       Troop 608 in front of the White House (I think I can see the President looking out the window) Our nine scouts from troop 110 are back and ready to go to the next Jamboree. Despite the tragedy at the start of the Jamboree and the heat and humidity, scouts who attended had the adventure of a lifetime. The planned tour was amazing. They hit Philadelphia on their first night by taking the "Light of Liberty Tour" followed by a morning tour of Historic Philadelphia. Next was a visit to Gettysburg, then off to Washington DC. On the first day at the nation's capital, they went to the Supreme Court, the Capitol, and the Bureau of Engraving. In the evening they saw the Marine Barracks Parade, where the precision drill team performed. The next day they toured the Smithsonian Complex, and the memorials of Jefferson, Lincoln, World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Then it was off to Richmond Virginia and a tour of the Arlington National Cemetery and Mt Vernon. The next day they spent a few hours at the Kings Dominion Amusement park before departing for the National Jamboree.
  
       The Jamboree was held at Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County, Virginia. The shows were first rate, and were highlighted by an amazing light show and fireworks display. The President paid a visit and gave the boys an inspirational speech and showed his appreciation for Boy Scouting. Every merit badge class you can think of was there, being taught by the very best in the field. Scouts had other things on their mind besides merit badges. Patch trading was an extremely popular pastime with most boys. The Yoda patch from Marin County and the Sobe patch, were some of this Jamboree's favorites. The armed services were also present and their hardware was on display for the boys to check out.
  
       On Sunday August 28, Troop 608 held their last official meeting. Leaders discussed how well the boys conducted themselves and how they were first in setting up their camp and packing up. They were also always on time for buses and tour meeting times. They also shared photographs taken by the scouts, which brought back memories of the great time they had together. I would like to express my gratitude for the Scout leaders for their dedicated service and for making sure the kids were fine and had a great time.

 


Can't wait to go!

The Los Mochos Gang
  
       Campout at Los Mochos - on August 27 - 28 Bruce Chan and Bill Fournell took several Boy Scouts to Camp at Los Mochos. They were the only ones there that week end which meant they had the run of the place. Bruce Chan recently completed his Rifle Range Master training so he set up a troop shoot. Several of the boys turned out to be good shots with the 22-gauge rifle, like Tom Shields. They also shot archery and swam in the pool. Several of the boys said that it was one of the most fun weekend campouts ever.

Fremont Art and Wine Festival
  
       Boy Scouts and their parents manned two booths to sell shaved ice and cotton candy. The hot weather kept the booths busy all day. I personally enjoyed making the shaved ice, especially the ones that had creative flavor combinations. Some of the Scouts and parents worked with Steve Cox and his troop to pick up trash and to maintain the trash and recycling containers.

20 Mile Hike September 18th
  
       Seven Scouts and three adults tackled the 20 mile hike on Sunday September 18th. Starting at the Purisima Creek Trail off of Skyline Blvd. to Half Moon Bay. This hike was challenging because of the distance but the scenery was beautiful and varied. Starting in the Redwoods in high elevation with moss and fern covered trails ending at the Half Moon Bay beach. All the Boys completed the 20 mile course and had enough energy left to play at the beach. Roger even took the time to turn over logs and rocks add to his collection of bugs. Way to go boys!

Summer Camp Edition
By Ron Natividad|

Latest News & Kudos

1. Twenty-seven scouts attended this years Summer Camp at Wente with leader Bruce Chan and assistants Jay Hendee and Ron Natividad. The water front was the focal point of camp and offered swimming, kayaking, canoeing, rowing, small boat sailing and life guard training. Fishing was also a popular event and kept the boys busy during their breaks. Field sports included Rifle, Archery, Shotgun, Mountain Biking, and Horseback Riding. It was a very successful camp when you consider the accomplishments of the scouts and the amount of fun they had over the course of the week. The staff bid us farewell with an evening campfire that was both memorable and entertaining. The "Pie As A Weapon Skit" was a big hit and had everybody laughing. It was a look at the history of weapons using pies. The evening ended with the swearing in ceremony for the first, second, third and fifth year attendees. Over a hundred merit badges were completed. The troop and the patrols distinguished themselves by winning several awards.

