The project will start at 10 AM on Sunday and go until we are finished spreading barkchips, so i need wheel barrows, rakes, and shovels. Water, granola bars, and apples will be provided. These Hours will count toward service hours for rank. I need a lot of Help so please come if you are available.

Scouts should pack everything except their FULL UNIFORM and RAIN GEAR. Also scouts that still need to make payment for the trip can do so at this time. Meet at the troop building between 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM.

Reminder there will not be a weekly troop meeting on Thursday November 10 due to the troop camping trip to Washington DC.

You may have noticed that the 'Home' tab is no longer in the site main navigation menu. It has been removed to make room for additional enhancements to the site supporting new functionality in the future.

The home tab is actually redundant since a Home control is present in the platform menu area at the very top of the site. The home (or Default) page can also be navigated to by clicking the "BSA Troop 191" text logo in the masthead graphic of the site. On supported mobile devices the home page may be accessed by clicking "BSA Troop 191".

Scouts attending the Washington DC Camping Trip on Thursday November 10 through Sunday November 13 must have this permission form completed and signed by a parent or guardian. When completing the form parents must be sure to list a emergency contact number where they can be reached throughout the trip duration.
