Troop 850
(sending this again because some did not receive it the first time)
Below are 3 documents with details on Merit Badge Challenge (MBC) held in January and February. Read the Troop 850 Letter first to find out what MBC is all about. I would like to receive all registration requests for review by November 12th. We will register together as a Troop, so please follow the instructions on the first document, and do not mail in your registration.
We’re calling on friends, family, and neighbors willing to sponsor our upcoming Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser (see attached)
The generosity of our sponsors through cash donations as well as gift cards and new items for our basket raffle are a large part of our successful fundraiser.
Please check with your boss, neighbors, co-workers, friends and families to see if their companies would be willing to support our fundraiser through a cash donation or possibly a gift card or other gift. Their company receives recognition among our 400+ patrons and they’re helping make a difference in the lives of young scouts in our community.
Please let me know if you have any any questions.
Here is another chance to help Ben Johnson with his Eagle Scout Project — this Saturday August 31st from 9 – 12:00 at Miami Whitewater Forest. See the attached flyer for details and complete the waiver form if you haven’t done so already.
Let’s show great support for Ben and come prepared to make an impact on one of our great Hamilton County parks.

To All Troop 850 Scouts and Parents,
Troop 850 is sponsoring the annual Spaghetti Dinner to be held on April 6, 3:30pm – 7:00pm in the St. Ignatius School Cafeteria. Everyone’s help is needed to make this a successful event.
Boys were given advance tickets at the 2/26/13 troop meeting. Each advance ticket that you sell, earns credit in your personal Troop 850 account that can be used to pay for campouts, summer camp and other Troop activities. You will be credited $4.00 for each advance ticket that you sell. These tickets are your responsibility and you will be expected to turn in either the unsold tickets or the money you collected no later than the Troop meeting held on Tuesday, April 2nd. All the advance tickets you have must be accounted for at that time. If turned in later than the troop meeting on April 2nd, your personal account WILL NOT be credited with the money from the advance sale.
If you need additional tickets, please contact Nicki Eichhold at n_eichhold@yahoo.com.
Advance Ticket prices:
Adult Tickets (12 yrs – 64 yrs): $7.00
Child/Senior Tickets (3 yrs – 11 yrs or >65 yrs): $5.00
Children under 3: FREE
Cub Scouts in Uniform: FREE
***PLEASE turn in any money collected and any unsold tickets in an envelope with your name. Also, indicate how many adult tickets were sold, how many child tickets were sold and the amount of any donation you received. When scouts hand in a pile of cash with unsold tickets it is VERY difficult to figure out who deserves credit for advance sales.***
Top 3 Sellers will be recognized at the Spaghetti Dinner as well as receive an awesome prize for their efforts!!

Every year we get many compliments after Mass. Seeing all of our scouts assembled together in uniform is special and appreciated by parishioners with many positive compliments.

Troop 850’s first outing of 2013 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 and the latest in safety equipment.
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 12th at St Ignatius at 1:00 pm. We will climb from around 1:45 to 4:00, followed by pizza at LaRosa’s in White Oak, returning to St Ignatius around 6:00.
Total cost will be $20, which should be turned in at our Troop meeting January 8th along with the permission slip below. We will distribute Climb Time waivers at the meeting. For more info and photos check out www.ctoba.com