• Critter of the Week Award

a. 1st place - Julian R. and Kevin G. For a two tailed blue belly lizard

• Shot Gun Competition.

a. 1st Place - Bruce Chan received Perfect score of 5 for 5
b. 3rd Place - David Rizk

2. Robbie M. and Adam D. caught the 3 largest fish at camp and were the envy of all the fishermen on the lake. Robbie's fishing instructor was amazed that he caught the largest fish of the week with only a bamboo pole. Adam D. was the most prolific fisherman on the lake and caught and released more that just the two large fish. One morning Adam caught and released 12 fish before it was even noon. Adam and Robbie along with the other boys learned how to scale and clean the fish. The scouts and adults enjoyed sharing the fish during troop campfire. Fresh fish does taste so much better!

4. Troop 110 ROCKS!!! Since the last issue of the Troop Tribune we had two high adventure expeditions. One team went up first then down, while the other went down then up. Both expeditions were challenging and not for the faint at heart.

a. On June 24th Mike Magno and John Pedersen led family and friends to the top of the world famous Half Dome in Yosemite. The seven members were on top of the dome on Saturday June 25th (elevation 8,842 feet). The members are team captain John (the "MIST") Pedersen, Robin (Birthday Girl) D., Mike (DAWG) Magno, Christobel (PUFF, PUFF) Magno, Chris (Spiderman), Kristen (Kmag) and Jhoanna (Joey). Jhoanna is a friend of Kristen and this was her first hike. Just looking at that last section gets my adrenaline going. Mike and John are already planning next years challenge, El Capitan. (Information and photos furnished by Mike Magno)

b. Not to be outdone the 4 member Team Sims celebrated the 4th of July in Arizona doing the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim expedition. Starting at 8:30 AM on the 4th at the rim of the Grand Canyon National Park and ending 4 days later at the North Rim. Temperatures hit 131F and the whole trek total was 30 miles and many thousands of feet of elevation change. The team survived by cooling off in the river. (Information and photo furnished by Tom Sims) Congratulations to our high adventure team members on conquering such a difficult challenge. Most of us can only dream of facing such a challenge and YOU DID IT! Having done it as a family must be really special. Talk about team building! This is over the top.

5. Bonfante Gardens Camping Trip - September 24th and 25th are the possible dates. The cost will be $40, which includes camp site, dinner, breakfast, lunch and a patch. For more information please contact Rita Haskin at haskinr@pacbell.net.

6. Please attend the committee meetings on the first Wednesday of every month. The next committee meeting is Wednesday, August 10th. This is the best way to find out about upcoming activities and influence future activities. If you would like to have your opinions heard or would like to get involved with the troop, the committee meeting is the place to start.

1. Bowling Night Wednesday, May 11th - This was a first for the troop and from the feedback I've gotten will probably not be the last. Both boys and adult agree that this was one of the most fun evening events. 35 scouts participated in the fun. Photos by Bruce Chan

   

2. Garage Sale on Saturday May 14th - Another successful troop garage sale. A stressful start with the organizing and set up followed by a hot afternoon made it a challenging day. Participants definitely earned their money for this garage sale. The total proceeds collected for the day was $1245. Special thanks to Julia Lloyd for the use of her house. Thanks also go out to Pam Mutch, Julia Lloyd, Ted Mutch and Justin M. for their extra hours and hard work on Saturday. Photos by Ron Natividad

    

3. Mt St Helena Hike and Campout, May 21 to 22 - Mt St Helena was invaded by Troop 110 on both days. The Saturday assault was by three adults, Mike Magno, John Pedersen and Robin Drofleff. One peak was not enough for these three so they also bagged a second peak completing both North and South Peaks. The second group was not as inspired to go for both peaks but was perfectly happy with one peak. All would agree that this was one of the most challenging peaks in the Rim Rover group. The views were great and provided a panoramic view of most of the Rim Rover Peaks.

