Service Project this Saturday

This Saturday, November 15th, from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm at the First Lutheran School in Monrovia, Ryan Enzenauer will be working his Eagle service project. All are invited to come and “act like Tom Sawyer” by helping Ryan paint the school picket fences.

Dress in painting clothes and bring work gloves. Extra paint brushes, paint scrapers, small coffee cans (for paint) and other painting material will be appreciated.

Donuts will be served for breakfast and lunch will be provided. The school is located at 1323 S Magnolia Ave, in Monrovia (between Huntington and Duarte Rd).

Summer Ideas due by January 5th Meeting

Three days of backpacking, canoeing down the Russian River, or or just getting to the top of a peak all takes planning.

Your ideas as to the adventure are needed by the January 5th meeting. If you have an idea but aren't sure about it let's investigate it further and see what we come up with.

Ideas will be presented to the troop in February or March. Scouts, leaders, and families will then have a chance to review the dates and other requirements so that commitments can be made.

Send all ideas to Phil Incikaya at (philinch@earthlink.net)

Cherry Valley August 2-8

Cherry Valley Dates: 2009: August 2-8 2010: August 8-14 2011: July 31-August 6

Get with the Tribe of Torqua and plan on your son attending Camp Cherry Valley on Catalina Island. It is a memory they will never forget. Cherry Valley is exciting for all ages. Older boys can enjoy sailing, diving, canoeing and other sports, while the younger boys can enjoy archery, shooting, aquatics and being away learning skills on their own. All can work on class advancement and merit badges. Camp is less than $490 for the week and includes all meals, activities, and transportation (price varies depending on the cost of transportation).

Congratulations to:
