T17 - Week of November 22nd posted 09/22/26

Close window

Tonight, scouts will be competing with their friends for honor patrol points and bragging rights in Scout Olympics Those interested in working on the First Aid merit badge should show up at 7:00 PM tonight with the ability to take notes (your choice of methods but we dont recommend stone tablets any longer). Scouts should be 14 years old and First Class rank already. If you are close to those, please come and we can discuss it further. This is an intense, Eagle required, merit badge that will take multiple months to complete. Upcoming event - REGISTER NOW Coastal Campout over fall break (10/9-10/12) sign up now on the troop website! We have a special campout planned for October which requires a bit more logistical planning, thus we would like you to sign up early through the registration section of the troop website (under Members) so we have a good headcount (direct link http://www.troop17.net/link?25). Please reach out to Mr. Rekieta (kenrek4@att.net) if you do not have a login. Campout highlights - We will camp at Goose Island State Park and spend Saturday enjoying fishing, crabbing and relaxing, plus a visit to The Big Tree (the oldest Live Oak in Texas). Then on Sunday we will head to Port Aransas for a day at the beach with swimming, fishing, boogie boarding and a stop at the souvenir shop on the way back to camp. The OF will be hosting a shrimp boil and fish fry for a couple of our dinners in camp. Monday we will pack up and head home with a BBQ lunch stop in Lockhart Texas on the way back. The cost for this campout will be $75. We will meet at the scout lodge to depart on the bus on Friday morning and return on Monday afternoon/evening. If your son doesnt have the same fall break schedule but is interested in going, please let Mr. Virden (virden@flash.net) or Mr. Nelson know (andycnelson@gmail.com). There is the possibility we may have some folks driving out separately Saturday morning or coming back Sunday evening . See you tonight! Mr. Lunsford (Scoutmaster On Duty) Mr. Turner (Assistant Scoutmaster for Email Writing)
