The project site is located at Hospice of Winston Salem, off Bolton Street. Times: Saturday 9 am – 4 pm and Sunday 1 pm – 4 pm. Lunch and snacks will be provided.

The project is to plant shrubbery and build a raised bed. Bring gloves, shovels and clothes than can get dirty!

BSA Health and Safety – Our last Troop meeting before summer camp is next week. Please have your updated BSA Health and Safety form submitted by that meeting.

Aviation Merit Badge – Mr. Colburn (Avery’s Dad) has made us aware of an Aviation Camp scheduled this summer. A flyer for the camp is attached.

This camp is not a Scout activity, however, it may be that you could earn many of the requirements for the Aviation merit badge at this camp. The BSA Flying Plan Appliciation (click on this link) may be required before a demonstration flight as well.

Yard Sale – Our Philmont crew is planning a yard sale to help defray some of the trip expenses.  Mark your calendars for Sept. 10.

Donations will be welcome, so starting gathering up your items. The crew will begin collecting items about two weeks prior to the sale.
