This month the boys will be camping at Camp Baldwin (assuming there's snow) and will be cross country skiing or snow shoeing. Permission slip is now on the permission page. The time of departure was guessed at by me, so please check with your troop leaders to confirm when and where.
Have fun!

Here's the permission slip for next week.

I'm trying to play with getting a map page set up so that you all can see where we're going or where stuff is. For the school we are having our meetings at now I used a link to MapQuest. This time I'm going for Bing maps. Trying to embed a map on the site too, but no luck so far.

Next Wednesday, the 11th, between 4:00pm and 9:30pm, present the attached flier when you eat at Acapulco at Mall 205 (address is on the flier) and they'll donate 25% of food sales to the scouts.
Note: the flier says troop 719 benefits from this. Is that so, or do we change the PDF to read Troop 606? Greg (you can comment below)?

I updated the permission forms page to account for November. Print out the sheet and return it to Dan at the next available meeting.

Also, we are changing locations for a while, trying out Menlo Park Elementary school. The best parking is in the back parking lot. We will have the back door open. Meeting is in the cafeteria.

There is a new permission form on the Permission Forms page. Print it out and bring it Saturday Morning. I can't recall where the meeting place is, and I'll change it on the form as soon as I find out. For now we are meeting wherever Dan or your senior patrol leader indicated.

Travis was good enough to track these down. So if you hiked with us in August and you still need service time to get your badge, here are the opportunities he talked about (they are also on the calendar):

October 10th (this Saturday), Friends of Nadaka Nature Park and the Wilkes East Neighborhood Association are working to restore the Nadaka Nature Park. It's down in the dirt work, so bring gloves. 9AM-2:30PM.

October 24th, the city of Gresham is planning on working on some nature areas. Kelly Creek and Butler creek. Meet at the city hall at 10AM, working until 2:30.

This is a new format which should allow myself or the troopmaster, if he so desires, to add announcements to the site on a regular basis. Check back often for updates.
