Great News! We have (4) VIP tickets for Entertrainment Junction that we will be raffling off at Tuesday’s Court of Honor. Donations from this raffle will supplement our recent Pancake Breakfast fundraising event.
These tickets are valued at $108 and include admission to the world’s largest (25,000 sf) indoor train display, the fun house, VIP backstage tours and audio tour as well. These would make a great family outing gift for Christmas!
We’ll sell raffle tickets on Tuesday and you’ll take the tickets home with you that night.

A reminder that payment was due September 27 for t-shirts which the boys took
home in May and June. If you have not already paid, please refer to the letter
you received with the shirts for the amount you owe. Or you may contact Chas
Hertlein for the amount. It is very important for the troop bank account that
shirts be paid for. Make checks payable to Troop 850 and give them to Chas
Hertlein.
Thank you.
Reminder – Tuesday 10/4 is a committee meeting from 7 – 8 PM in the cafeteria – all parents are encouraged to attend.
Pancake tickets were distributed last week but several packets have not been picked up – scouts should stop by the cafeteria Tuesday evening between 7-8 PM and pick up their tickets. A large portion of pre-sale tickets go directly to the scout’s account to help pay for/offset activities. This is a great way to help the troop and for the scouts to save for the high-adventure trips!
Our pancake breakfast will be Sunday morning Oct 30th. This and the spaghetti dinner are the two fundraising events Troop 850 hosts to raise money to support the troops many activities. Thanks to Kelly Reupert’s leadership the basket raffle at these events continute to be large portion of the proceeds!
I would like to ask everyone to consider asking your employer for a donation to support this upcoming fundraiser. Kelly is a master at crafting unique baskets – whether it’s cash, gift cards, merchandise donations or sporting event tickets she always creates the perfect basket for any occassion. We will have donor recognition posters displayed recognizing and thanking all donors.
Another option to consider is cashing in any “reward” points you may have on a frequently used credit card. Gift cards for local stores, restaurants, and other rewards would be most welcome.
Upon request all donors will receive a letter recognizing the donation for tax purposes if they so desire.
Please contact Chip Branscum at cbranscum@fuse.net or Kelly Reupert at kaykaytenten@yahoo.com if you have questions or would like additional information. Early donations are most appreciated to give more time for Kelly’s creativity in creating baskets.
Thanks in advance for your support!
OK – for inquiring minds…Bahamas are located approximately 76 degrees W latitude and 24 degrees, 15′ North longitude. Current conditions are 2-4′ seas with a nice high pressure system keeping weather most pleasant. Our first night upon arrival we have a new moon so it should be pretty dark out. Highs in the mid to upper 80’s and lows in the upper 70’s.
OK – I have 400+ photos from summer camp on a DVD – I can’t upload them to the website as there are too many. I will have a few discs at the next scout meeting for scouts to take home, copy, download, and share. If you would for-sure like your own disc please email Chip Branscum and I’ll trade you a disc for a dollar.
Swimming merit badge is one of the required badges for Eagle. It is also a necessary building block for taking other merit badges such as Lifesaving, and it is a prerequisite for anyone who wishes to participate in one of the water-related high adventure trips–kayaking the New River, canoing in Minnesota, or scuba diving. We recomend that all new Scouts make every effort to earn this badge their first summer in the Troop, usually at summer camp. This year, however, new Scouts are unable to take both their Tenderfoot to First Class advancement classes and Swimming merit badge. So, Chas Hertlein will be offering the merit badge to interested Scouts over the course of this summer, mostly on Tuesday nights during regular meeting times. In order to schedule the classes, I need to know as soon as possible exactly which Scouts will want to earn this merit badge. So please drop me an email or give me a call to let me know!
Everyone going to summer camp should click on the document below. At the end of the document are listed all Scouts and Adults who have NOT turned in Medical Forms. Please check these lists.
The remainder of the file lists the Merit Badges that I was able to sign the Scouts up for today. Many of the most popular merit badges filled up quickly, so there are many gaps in some Scout’s schedules. If you did not list Alternates, you are likely to have more gaps. Email to me several alternates for each time slot you wish to fill.
