signed up to attend the Atlanta Area Council's Conservation Weekend campout this weekend, please remember that you are responsible for your own transportation to and from the event. This is an individual scouting event, with each scout registered for their own schedule of meritbadge classes. The camp should assign all of the attendees from our troop to the same campsite when you arrive.

Advancement Chair, David Gassman (770-286-6594) will be the adult lead at the event. Please reach out to him with any questions.

Meeting Attendance

Please make every effort to help your scout make it to weekly troop meetings on time. Meetings start at 7pm sharp. Scouts in leadership should be 10-15min early to give them time to coordinate their responsibilities. It is encouraged for any scout who knows they are going to be absent to inform their Patrol Leaders in advance. Patrol Leaders who are going to be absent should always inform their Assistant Patrol Leader AND the Senior Patrol Leader.

Upcoming Dates

Signups are open for our entire program calendar. Below are the next several activities we have scheduled. Please sign up for activities as early as you can. Early signups make it much easier to plan and organize these outings.
