Our Troop 97 scouts that are going to the Jamboree left Haywood Mall at 10pm for a overnight bus ride to the Jamboree.  They will be coming back on August 4th.  Have fun Scouts and drink lots of water!  YIS - Mr. Gautsch

Since most of our Troop 97 will be out for the next two Tuesdays due to being at the Jamboree there will be no scout meetings for this Tuesday and Next Tuesday.  Enjoy the time off and lets plan to meet on August 10th to do Scoutmaster reviews for those that just completed a bunch this weekend plus all those that want to go for SPL start preparing your speech. Big thanks go out to Mr. Brown and Ms Mika for this weekends campout and what was accomplished.  YIS, Mr. Gautsch

What a great time it was during the Eagle Court of Honor Sunday afternoon for Derrick Brown.  Many thanks goes out to the Brown family for all of the preparation and details that made the ceremony one to remember.  A special thank-you goes to Sharon Brown for all of the hard work and attention to detail for the ceremony.  I am always amazed and proud of our scouts when they have reached this pinnacle in scouting.  Thank-you scouts and families for attending and participating in the ceremony.  Thank-you Suzanne Mika and Franticek for taking pictures and filming.  These pictures are posted in the Photo Albums title under the Menu on the left.  Bob Gautsch

For those attending the Jamboree - the plan is to meet at the overflow parking behind Haywood Mall in Greenville at 7:30pm to leave at 10pm.  You should be given a backpack, water bottle and jambo hat at that time.  Please bring any forgotten to pack items to load into your backpack plus things you plan to carry.  You need to be in full Jambo Class A uniforms.  Please eat dinner before you arrive.  More details to follow Tuesday night from My Culwell.
