Whitewater Safety Course – When we take a high adventure trip like whitewater canoeing, the BSA requires that we have a leader on the trip who has completed the Whitewater Safety training.
We currently have two trained leaders whose training expires this year and they will not be able to attend the training course at Camp Raven Knob to have their certification renewed.
We are in need of one or two leaders who would like to complete the whitewater safety course which will enable our Troop to participate in these kind of trips.
Here’s the catch. The training is this weekend at Camp Raven Knob. For more info on the course, download the training brochure from the Old Hickory Council website.
Thanks for your consideration in this important training course.

Troop 919 Billups Eagle Project
Eagle Project - Andy Billups is planning to work on his Eagle project this weekend and asked to share the following information with the Troop.
I will be working on my Eagle Projectthis weekend on Saturday Aug. 7th from 1pm-5pm and then Sunday from 1:30- 5:30. This would be at the scout house.
I am looking for at least 6 boys and at least 3 adults. If any adults have any building experience it would be great if they came. I will be needing a saw to cut plywood and 2x4's and a few power screwdrivers/ drills.
Also if anyone would have tape measures or squares I could use them too. Food and water will be supplied. We should get most of this done in these two days but I might need to get people next weekend as well.
