We didn’t have a meeting this week because of the ice, but we have some info for you.
14 Scouts and 4 Adults had a great time at the Climbing Kalamazoo Overnight! Many climbing walls were conquered, belaying teamwork was learned and exercised, and three scouts earned their climbing merit badge. A few arrived without money - please bring your payment to the next meeting.
Jan 25th (Thursday!) 7pm - FINAL Mackinac call-out night. At the call-out: First time scouts get a full program review and introduction training, and Returning scouts get a Leadership mini-course. Applications are due by Jan 31st for preferred selection status! Troop 623 is very underrepresented in applications so far! Don't be late!
Philmont scouts - Trek preferences are due! Please be sure to review the options and come to the next meeting prepared to make a case for your trek choices and vote! Also heads up that the next payment is also coming up in the next month.
