September Court of Honor

  The troop had a Court of Honor on the 14th of September.  Which is basically an award ceremony.  All the merit badges, ranks, or any other awards that the scouts earned after the last court of honor are presented to them.

  Here are pictures that were taken during the award ceremony.

Flag Retirement at Elma

  Sunday, the troop went to Elma and met troop 4014 at the memorial park to retire some American flags.  The whole troop was in full uniform, it was probably 90 degrees out, and there was a fire going to burn the flags.  We were all very warm.

  As always, here are some of the pictures that were taken.

Summer Camp

Summer camp this year was at Camp Parsons, one of the coolest camps ever! Parsons has mostly swimming and boating merit badges, probably because it has a very nice waterfront. The camp is right off of Jackson cove, which is off of Dabob Bay.  Here are some pictures taken during the summer camp at Parsons.
