Scouts BSA Troop 108, Fort Mill, SC
With Dorian’s possible approach to the coast later in the week, the district and council event teams agreed that it would be best to cancel this year’s Beach Sweep event.
Even if Dorian hooks a right turn out to sea (as we hope he does), there is no sense in putting our scouts in the middle of coastal residents trying to get back to their homes following their mandatory evacuation.
We are looking forward to seeing our scouts at an upcoming meeting.
We are so proud of our troop’s scouts and Course Director, Bob Ludolph who all survived the week-long NYLT course at Camp Bob Hardin this past week.
Congratulations to you all!
Scoutmaster Ludolph advises that “You can start picking up your sons at 9:00 tomorrow morning at the same location that you dropped them off at on Friday” Contact SM Ludolph if you have any questions.
Coming up on April 1st through the 3rd at the Winthrop Athletic Complex in Rock Hill is the annual council camporee event. This event will have scouts from all over the 6 counties of Palmetto Council together in one location for a fun-filled event where there will be merit badge classes and other fun activities. The weekend will be a busy one, so the scouts have been relieved of cooking duty too – the food is provided and has been included in the cost of the event – $25.00.
Scouts should plan on dropping by the troops meeting location next Monday night, March 14th, from 7pm until 8pm during the Patrol Members Council night to submit their desired merit badge selections and pay for the event. Mr. Whitesell will be available to get you signed up at that drop-off night. There are two blocks for merit badge classes during the day (see below) select one badge from each of the two blocks. There are also some merit badges that will be taught on Saturday night as well that can be selected in addition to the two daytime merit badge blocks. There are also three more detailed merit badges that will take longer to work on and will require both Blocks 1 & 2 and are listed below as “All Morning” classes.
Scouts should select one merit badge from Block 1, one merit badge from Block 2 (or one merit badge from the “all morning” group) and one merit badge from the Twilight merit badge offerings (if they don’t already have them) and bring those (written down with their name on it) along with payment of $25 to the March 14th PLC meeting between 7pm and 8pm to give to Mr. Whitesell.

High Adventure Weekend 2011 Flyer
Note that scouts need to plan to provide their own meals except on Saturday at lunch. Camping will be in the adirondacks but scouts may want to bring a tent “just in case”.
Take a look at the flyer for additional information and be sure to let the Scoutmaster know ASAP if you’re interested in going.
Troop 108 was prominently featured in coverage of the recent visit of Adventure Base 100 and the joint Mecklenburg/Palmetto Scout Expo held at Carowinds. Not only were we shown and mentioned by name in CN2’s coverage, But two of our scouts were featured on the front page of the Fort Mill Times newspaper this week.
In a week when Boy Scouting has been dragged through the mud, it is refeshing to see the positive side of scouting so well represented by some of our own.
