Troop 1001,

August has come to a close, and that means the Cottonwood Art Festival is only a few weeks away. As many of you know, Cottonwood is one of the Troop's biggest fundraisers and support is needed from everyone throughout the weekend. The dates are October 2nd through October 6th. Remember that each scout is required to work eight hours and each scout family is required to work eight hours (brothers, sisters, grandparents...everyone is invited to get involved)

The SignUpGenius is live. Feel free to login and sign up for open slots. We are looking for somebody to take the reins and shadow the committee chairs this event as we’ll need new leads in May.

We're looking forward to another successful event.

If you could please consider helping me with my Eagle project, I would be very grateful!  We will be building a Gaga pit. You can see my Signup Genius HERE and register to let me know you're coming.  My first workday on Sunday 9/15 is done and we made some great progress.  I have one more workday planned on Sunday September 22nd from 9AM to Noon and 1PM to 4PM.  Please go to the Signup Genius for all the details and important information.

Thank you for supporting my Eagle project!  If you would like to contribute financial support, you can find my GoFundMe HERE as well.

Hello! My name is Steven Sun and I'm currently working on my Boy Scout Eagle Project. I've been working on making and placing a Gaga Ball Pit near the playground and baseball area in Heights Park Richardson. This Gaga Ball pit will be able to be used and enjoyed by everyone who visits the park, so whether you are able to donate funds or donate a bit of your time, I am extremely grateful!

I would very much appreciate your support for this project! No amount is too small!  Click HERE to access my GoFundMe link to donate.

Thank you!

Best Regards, Steven Sun

Do you need a new tent or backpack?  Philmont is selling some of theirs and you have the opportunity to purchase this great-quality gear from them. You can shop their selection of gear HERE if you are interested.

We are now selling our used 2013, 2014 & 2015 made for Philmont MSR Thunder Ridge tents. 

These incredible tents sold out in just days last year and will go fast again. Don't miss out! 

We are also selling used packs and canvas tents.

In-store and shipping options available on all items.

I want to inform you of an opportunity for den chief training for any scouts interested in this position.  It will be held in conjunction with Cub Scout Leader Training, but will be a separate course.  Please pass this information on to your scouts.  I can help them get matched up with a Pack if they have no affiliation already.  As a reminder, Den Chief is a position of leadership for First Class scouts and higher, and scouts must be First Class rank and higher to take this course. If you would like to take advantage of this training opportunity and become a Den Chief, please register at the link below.  Thank you, Becca Bradley goteeu@gmail.com
