Fall Flower Sales Have Begun

Troop 1910’s Fall Flower Fundraiser has begun. The Troop is selling: flats of 18 pansies in various types and colors Price per flat: $17 (very competitive with stores) Profit per flat: $6 per flat directly into your Scout account and $2 per flat to the Troop Orders and money are due: Monday, September 24th  (If you cannot attend the meeting that night, you may email the scanned order form to Kelly Morgan and make arrangements to get the payment to her.)  A Scout is Thrifty.  A Scout works to pay his own way…  Sell 22 flats... pay your dues for the next year. Sell approximately 50-60 flats… pay for summer camp. You get the idea. You will pick up the flats you sell and deliver them when they arrive. They are scheduled to be delivered in October. In the past, they have coordinated our delivery on a Monday afternoon prior to our meeting. The flowers are grown locally and have been very hardy plants. A printable sheet showcasing all available colors is HERE Order F

Jamboree - A Scout's Perspective

Image
My dad and I just got back from the 2019 24th World Scout Jamboree. It was probably one of the best experiences in my life (next to Philmont). The Jamboree offered hundreds of new opportunities and experiences for everybody. Our Jamboree consisted of 45,000 people from 150+ countries. Everyday, I met new people and learned about their cultures.  I even got the chance to eat with other countries where they served meals from their culture.     Trading is one of the main activities at every Jamboree. No matter what country you are from, everybody wants international items to take back home. When meeting other people, there is always a desire to trade with them. You can swap anything from patches and neckerchiefs, to hats and uniforms.  Almost everybody has something to trade, so if you get to attend a future Jamboree, don’t be shy to ask. Some scouts would set out blankets and put their items on the blanket like a street market. Some scouts would spend their whole ti

Calling All Superheroes

Image
We desperately need people to step up and be SUPERHEROES for our Troop. HOW?   I'm glad you asked!   We need volunteers to help make kilts for the November Highland Games. Before you stop reading, please understand that you do NOT have to be an expert seamstress to do this. It's straight lines with much forgiveness given. Amy Hunter did this in the past, so she will be very helpful to get information on how, what, where, etc. There are several folks that have helped sew kilts in the past, and we have a lot of new Scouts that will need kilts I’m sure, so the sooner this starts, the better, as sizes must be measured at Troop meetings to start the making of the kilts. Anyone willing, please let me know ASAP – just text 817-944-7043

Scouts BSA Fair

Image
Each year our District holds a Scout Fair which allows all area Troops to set up and provide information on our unit to prospective Webelos or Scouts who are interested or will soon be making their determinations on which Troop is right for them.  We are participating in the Scout Fair September 15 from 2-4:30 pm (Yes, this is the day we are returning from the campout).  However, this is an important recruiting opportunity for our Unit and we would love to have ASMs, Committee Members and Scouts present to help present the best of Troop 1910 to the visitors.
