Check out the new style camp cards for this year. They will be available for Troop 42 scouts to at the March 13th troop meeting. Salesmanship skills instruction will be during the March 6th troop meeting. All Scouts are encouraged to sell them for fundraising for the program. With even more offers, camp cards are a great bargain at just $5! Contact your patrol leader or the camp card coordinator on the adult staff if you didn’t sign up in advance, but wish to help pay for you scout events by selling camp cards. There are extra cards available first come-first serve. Camp card fund raising ends April 30th!

Congratulations, Boy Scout Troop 42! The official 2016 Scouting’s Journey to Excellence report from our district commissioner shows the troop has a gold-quality program. The JTE assigns points for  achieving goals set by BSA. The troop earned gold points – the highest possible – on seven goals. They are Planning and budget, Advancement, Short-term camping, Long-term camping, Service projects, Patrol Method, and Leadership and family engagement. The gold ribbon is recognition from the Lewis and Clark District and Mid-America Council that Troop 42 has great Scout Spirit!
