Parents - Scouts and Scouters -

I wanted to share the following blog link to a story about a Scoutmaster of mine from 1973 - he was my first scoutmaster and I was in the fifth grade at a new school, Collins Elementary.

Kim Wetherbee has graciously agreed to offer the Horsemanship Merit Badge to Scouts 12+ years old in either Troop 345B or 345G this October-November. Scouts must attend ALL SESSIONS (including the campout) to earn the Merit Badge. Keeping reading for more details ...

Congratulations to our Newest Eagle Scout Maggie Lintner!  - Eagle Scout Date 7/26/2022 - Please join us in celebrating her accomplishments at her August 14th Court of Honor.  More details can be found on the troop calendar.

We would like to start by Thanking the people that stuck with us while we worked through the Merit Badge Counselor issues with Council over the last year!  It wasn't easy .. & often VERY frustrating, but we are FINALLY seeing traction.  The Good News is we are on getting new Merit Badges loaded to profiles in a timely fashion (Yes!  Jeff C is loaded back on system!).  We're even seeing new applications loaded into ScoutBook (Yay .. Eric S is there!).  The Bad News is we now have large gaps in our approved MBC list.  Here’s what we’ve found out:

 Hey - the Gerber Lettuce Patrol has requested Cit in Society MB

Dates are on the Troop Calendar for those night  July 21, 25, 28  6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Troop 345B doesn't have regular Thursday meetings during the summer but  that doesn't mean we aren't having fun!  Check the calendar for some fun summer events.  We have hikes, a 5 Gallon Bucket Campout, a Canoe/Hike of the Ford Trail, Leave No Trace training, and more!  Keep working on finishing up your merit badges and setting goals for your next rank advancement.  Remember to save the dates and sign up early for the fall campouts.  Have you seen the summer camp photos?  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LMPBNCvZw1o