Five people completed all their Rim Rover Hikes by completing the Mt St, Helena hike.

4. Flag Decoration on Memorial Day 17 scouts and adults attended to decorate each grave with flags. It's a great tribute to the men and women who gave the ultimate for our country.

5. Scout-O-Rama June 3-4 on the USS Hornet, Alameda - With the backdrop of the F14 Tomcat Troop 110 presented a large board game called "Capture the Flag". It was one of the busiest booths and had many repeat visitors. Both Parents and scouts had fun playing the game and most stayed long enough to complete one game. A few of the scouts stayed to play several games and developed a winning strategy. One Scout from troop 175 told me that this was the best booth ever and that this game is lots of fun. Another asked if we would have the same set-up next year. Considering the competition this is a tall order. Other booths included Balloon launching, Wheel Chair obstacle course, Gold Panning and Magnetic Fishing for prices. Way to go Troop 110 and Bruce Chan for a very successful Scout-O-Rama. Once again Troop 110 leads the way!!! Photo By Ron Natividad.

6. Venture Crew 110 is collecting old cell phones as a Crew fundraiser. So clean out those drawers and donate your old phones. The Crew will separate them and ship them out. If you can't wait to get rid of them, contact any member of the Crew and we will pick them up. Or let us know and we will collect them at a troop meeting. Any questions contact Eric W.

7. Please attend the committee meetings on the first Wednesday of every month. The next committee meeting is July 13th which is actually the second Wednesday because of schedule conflict. This is the best way to find out about upcoming activities and influence future activities.

1. Angel Island hike and camp was on April 23rd and 24th. Rain did not hamper the spirit of these hikers. 10 boy scouts plus adults hiked around the island, played at the beach and went up to Mt Livermore summit. The rain came and went Saturday starting just after camp was set-up. Sunday turned out to be a gorgeous day and the Bay views were spectacular. Unfortunately no one had a camera to record the scenes.

2. Mike Magno, Bill Westcott, and John Pederson did a 30-mile backpacking hike Ohlone Wilderness trail April 23rd.

3. Mission Peak District Awards Dinner - Troop 110 received several individual awards and a Distinguished Unit Award for 2005.

It put Troop 110 on the map and set a standard that will be hard to match. The District Awards selection committee keeps the list of awardees a secret so the recipients of the awards did not know. Several of the awardees were not present. Congratulation to the awards recipients. Your hard work did not go unnoticed and you are very much appreciated. A District representative at the Summer Court of Honor will give the awards on Wednesday, June 8th.

1. Del Valle Hike and Camping - Although it rained on and off all weekend there were still plenty of activities to keep everyone who went motivated. The hike was shortened because the terrain proved to be too slippery but it was still a good workout for everyone. Check out the photo (right) to see the muddy condition of the ground. There was canoeing available for anyone interested. As with most hikes, there was orienteering and food preparation. Overall a very productive weekend. Photos by Shirley Gonzalez and Ryan Natividad

2. Troop 110 decided not to attend Spring Camporee on April 8, 9 & 10. However, Tom Sims, who was elected as the Adult Order of the Arrow representative, will be taking the scouts who are to be tapped out to the Spring Camporee.

3. There is a troop campout planned for Angle Island April 22nd and 23rd. The troop campout is great opportunity for our troop's newest scouts to learn their basic skills of camping and hiking. And it is also an opportunity for older scouts to pass on what they have learned and show their leadership skills. The leadership of older scouts are important for the newer scouts as they learn how to function in the troop. They will need guidance to learn what they need to do to make their patrols successful. So older Scout need to keep in mind that you are a role model for the newer Scouts. Lead by example!

