Scouts BSA Troop 108, Fort Mill, SC
We will be holding elections for the positions of Patrol Leader, Asst. Patrol Leader, Patrol Scribe and Patrol Quartermaster in each of our patrols on August 30th.
Have you had trouble finding someone to sew on your patches or hem your new scout pants? Or you’ve found someone and they do great work but they charge an arm and a leg? We might have just the answer…
Ms. Billie Vogel (Jayci’s mom) is now offering her sewing services to Troop 108 families at a very reasonable cost.
You can usually find her around the Scout Hut before each meeting droping Jayci off if you want to set up some work with her, or give her a call at (803) 547-7629.
The adult leaders on the canoe trip called to say that based on current speed, the entire crew should be back to the Scout Hut by 5pm today.
THE PLAN.
ALL SCOUTS that are already signed up to attend should be droped off at River Park with a filled water bottle
and bag lunch (and snacks) before 8am 8/22/2010. Mr. Bisel and Mr. Harllee will arrive at River Park at 6am and will unload the canoes. Mrs. Lowney, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Hunter and
Mr. Richardson will arrive at 6:30AM. The leaders will drive our
trucks to Landsford Canal State Park and drop them off and return to River Park by 7:30am. The group will push off downriver at 8am sharp. We will eat our bag lunch on an island about 11am after that we return to the river and head downstream toward Landsford Canal State Park.
Our plans are to be back at the scout house at 5 pm. We will update the troop’s website before 3pm if there are any changes. ~ David Harllee,SM
