TROOP 140 NEWS

A lot of things have happened since last May.

We have two new Eagle Scouts, Steven Drexler and Mark Hellaby. They join Eagle Scout Nick Matson. Details can be found by following the Troop 140 link on the right.

Leadership Changes

Mrs. Susan Drexler, our Troop Committee Chair has passed her duties onto Mr. Al Hellaby who will be taking over in her spot. We wish her all the best and would like to thank her for all her help, support and guidance over the past several years.

At the Troop Court of Honor on Monday, September 24, Mr. Al Hellaby announced that I am the new Scoutmaster. I'm looking forward to serving the unit in that capacity. Over the next few days and weeks, I will be outlining a plan for the year which I hope to include even more activities. I'm also looking for suggestions for a Spring 2008 camping trip. Last year it was Howe's Caverns/Cooperstown, and in 2006 we visited the Gettysburg National Battlefield. You can send your suggestions to me via email.

Our next scheduled meeting will be Monday, October 8 at 7:00pm-Legion. We will be planning and discussing our participation in the Pack 140 event on Saturday, October 13 at Oatka Creek Park. We will also hold SPL elections and assign youth leader positions. This meeting is mandatory.
