Direct from the SPL: The first troop meeting is going to be on the 14th. (Or this coming Wednesday) The theme for the month is Wilderness Survival. For the 14th you need to bring a tarp or a large poncho that you can make a shelter out of. You need para-cord too. Meet at Church of the Hills. 7:00pm. On the 14 we are also doing the troop elections. Before you come to the meeting start to think about what you want to do in the next 6 months. Have a few ideas before you come. We are also picking the summer camp we want to go to next year. So do some research on out of state camps and have reasons why you think it would be a good place for the troop.
