For the PLC - we will be having a Troop planning meeting for the upcoming calendar year starting Friday, Aug 15 at 6 pm. Dinner and drinks will be provided. This will be an overnight to 8 am on Saturday. Meeting will be held in the Youth Room upstairs.

Please plan to arrive around 6:30 pm for next Tuesday's Meeting at Bahr Farm, 969 West North Bend Road. Fun activities in "stations" such as cane pole fishing in the pond, as well as snow cones and other refreshments will be provided. 

The Merit Badge Counselor list has been updated and is attached below. When you go into the spreadsheet, the tabs at the bottom are labeled "WhitewaterTrails MB's" and "Troop 857 MB's". The Whitewater Trails MB's are those counselors in our District and the Troop 857 MB's has listed all our very own MB counselors! (Remember a Scout is Trustworthy, please do not share this list with anyone to protect the privacy of these volunteers.)

In an effort to keep our camp outs and our scouts safe and secure, we wanted to remind parents (and scouts) that having decent camping gear (better quality) such as tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads and backpacks is EXTREMELY important when dealing with weather conditions such as lots of rain, wind, snow, or very cold temperatures.

If your scout is very interested in cooking, we will have several opportunities over the next few weeks at Tuesday meetings and upcoming campouts to work on some requirements for this Cooking Merit Badge.
