In cleaning my computer for the new year, I found a stash of documents I’ve been meaning to update on the web site for a while.  So …

• The “Document Library” page now has several new “Cooking” sections, including a range of Dutch Oven and traditional camping & trail cooking cookbooks and cooking information
•  The “Trail to Eagle” page has more information, links to updated Eagle documents and the newest versions of Troop 9′s Eagle-related documents

- Mr. Bartlett

Ethan Crump’s Eagle Court of Honor will be held on Friday, November 23, 2012 at 1:00 PM in the Gymnasium at St. Aloysius Church, 219 Bloomfield Avenue, Caldwell.

All scouts and families are invited (and encouraged!) to attend, to help recognize this accomplishment of Ethan’s.

Due to several scheduling conflicts, the October Court of Honor has been moved back one week to Tuesday October 30, 2012. (Same time & location: 7:30 at Washington School during our normal Troop meeting time.)

For any of the newer scouts in the Troop: the Courts of Honor are held three times each year: in October, February and June. At the Court of Honor, the scouts are recognized for and receive any rank advancements and merit badges that they have earned since the prior Court of Honor, as well as receiving “Activity Beads” and any other patches/photos/etc for any activities in which they have participated since the prior Court of Honor.

Families are welcome, and encouraged, to come to all Courts of Honor.

The Family Picnic and Spring Court of Honor is this Saturday at Camp Glen Gray at the “Old Guard Fire Ring”.

Lunch and Ceremony starts at 2:00; please arrive by 1:30.
