A Fun Filled February!
We had a great January! Congrats to the scouts for earning their Whittling Chip! Although there were a lot of legs lost, I do feel better, but not comfortable, with my scout using a pocketknife.
I hope everyone had a grand time at the Pinewood Derby too! The district race is on March 8 in Galesburg. It is an optional event. If you want more information, talk to Angela.

This month will be a jam packed achievement month! As always, if your scout cannot attend, he will need to make up the achievements. This does not mean that he has to do the same ones. At the end of the year, 12 must be completed, from the assigned numbers in the book. After the 12 are completed, each part counts toward arrow points. So all are important. If your son completes anything, please tell me.

On February 21, we will be completing a special 100 year of scouting activity. The activity and patch is $4.00 per scout. I need this as soon as possible. If you have any problems, please contact me. Also on this day we invite the scouts to bring a former boy scout. There will be a prize for the oldest scout :-)
