Flag Season 2025 Route Preparation

Posted on Apr 2 2025 - 2:00pm

Flag Season 2025 Route Preparation

When: Saturday, April 12th

Time: 8:30 am - 11:00 (Please be on time)

Where: Trinity Bible Church parking lot (400 W. Cambell Road)

Scouts and parents will gather outside at the Trinity Bible Church parking lot to pick up the needed equipment and their route sheet.  Scouts should wear their Class B uniform (& adults as well, if you have the Troop 1001 green T-shirt).  In addition, scouts and parents please bring
  1. channel locks or plyers
  2. a mask or bandana
  3. grass clippers (just 1 pair per scout)
  4. work gloves (if desired)
We need 12 total scouts and 4 drivers for the maintenance event. 
 

Please bring your own water bottle.  If you don't have a pair of clippers, the troop has a few that you can borrow.  

Unlike other Flag Program events, which are fund raising events for the troop, the proceeds from this event will go to the individual's Scout Account and can be used to help pay for summer camp, etc.  The scouts participating can earn up to $50 (or more depending on the number of flag locations prepped.)

Thank you

Cottonwood is coming...only 4 weeks away!

Posted on Apr 2 2025 - 1:59pm

Troop 1001,

It’s that time of year again that we start gearing up for the Cottonwood Art Festival. To start, I’d like to welcome our two new committee chairs, Jill Belton & Chris Dudley. The festival is only five weeks away, and as many of you know, Cottonwood is one of the Troop's biggest fundraisers, so support is needed from everyone throughout the weekend. The dates are May 1st through May 4th.

PLEASE READ the attachment for details of the event.
