NEWS:
PATROL LEADERS COUNCIL MEETING ON AUG 19:
No regular meeting tonight. All junior leaders in T230 should plan to
attend this meeting. Tonight we will finalize the yearly plan for 2009,
and make the important decisions that will set the troop's path through the
upcoming school year. If you are 14 or older, you are invited to attend
this meeting and help make the plan. All junior leaders should
attend. Full uniform is the thing to wear.
MATT MOORE IS AN EAGLE SCOUT!: On Monday night Matt Moore past
his Eagle Scout board of review and became the newest Eagle Scout in Troop
230. He is the 9th Eagle Scout in the troop this year,
and the 99th scout to wear the Eagle rank as a member of Troop 230.
Yeah! For his Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project he refurbished
two large connex containers and painted the dugouts for the Knik Little League
at Lion's Park. Matt has recently served as a Junior Assistant
Scoutmaster and served as a patrol leader for the troop's two week expedition to
the Yukon. You can check out his picture, as well as all of the
other Eagle Scouts in the Troop's history by taking this link---->EAGLE

YUKON PHOTOS ARE POSTED: We are back from
the Yukon and it was an AWESOME trip. We canoed 300 miles of the
Yukon River, following the path that the minors took a little over a century
ago. It was an incredible adventure of mostly hot days, clear
blue skies, and history made real as we lived the reality.
Even the infamous Five Fingers Rapids were no match for the
scouts! Oh yeah. The initial set of
Yukon Photos are now posted to the website and can be viewed online.
We had an awesome trip, so enjoy the pics and stand by for more. You can
look at them now by taking this link--->YUKON PICS

20-Wednesday: PHILMONT MEETING: For
all scouts who have a PRIMARY or ALTERNATE slot for Philmont Scout Ranch for
2009, there will be an important meeting at 7pm at the Community Covenant Church
in Eagle River concerning next summers expedition. When you arrive
at the church, go in the front door and look for a meeting room on the
left. Those scouts who are holding a "primary" slot for Philmont
should bring their second payment tonight, in the amount of $300.
The checks should be made out to "BSA T230" and the memo field should
be marked with the scout's name and the word PHILMONT.
TROOP MEETING SET FOR THURSDAY, AUG 28TH!!!: We are moving the meeting date/time to Thursday this week because the Lions Club will be tied up on Tuesday as a voting center and will not be available to us. For the meeting on Thursday, we will be wearing the full scout uniform. This is our kickoff meeting to start the new school year, discuss the upcoming plans for the next 12 months, and get ready for the troop elections which are scheduled for September 2nd.
