Troop 1 crossed over 13 Webelos from Pack 3001 at their Blue & Gold dinner  on Saturday, February 7th, 1998.  Please welcome Alex Bates, Paul Del Ponte, Barry Gill, Jimmy Hausserman, Ian McKnight, Jason McMahon, Eric Noll, Mike Reitveld, Travis Schmidt, Nick Tseffos,  John Venturino, Patrik Wilz and Bobby Wrobleski to the troop. Along with Mike Schubert from St. Bernadette's we'll have 14 new scouts for a total of  51 scouts! Seek out these new scouts, make them welcome, and help them along the path to Eagle.

If you haven't done so lately, please make it a point to say thank you to the many adults who serve on the committee and the scoutmaster corps. I know it looks like they're having as much fun as anyone but sometimes it's a lot of work too. To do this, find an adult leader, give them a firm handshake with good eye contact and say: "Thanks!"

Wanna race like a sled dog, face challenges and compete with patrols from other troops? Well the Klondike Derby on February  21 might be for you. Troop 1 has entered this event twice in recent memory and won the patrol contest each time bringing home the coveted "Traveling Frying Pan" award. Sign up tonight, get in the traces and MUSH!
