Next Meeting, Tuesday, October 23
We have a fun filled week planning for the ever-popular Fort Wayne outing! The scouts will also be sorting the cooking gear. Ms. Simonelli will provide details for our annual fundraiser.
We also expect several Cub Scouts (Webelos or Arrow of Light) and their families. This meeting along with weekend outing is a big recruiting time for our Troop. All of our scouts are role models for these crossovers and even more than normal, scouts should be on their best behavior.
Fort Wayne Outing, November 3 to 5
Fort Wayne Outing, November 3 to 5
This outing was brought back by popular demand; the last time we visited, scouts had a blast. This year there is an additional twist, activities include:
· Tour / explore the Fort
· Service project at the Fort
· Tour the U.S. Border Patrol Crossing (nearby)
· Drones – learn how to fly a drone!
Additional details:
· All are welcome to sleep in tents on the Fort's parade ground or in the Fort's heated military barracks; Boy Scouts and AOL Scouts sleeping in tents should sleep with another Scout; bring your own tent or use a Troop tent.
· All Scouts will operate in a patrol, preparing their own meals, etc.
· We'll all visit the Border Patrol Saturday morning at 9:00 am; the rest of the day will be spent doing the other awesomely FUN activities!

Website News (reminder)
Website News (reminder)
If you have been online recently you may have seen a few changes. First, Derrick Hakim has resurrected our old Troop website from Google and has launched the new http://t1005.org website. This one location will give you access to information about the troop and link you back to Troop Track and the page for event registration and payment. There is even a fully functional calendar you can integrate with Outlook or your Phone.
Please take a look and thank Derrick for his hard work in getting it started.
Additionally, we had established a Facebook presence last year, but never really got it started. With Jim Kruger and Derrick Hakim there are signs of life! It is just getting started, but there is already some great photos and event information being shared. Check it out: https://www.facebook.com/troop1005mi/
