Summer is here! Enjoy your break!

Posted on May 30 2024 - 4:25pm
It's hard to believe that school is officially out and summer is really here. 
 
The Splashway campout was a great success and fun was had by ALL. Even the leaders could be spotted on various water slides.
 
Even though we all are not meeting weekly, your new Patrol Leader Council (PLC) and adult leadership team are already hard at work making plans for next year. 
 
We're excited to see y'all for our annual ALL TROOP kickoff event meeting  (including adults) at GDX in August.
 
Remember that we still have 1 of our 4 fundraising events coming up - July 4th flags OUT and IN (June 29th and July 6th).
 
We hope that all of you will enjoy each summer camp, high adventure or your own family adventures coming your way during these couple of months.
 
Keep an eye out for events that may pop up on the troop's website and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Memorial Day 2024 Flags In (Retrieval)  Please click HERE to sign up.

Scouts and parents will meet at the parking lot of Trinity Bible Church at 8:30 AM on Saturday, June 1st to get their route assignments and get into their respective groups.

Please sign up under your patrol leader's name, if your patrol is full please sign up under another patrol  

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 pulling in the flags.

The troop will be providing bottled water for the event, but please "Be Prepared" and bring your own water bottle on Saturday.  On the positive side, we will end the event with some ice cream.

Flags OUT - Saturday May 25th (Also a few slots tomorrow afternoon (Friday) for those going on campout to be able to help)

Posted on May 23 2024 - 6:05pm

Hey Troop 1001,
First flag event of the year and it is happening the same day as a Camp Out! If you are not attending camp out please consider helping with flags.

I am adding some slots on Friday night due to the camp out. If you are unable to sign up on Saturday but are available Friday please sign up to help. I have set meeting time on Friday to 5:30 PM but if you can help a little later sign up and let me know. I expect we will still need help Saturday so please sign up Saturday if that works better for your schedule.
Text me with any questions, 817.715.5422.

If you do not have a vehicle that can carry flags, please come help and ride along with others.  Please sign up HERE so I know who is able to help.

We will be meeting at the storage unit.
Donuts and ice cream will be provided.
Thank you in advance.
Lance

Swim Test Required for ALL Water activities

Posted on May 23 2024 - 6:05pm

Completion of a BSA Swim Test is required prior to YOUR participation in ANY aquatic activity with the Troop, and must be completed every year (even if you passed it last year)

The most common reason it's needed is for Summer Camp BUT it is required for any water activities including if the troop has a canoeing campout or visits a watering hole of any kind. Adults & scouts BOTH will need this swim test completed in order to participate in any pool and/or lakefront activities. 

The troop and Council both offer swim test opportunities each spring. But never fear, now is the perfect time to get it done if you missed the dates and don't want to miss out on upcoming fun troop events. 

You're can Google BSA swim tests for the requirements or ask a pool near you. 

Here are a couple of options for this summer. 

Plano Aquatic Center
 
Texas Ford Aquatics
 

If you have any questions about the swim test, please reach out to one of the adult leaders.

Swag for Summer Camp and High Adventures! Time is running out.

Posted on May 23 2024 - 5:01pm
If you or your son are going to Summer Camp or on High Adventures this summer, it is popular to bring multiple Class Bs to wear. Check the clothes closet first but don't wait to order these as access to the Troop room is limited in the summer and sizes may sell out before restocking for next year. 
We have plenty of Class Bs in stock right now, ranging from Youth Large to 3XL.
 
See Rita with questions!
