Troop On Display & BBQ Sale A Big Success

Thanks to all of the scouts and leaders that were able to participate in making the 2009 Troop On Display and BBQ sale a big success.   A big “thanks” also goes out to those individuals and businesses that purchased tickets or that made outright donations to the troop.   How can we ever thank Richard  Campbell and the staff of Firebonz enough for their assistance with our BBQ sale?    If you were one of  the lucky folks who bought BBQ from us and want to get more, visit Firebonz on Cherry Road in Rock Hill.

Friday night the scouts and leaders gathered and fought the windy conditions to erect six tents in a neat  arc and to set up the axe yard.     As darkness fell, we retreated to Unity Hall where we watched the classic Boy Scout movie, “Follow Me, Boys!” with Fred McMurry and Kurt Russell.   Pizza Hut delivered several pizza’s for the group to enjoy as well.   After the movie around 11:30 the crowd settled down in the Scout Hut for a well deserved rest.

We were back up and at it again on Saturday morning as we put up the model campsite’s kitchen and gateway.   We also put up the EZ-UP to be used as BBQ sale headquarters.   ASM John Bisel brought breakfast while SM David Harlee was assisting ASM Richard Campbell in getting the BBQ off the smoker and chopped up to bring back to the event.

By 10AM we were all ready for the event and sale to begin.   We had a few folks tour the model campsite and a lot more folks drop by for the 1 pound containers of BBQ.   Scoutmaster Harllee was pleasantly surprised at how well the BBQ sale went and appreciates everyone’s efforts.   Boys are reminded to bring their tickets and/or money to the April 6th scout meeting to settle up with SM Harllee.
