Christmas Party & Chili Cook Off

Image
Our troop Christmas Party and Chili Cook-off will be held December 11 . The theme is western, cause . . . TEXAS y'all!  Got a cowboy hat?  Wear it!  Have some boots?  Throw those bad boys on! We've got the fun planned, but what we need now are COOKS!  We need some awesome cooks to bring in their favorite pot of chili -- Vegetarian, White Bean, Texas Red... you name it... to enter our contest (and help us feed 100 Scouts and Scouters!) Be sure your serving spoons are CLEARLY LABELED and if you have toppings to add to your chili (shredded cheese, diced white onions, green onions, corn chips, etc. that those are containers and serving utensils are clearly marked as well). E-mail HERE to let us know if you can help by bringing chili.

Annual Troop Slideshow

Our annual Troop Slideshow is coming up on December 4. Be sure to join us as we take a look back at everything we've done as a troop over the past year. It's amazing to see how much we've accomplished in 12 short months, and it's great to remember how much fun we've had! If you have pictures from this year's events, we would love to include them. Send them to C. McPherson , or upload and share them to our troop Facebook page. C. McPherson and our Troop Historian, M. Wetzel, are putting together a fantastic show, plus we'll have popcorn and drinks for everyone to enjoy.

Feeling Stuffed?

Did you gobble til you wobbled yesterday?  Why not use today as an opportunity to work off some of that "stuffed" feeling and have fun in the process?  Grab the family, your cell phones and head outside to geocache! Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has a great resource for those interested in this modern-day treasure hunt! People hide geocaches everywhere—from just down the street to the most remote wilderness areas. Many are hidden in your state parks. If you plan to look for those, join the Texas State Parks Geocache Challenge (ends Dec. 31, 2017) or read on to learn more about geocaching! What is Geocaching? Geocaching is the hunt for any of more than 2 million geocaches worldwide hidden by folks like you. Each treasure hunt will take you to a fun, creative or beautiful place outdoors. But what is a geocache? Geo means earth and cache means hidden item. Geocaches range from very small (like a film canister) to large (such as a metal lunch box). Many are cam...

Happy Thanksgiving

Image
As families come together near and far to celebrate with food and fellowship while counting their many blessings, we would like to take this opportunity, too, to wish our Troop 1910 family a Happy Thanksgiving. The first Thanksgiving was a celebration of the culmination of a successful partnership and harvest between different groups of people and was a further testimony that people of all creeds can live in harmony. So, this Thanksgiving, we give thanks to children of all beliefs who have joined into the brotherhood of Scouting for the purpose of the greater good. We are united in a common purpose to be a different breed of person... the leaders of the future. Thankful are we for the opportunities presented to us through the Scouting movement and the ability to serve our chartered organization, our community, our family, our unit and our country. Thankful are we for the opportunity to Do A Good Turn Daily by acts of selfless service to those in our family, school and community. Than...

Toys for Tots

Image
We all have to admit that there's nothing quite like the joy in the eyes of a child on Christmas morning when they wake up to see goodies beneath the tree just for them.  It's truly magical.   It's an honor for Troop 1910 to partner again this year with the Toys for Tots program to make that Christmas magic a reality for some very special kids. Our Scouts are so blessed, and we want to give them an opportunity to give back to the community this Christmas.  We will begin collecting toys at our next meeting on November 27 . Bring new, unwrapped toys for boys ages 0-12 and we will store them in the Scout House until our Christmas party on December 11 when we will present them to the US Marines.  Black Friday is a great time to pick up fun and inexpensive toys, so get'em while you can!
