Committee Meeting!

There will be a Committee Meeting Tuesday 5/5/2009 after the regular Scout meeting.

Attention Men Going to Brazos

You must have passed your swim check before going on this camp. This Tuesday (April 28, 2009) if you can be at the Midtown YMCA at 7 PM, you can do your swim check before the Scouts get there for Swim Night. If you can’t make that just come when you can. If you can’t make Tuesday night at all, you will need to make arrangements with John Standish to get your swim check done. Safety first!

ATTENTION!!!



Due to the approaching weather, we will not attempt to go to Scott Ranch this weekend. Instead see the brief from the scoutmaster, Stephen Tillery, to see what we will do instead.

Due to the possible chance of severe winter weather this weekend, we are going to have a lock-in at the Troop 80 building this Friday night. We will get up and head to Camp Don Saturday morning as soon as the roads are clear to drive on. Friday night we will be watching movies, eating popcorn, and working on Scout skills. Saturday we will set up camp at Camp Don and do all of our Mini- Mini Camporee events. Please plan on buying your food and making all of your plans just as if it was a normal weekend campout.

Parents: we always keep the safety of your sons as the top priority!

Troop 80—- Rain or snow WE GO!

Yours in Scouting,

“JTL In One Week!”
December 27, 2008
If your Scout plans on being a Patrol Leader, Assistant Patrol Leader, or Senior Patrol Leader this year, attendance is mandatory for your Scout. JLT starts Friday, January 2, and ends Sunday, January fourth. We will meet at the troop building at 5:30 on Friday and take the bus down to Camp Don Harrington. On this weekend the men will also be holding the Annual Planning Meeting. Patrol Leaders will receive their agenda books this weekend and will be trained for leadership in Troop 80. This weekend is not just all about work though; there is much fun to be had also. So, encourage your son to be a leader and attend this training and participate in being an integral part of Troop 80’s success! RSVP here so we can get a head count.

Dues Are Due!!If you haven’t yet paid your dues, they are $35.00 and are due. Please see David Watson or Peter Friend to get them paid. Click on their names to send them and email.
