Now that the Troop JLT is complete and we have our annual plan in effect, it is time to start getting to work on the important things......like the boys running their patrols and troop from this week forward. As you can probably alredy tell, SPL Tylor is well in gear with his communicating troop events and messages through facebook and email. This is part of the master plan of better communication for ALL!!
I am very proud of the boys and what they have accomplished so far. It is not easy to commit to the program and time that is needed for it.......we have excellent young men in our troop. I will always take great pride in trying to cultivate their leadership skills and interpersonal abilities through many different lessons and plans. I also want to announce a new feature that we will be starting this month: Scheduling a Scoutmaster's conference through this site. I will start making myself available certain times and days for the boys so they can get their Scoutmaster conferences in a timely manner. I believe that this is important moving forward as the adult leadership corp will be working extremely hard these next few months to help the boys advance in rank and work on merit badges.....look for this function very soon on the site!.....
That leads me to another program we are rolling out immediately......MERIT BADGE MADNESS! The adult leadership corp is looking for a few good scouts to teach, assist, and help attain merit badges for all of our boys! If your scout is looking to work on a merit badge, simply inquire who teaches it with our troop.....we will be REALLY REALLY pushing this in the next 4-6 weeks....we have lots of qualified merit badge counselors right here in Bolivar-Richburg.....lets put them to work!
I challenged the boys at last weeks meeting to try and attain at least 2 merit badges each (per active scout)....this would be a total of 38 merit badges by the time the Court of Honor comes around in April......lets help them attain this goal!
From now until the Great Scoutmaster of all times deems us worthy to meet again....
Big Mike
