Rock Island Report

We arrived at our campsite Friday evening. We set up our tents, had cracker barrel, and went to sleep. The next morning we had breakfast and got our canoes and kayaks ready. Then we headed out on the water. We went about six miles then started looking for a place to eat lunch. After about five minutes we found a nice place on the bank to eat. There, we spent about an hour helping the new wolverines with their canoeing merit badge. When we were done, we went back to camp and swam a little. That night after dinner the Hurtles told stories around the camp fire. Then we went to bed at  around ten. The next morning, we ate breakfast and packed up. We then drove to a waterfall and swam for awhile. We ate lunch then drove back to the church. The weather was great and everyone had a great time.

Wave Pool Report

We rode our bikes to the wave pool on August 20th. We left from the church in the morning and rode through Shelby Bottoms and over the bridge. Those of us that did the ten mile ride stayed at the pool. The others rode an extra fifteen miles and met us later. We had a lot of fun riding slides and swimming. We cooked hot dogs for lunch, and some of us had snacks at the snack bar. After we were done swimming we left in the afternoon and rode back to the church. Everyone had a great time.

Tomato Festival Fundraiser

  • The Kids area at the Tomato Festival opened early this year to beat the heat. We sold Becky’s famous sausage biscuits with a slice of tomato, muffins, and coffee. Later in the day we fired up the grill and served hotdogs. The snowcones were a big hit again. We had a really good crowd, it was a successful fundraiser, and we had a lot of fun!

Leadership troop information update

New Leadership

Troop 3 had elections this past week at the meeting. Tonight, the website committee met at Ugly Mugs to begin the transition. Antonin, the former webmaster helped to train the new webmaster, Johan, and assistant webmaster, Josh, by updating all of the scout pages with the new leadership positions.

Our former Senior Patrol Leader, Rhys, has been appointed to a new position in the troop, the Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. This new role will be responsible for managing community service opportunities, including Tomato Fest and Feeding the Homeless at the Downtown Presbyterian Church.

The new Senior Patrol Leader, Jordan, chose Eric to be his Assistant Senior Patrol Leader.

Here are some links where you can see a full list of the new Troop Leaders, Hurtles Leaders, and Wolverines Leaders.
