COETAS CREEK CAMP

26 Scouts, 17 adults, and 1 Webelo had a great time at the January camp. No one got lost, weather was unusually warm, though we did manage to squeeze out a few degree points. Kiowa Patrol had the best campsite. The new scout officers did a good job in running the Troop. Mr. Johnson rode the truck out so he would not miss the bus.

NEEDED

–Troop Bugler

– Old scout uniforms, socks, belts, hats, t-shirts, black sweatshirts, neckerchiefs.

YELLOWSTONE UPDATE

We will stay at Grant Village when we get to the park. Reservations are made and paid for. There are 5 camps left to meet attendance requirements.
