Upcoming Court of Honor |
|

| In other news, apparently there still will be finals going on after May 31, and it might not be the best time after all to have our Court of Honor. On the other hand, if we move it out a week to June 7, some people may be out of town. New poll at left: which would you prefer? |

Memorial Day Weekend Meeting? |
|
Posted by: Scoutmaster on 05/19/2009 04:28 PM

Since we have a Court of Honor coming up on May 31st, I thought it would be a good idea to have a limited meeting the week before: no patrol meetings, activities, or formalities, just what we can do to finish up advancement requirements (merit badges, SM conferences, Boards of Review). Depends on what people want, though, so I'm putting up a poll to gauge interest. Please vote at left. Thanks.
BY THE WAY: The idea is that this meeting will be OPTIONAL. Only those Scouts who need something related to advancement, plus Scouters who can help with merit badges or Boards of Review, need to attend.
Okay, the results are in: we will have an informal, OPTIONAL meeting on Sunday. I will be there no later than 5:30, since I have to leave by 7:00 (there's a 7:30 St. Paul baseball game). |

Troop Trailer Break-In |
|
Posted by: scarpenter on 04/29/2009 01:51 AM

About a year ago, the last time thieves visited the Boy Scout Troop 728 Trailer, at Saint Paul’s Catholic Church, in Richardson, they nearly emptied it, stealing thousands of dollars of outdoor gear and property used in the Scouting Program.
This year, the thieves had to work a lot harder at it. The lessons the Scouts learned from their losses last year lead to many security upgrades by the Boy Scout Troop, for their trailer. Unable to bypass the upgraded security, the thieves resorted to brute force and unconventional thinking to gain entry into the trailer. It may have been that noisy brute force that attracted unwanted attention, and sent them away with less of our gear.
Anyone wanting to help offset the cost to the Troop for repairs, and gear replacement, please contact the Scoutmaster, Mike Koenecke at sm@troop728.net.
The troop trailer had to be moved to a secure location until repairs can be made. |

What's great about this new program is there's NO DELIVERY EFFORT on our part & our troop still gets the full 28% commission. So if anyone - near or far - wants to buy more popcorn, this is a great way for us to increase the Troop's income. Customers order directly from Trail's End via the website. Shipment is directly to the customer. Order & individual account code info has been emailed. Our Troop code is TECT020
Use this link to get started: www.orderpopcorn.com
Use this link to email friends & family with your individual code: www.sendtrailsend.com
Contact the Popcorn Kernel with any questions.
