Please consider supporting James Telford's Eagle Scout Project GoFundMe

I am launching The Real Pet Project to support Operation Kindness, a no-kill animal shelter that rescues and cares for cats and dogs in need. My project will collect donations of pet food to help replenish their supplies and ensure no pet goes hungry. With your support, we can provide lifesaving food and care, and together we'll make a real difference for the cats and dogs who depend on Operation Kindness.

Yours In Scouting,

James Telford

Cottonwood Art Festival - October 4-5

Posted on Aug 28 2025 - 6:39pm

Message:

Cottonwood Art Festival is a major fundraising event for our Troop that helps defray the costs associated with Scouting and provides an opportunity for the Troop to engage with the community by volunteering our time to the city and artists.

To ensure that our assigned volunteer duties are successful, each scout is expected to work a minimum of eight hours at the festival. All time after eight hours count toward rank volunteer hours. Troop 1001 parents/guardians are expected to volunteer a minimum of eight adult hours during the festival – wear your Troop 1001 green t-shirt. We especially need help with loading artists in on Friday and loading out on Sunday night. The entire Troop is needed to support the Cottonwood Art Festival.
