Our next ScoutIng at Home challenge is to build a water filter/purifier. There are several designs you can choose from. You just need to choose a design, put it together, test it out then explain how it works at our troop meeting on April 30th. Have fun! Here are links to some designs:
During the coming weeks, you can keep on Scouting at home. You can advance in rank by reading the Scout Handbook and practicing your scout skills. You can work through merit badges with counselors in our troop using your computer and phone. If you want to work and a merit badge and need a counselor, please reach out to Mrs. Trent (our advancement chair) and she will hook you up. I can't think of a more appropriate time to work on Emergency Preparedness, for example (Mr. Linderman is a counselor for that). Cooking is also a wonderful skill to apply now that you're at home a lot.
We currently expect 5 Webelos from Pack 5 to crossover to Troop 414. We need scouts to attend the crossover ceremony on Friday January 8th to receive them into our troop. Please sign up here so we know how many scouts we will make it.
