Some of the boys tied Senior Patrol Leader, Justin Bailey, to a chair. He was able to escape :-)

Other things that went on:

  • Dylan Oliphant’s COH was discussed
  • Zachary Dick earned his Totem Chip
  • Not-Quite-Finished Merit Badges were reviewed by Bruce
  • Merit Badge discrepancies were reviewed by Matt

Look for a Troop Court of Honor sometime in late August/Early September.

The campfire program was completed successfully earning Dylan his Communications merit badge.

Patrols will need to have a skit ready for the evening. Bring bug spray. See you there!
