• Order of the Arrow Elections - All registered Scouts need to attend to vote for new OA members!
  
• Campout Planning

We have an opportunity to bring a Wilderness and Remote First Aid course to our Troop if there is enough interest.  It would be an evening course to be completed between now and May 1st.  This will be a significant time commitment and would most likely be spread across 4 to 5 evenings because the course requirement is 16 to 20 hours of class time.   Cost for this course is in the range of $100 per person. 

This course is required for any adult going on a high adventure trek and recommended for anyone who spends time participating in outdoor activities where help is more than 30 minutes away.  Scouts may also take this course, but they must be at least 14 years old.  The course is valid for two years and then must be retaken.

If you are interested, please contact Mr. McCormick by February 21st so that he can make arrangements.

Did you know that there is a Troop 97 Text List?  This list is used sparingly to communicate time sensitive information.  For example, it was used on October 8th and 9th to communicate information about the Fall Festival Parking Service Project.  All messages sent to the Text List are also sent to the All Troop email list.

If you would like to be added to the Text List, please send the following information to Mrs. Horton at vickynh@yahoo.com:  Name, Cell Phone Number, Cell Phone Service Provider.
