Tonight we talked about upcoming events such as the city-wide Scout-o-Ree recruitment event on Aug 29th, Popcorn sales on the 27th, Flags Over PC on Labor Day and our campout on the 10th of Sept. We have a busy month ahead of us. So buckle up!
After our discussion the boys went outside for some PT and then split into groups. The younger Scouts working on their Scout Rank held a collective SM Conference which gained the Rank for several of the boys. The group of boys working on Tenderfoot and 2nd Class worked on other requirements for advancement with Mr. Sands. The elder patrols went outside and worked on more PT by racing around the block and blowing off some before school jitters. 
We have handed out quite a few MB lately. It's good to see the boys learning and earning!

Tonight, we started off with agenda items and handing out some Merit Badges and Rank Advancements. Mr. Wagner presented Aiden Tapp two plaques to recognize Aiden's contributions as SPL for the last year. Then the Troop went outside and split into groups. The New Scout Patrol worked with Mr. Sands to start the physical fitness portion of their Tenderfoot requirements while the rest of the Troop went for a 1 mile run. Afterwards the Troop played a game called Steal the Bacon. Whenever the New Scout Patrol was finished with their requirements everyone headed back inside for dismissal. Mr. Sands handed out some blank calendars for the Scouts to use to track their daily activities. Tyler Stewart had his Board of Review for Star Rank and passed. Congratulations Tyler!
