Monday 8/1/2022 Plans

Good evening everyone!!!

This weekend was another multi-event weekend as we had one group of scouts take the Stamp Collecting merit badge at Charlotte’s Philatelic Society Annual Stamp Show while another group took the Tennessee caving challenge at The Lost Sea Adventure. Check out pictures from our Tennessee trip in our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ILTroop275

For tomorrow, please have your knifes sharpen and bring a bar of soap as we will be working on knife safety and soap carving.

Looking ahead:
1. All Arrowmen and inductees into the Order of the Arrow, please note that the Summer Ordeal is next weekend from August 5th thru the 7th at GOLS. If you haven’t register, please go to the attached link now (tonight is the last night to register): https://palmettocouncil.org/oa-registrati
2. For those that want to participate in the Friday August 12 field trip to the Lancaster Police Department and the Fort Mill Fire Department, please let me know THIS WEEK if you’re impacted by either the 7th grade orientation at Indian Land Intermediate School or by the 9th grade meeting at Indian Land High School, both of which are held on the same day. If it turns out that the majority of you are unable to attend, then I will work on rescheduling this event to another date. Again, only if it impacts that majority of the attendees.
