Troop meeting this Tuesday at 7:25.  Welcome back everyone!

If you are available to come a little early then we will be taking down the rope bridge that was used during the Cub Scout recruiting carnival.  Please show up at 7:00 if you can help with the disassembling of the bridge.  Once finished we will conduct our troop meeting in the new scout room.

Join the troop on its first camping trip of the fall.  We will be camping at the Valley Forge Firehouse campground and traveling to Valley Forge park.  We will start at the welcome center and complete the trail medal.  Lunch will be on the trail and we will head back to camp to cook up a great dinner. 

Please meet at Visitation no later than 5:30 on Friday so that we can get on the road by 6:00.  There will be the Visitation Food Festival starting at 6 so it will be a little chaotic leaving the parking lot.  

Visitation BVM' s Fall Cub Scout Recruiting event is Sunday September 13. 

We will need volunteers to help set up the campus and build a rope bridge.  We will break down the bridge on Tuesday night.  If you can stay and support the Cubs and supervise the crossing of the rope bridge it would be greatly appreciated. 

Earn your service hours!  Without Cub recruits the scouting program at Visi will not grow!  Do Your Best!

Wow !  September is now.  Tuesday September 8 is our final prep meeting for painting the new scout room.  Please meet at the trailer. 

If we should decide to paint the rest of the floor we will do it piecemeal.  But now is the time to get the party started for the Fall '26 scout season.  Sign up for September, October and Novembers camping trips - we have exciting plans.

ILST - Introduction to leadership skills for troops.  What is ILST ? 

• Learn how to handle conflict resolution.
• Learn to build a team
• What is effective communication
• How does a troop work
• What is my role in youth leadership

If you currently hold a youth leadership position or desire to hold one please attend our three part series on youth leadership.  During these meetings we will build our youth leadership team for the 2026-2027 Scout season.  You will learn how to influence troop decisions on which trips we schedule, what training we teach, and what activities we plan to participate in.
