A number of scouts from troop 121 and troop 610 participated in CPC's Scout Sunday service on February 7th.  Video Link Here: https://youtu.be/fpgnb5tgQ8g

It is time for our next Court of Honor.  While we expect to hold one in March, we don't have a date or a time or a place (yet).  It is time for scouts to finish up merit badges and rank advancement work so that they can be recognized at our next COH.  Requests for a Board of Review for Rank advancement must be made to Mrs. Bunger-Spiecha by March 7th.  The deadline for completed and signed blue cards is also March 7th (hint hint those of you working on Astronomy MB).  A forwarded email from the MB counselor indicating the merit badge is completed will be sufficient in lieu of a completed paper blue card.   

The meeting on Monday, February 22 is going to be at the Red Mill. From 7:30 to 8:30. It will be outdoors so dress accordingly.  Bring and wear a mask. A camp chair might also be useful.  If you are not feeling 100% well, please stay home.  If a scout has any questions, he should contact his patrol leader. 

Free Reptile and Amphibian Merit Badge setup. 20 gallon glass aquarium with lid, thermometer, hygrometer, some leftover unused substrate, dome lamp with blue heat bulb, and furniture (log, rocks, water dish, artificial plants).   Used to care for and observe a green anole lizard for the merit badge.  Hint- really think about what your animal eats when selecting one.  Porch pickup at Mrs Bunger-Spiecha’s.  Contact her if you are interested. 

Scouts interested in working on Reading Merit Badge over the holiday break should join Mrs. Bunger-Spiecha on a zoom call at 4:30 PM on Sunday afternoon Dec 20th.  Click on "read more" to log in and access the link for the meeting.  If you want to work on the badge but cannot make it Sunday, send email to Mrs. B (me) and let me know. 

Troop dues for the 2020/2021 scouting year are now OVERDUE.  Letters were sent out on 10/26 and again on 11/23.   In spite of major increases at the National level for a third year in a row and the addition of local council fees this year, success in our fundraisers has allowed the troop dues to  remain at $170 for the fifth year in a row.  If you have not already, please remit your dues ASAP. Check made out to "Troop 121" send to
