Troop 850’s first outing of 2015 will be a day of indoor rock climbing at Climb Time in Blue Ash where they have a variety of climbing walls for all levels of expertise. Adults will be needed as drivers and also to serve as belayers – no experience required, training provided. The more adults we have to belay, the more climbing the Scouts will be able to do.
We will meet Saturday January 10th at St Ignatius at 1:00 pm. We will climb from around 2:00 to 4:00, followed by pizza at LaRosa’s in White Oak, returning to St Ignatius around 6:00.
Cost per climber will be $20, which should be turned in at our Troop meeting January 6th along with the permission slip and the Climb Time waiver (separate waiver for everyone attending) found below. For more information check out www.ctoba.com

Troop 850 would like to congratulate our own Mr. Chas Hertlein, the 2014 recipient of the prestigious Mr. Scout Award, presented April 10th at the 26th annual West Side Sports Breakfast benefitting the Boy Scouts. Mr. Hertlein has served the Boy Scouts at the Council and District levels for many years and has served as the Committee Chairman for Troop 850 since 1991. He and his wife Kathy are proud parents of 2 Troop 850 Eagle Scouts, Chip (1998) and Jeff (2004).

Part of the success of our upcoming fundraiser Spaghetti Dinner is the support from our family and community sponsors with their generous donations of time, talents, cash, and even pies!
We are seeking sponsors to make a cash or gift donation that can be used in our basket raffle at the spaghetti dinner. All donations are tax deductible and all sponsors will be thanked on our “sponsors board” posters prominently displaced at our spaghetti dinner.
Please consider checking with your employer, neighbors and friends if they would be willing to make a contribution to help fund our active troop and our many adventures, even involving red dot holographic sights. Family sponsorships are most appreciated as well.
Please contact Chip Branscum at cbranscum@fuse.net, or Kathy Smith at kathyjsmith777@gmail.com if you would like to make a donation or if you have any questions.
Thanks for your continued support!!
