2014-2015 Troop Calendar
- Attached is a draft calendar for this year. TROOP 29 Schedule 2014-2015
- There are 3 months where the troop outing dates have not been finalized: October, April and June. The scouts will make decisions in September for October and April. As we clear the winter months we will be able to finalize June.
- Our first scout outing will be 9/26-9/28.
- Please take a few minutes to update your home calendar with the attached information.

Opportunities for Adult Involvement
- Coordinate a trip outing for a month. You would work with the Scout Master (or ASM) and the assigned patrol a few months in advance to define the details of the trip. If we can have 10 adults (each owning a month) this makes for a very manageable effort!
- Community Service Coordinator – We would like to do more community service and need assistance in identifying opportunities and assist the troop in coordinating. There are already a number of ideas the Troop Committee have brainstormed, but need help implementing.
- There will be movement in current roles (Chairman, ASM, etc) this year as families complete their scouting journey – so please begin thinking about how you can serve.
