Karen Higgins will be teaching the God and Church class for Scouts in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades starting Jan 19th. We will meet Tuesday evenings 7-8:30 PM for 6 weeks. This is a Protestant curriculum from the PRAY (Programs of Religious Activities with Youth) organization. Scouts will grow in faith while learning about church worship and ministries. This will include daily Bible reading for 21 days and helping with a community service project with a church ministry. The class will be held at the office of Chesapeake Community of Hope Lutheran Church, 209 Dominion Blvd. If Scouts currently attend a church, some of the work will be done with their own churches. The cost is $18 and includes all materials and the medallion award. If you're interested, please review the attached flyer and sign up by Jan 13th so we can get the workbooks. |

The Troop Family Ski Trip will be March 26th-28th, 2010. This is a great trip that the entire family is welcome to attend. Boys who wish to attend but have no family members going must have another family adopt them for the weekend. We will once again be going to the Timberline Resort in Davis, West Virginia. It is about a five hour drive. The cost is $89.99 per person. This includes 2 nights in the bunkhouse, 2 days lift tickets, 2 days ski rental, one ski lesson and 5 meals. It is an awesome price and a great time! We will also work on the Snow sports merit badge for anyone interested. Please see the attached sheet for additional information. |
