Message:

Saturday, July 12th at 8:30 am - ONLY 6 scouts are signed up & 5 cars - We need MORE HELP. (Adults can still come without scouts or a vehicle to carry flags.)

Scouts and parents will meet at Trinity Bible Church to get their route assignments and get into their respective groups.

Please sign up here under any patrol leader's name. If your patrol is full you can sign up under another patrol. Parents please provide your phone number when signing up.

Scouts please wear your Class B uniform, and if you desire, work gloves. Adults if you have a green Troop 1001 T-shirt please wear it. We want the neighborhood to know that it is the scouts putting out the flags.

Please "Be Prepared" and bring your own water bottle on Saturday. We will end the event with some ice cream.

Troop 1001 2025-2026 Scouting Year Kickoff Party with an overnight lock-in for the youth at Group Dynamix, an indoor ropes course and team building facility in Carrollton.

Saturday, August 9th @ 9pm - Sunday 10th 7am. MUST RSVP by July 24th HERE

Ropes courses, games, challenges and late-night pizza! $55 per Scout covers the all-night program & pizza/a couple of snacks (no drinks) They should bring water bottles and there are water fountains.

Feed your child dinner BEFORE the event. The cost of the event does not include additional money for vending machines so send your scouts with some extra cash if they would like extras. Pizza will be served late at night (10:30 ish) so each scout should have dinner before arriving. Dress in activity uniform (formerly referred to as Class B). Closed-toe shoes are required. Scouts who feel they may not stay up all night may plan to crash on the floor or may bring a sleeping bag.

All the fun will conclude at 7:00am sharp on Sunday morning. Parents should arrive promptly to scrape up their scouts and allow the leaders to go home and recover from the night.

Each participant will need to complete the online GDX waiver and bring a signed copy with them to form-up.
For Scouts, the GDX waiver must be completed by a parent or legal guardian along with a Troop Permission Form.

Changes to Youth Protection Training

Posted on Jul 7 2025 - 10:08am

Message:

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Scouting America has replaced the previous Youth Protection Training (YPT) with a new course called Safeguarding Youth. If you have an active YPT certification, it remains valid until your expiration date or May 2026 (whichever comes first). Once it has expired, you'll need to take the full new course, and then a 15-minute refresher course once a year to stay current.

Course Details:
- Duration: ~90 minutes
- Access it through my.scouting.org
- Requirements: Complete all lessons + score 80% or higher on the final test

To learn more, view a recent interview with Chief Safeguarding Officer Glen Pounder at the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcmtpH_Bq-Q
