Hi Scouts, my Eagle Project is Sat, March 13 .

It is be a landscaping project on a slope. As of right now, the slope has no vegetation and is poorly accustomed to rain and other rough weather conditions. My project will add roughly 800 plants to the slope and should make the slope much more strong, protecting it from rain and such.

Sign up for your cleaning shift at the Elk's Lodge

Scouts, we're back meeting in person at the Elk's Lodge on Feb. 3 so we need to restart our signups and cleaning schedule on Fridays. Remember, as a service to the Mission Viejo Elk's Lodge for allowing us to use their patio for our meetings, we need 2-4 scouts each Friday at 4:00-5:00 p.m. to clean up the patio area before their Friday night dinner meeting. Cleaning entails using an electric leaf blower to blow leaves and debris off the patio, wiping down the tables and chairs, and setting up placecards at the tables. All scouts are expected to take a turn at least once a quarter, if not more. Please click on the Sign-up Genius link below to sign up for your shift.

Merit Badge Counselors needed

Posted by nsouza on Nov 24 2020 - 7:02pm

Message:

Parents, we could use some additional merit badge counselors for the scouts in our troop. You don't need any special expertise, just an interest and basic knowledge of the merit badge. You'll also need to fill out some paperwork and take some online training, but that only helps you know what you're doing! Attached is a list of merit badges that have no counselor in our troop. If any of these appeal to you, and you'd like to help us out, please contact Nancy Souza at nancysuesouza@gmail.com.