4. Please attend the committee meetings on the first Wednesday of every month. The next committee meeting is Wednesday, May 4th . This is the best way to find out about upcoming activities and influence future activities.

Message from Tom Sims:

I wanted to take my hat off to the Troop members who volunteered at the 9 th annual Science and Health fair. Matt Y., representing Crew 110 (and his Logan science class), Ben S. representing the Troop, were on hand at first thing to assist with setup, and to make themselves available to any participants who needed assistance during the day. Pat W. was also on hand, again, working with Bernard White Middle School in support of the Stanford blood drive.

It takes a HUGE amount of time and energy, provided by a horde of busy volunteers, to make this event a success every year, and all of us who were there are already looking forward to next year. The theme of the decennial event has already been proposed: "The Power of 10."

Please encourage you Scouts to give some serious thought to participating next year. We would be welcomed as "visiting scientists," as well as volunteers. A well-planned display and a solid turnout would clearly demonstrate "The power of 110."

Thanks, Tom

Troop Tribune - March 2005

To all,

I neglected to get this into Ron before the Troop Tribune was distributed, but I wanted to take my hat off to the Troop members who volunteered at the 9th annual Science and Health fair. Matt Y., representing Crew 110 (and his Logan science class), and Ben S., representing the Troop, were on hand at first thing to assist with setup, and to make themselves available to any participants who needed assistance during the day. Pat W. was also on hand, again, working with Bernard White Middle School in support of the Stanford blood drive.

It takes a HUGE amount of time and energy, provided by a horde of busy volunteers, to make this event a success every year, and all of us who were there are already looking forward to next year. The theme of the decennial event has already been proposed: "The Power of 10."

Please encourage your Scouts to give some serious thought to participate next year. We would be welcomed as "visiting scientists," as well as volunteers. A well-planned display and a solid turnout would clearly demonstrate the "power of 110."

Thanks, Tom

Latest News & Kudos

1. Canoe Day at Quarry Lakes - Weather did not dampen the spirit of the Scouts and Webelos who attended this event. Bruce Chan and Bill Westcott provided the canoes and ?? Scouts got their turn in the water. There were periods of torrential rain but the scouts just took it in stride. In fact, they found ways to entertain themselves while they waited for calmer weather. Pictures show the Webelos who attended the event and Ryan N. leading Webelos to water.

2. Sleeping with the Sharks - This was an experience that was well worth the price of admission. Scouts, Crew, parents, and siblings all enjoyed the touch pools, and the class given by the guides. They took measurements of the salinity of the Bay water, learned all about the eco system of the bay, and looked at various planktons with the microscope. The best part for me was getting a chance to observe the fish as they swam around the tube. Some even used the peak of the tube to rest and it gave you a view of fish life that you don't normally get. You can see up close to these magnificent animals. Sleeping while they swam around me almost made me feel like I was inside a tank, and they were looking at me from the outside. Waking up in the tunnel was the calmest way to welcome the morning. I just looked up and absorbed the experience. The next morning we got treated to a wonderful breakfast at the Chic Restaurant, which provided a wonderful view of the wharf and the docks. I rate this event four stars out of four, and would highly recommend it for future events. Photos show guides working with the scouts and Venture Crew with new Scout Roger walking in the tunnel.

3. Klondike Derby 2005 - 10 scouts and 3 adults braved the cold weather and had a ball at the Klondike Derby at the Snowflower Preserve near Yuba Gap. The weather was sunny with a slight breeze. Led by Dave G., the scouts showed good teamwork and had a great time in the snow. They improved their time in the sled competition with a time of just over one minute. They also built a shelter, which also doubled as a fort when the snowball fight started. Even some of the adults got in on defending the fort. The photo shows Troop 110 defending their fort as they repel an attack from scouts from a nearby camp. The evening was cold as the breeze kicked in but all survived the ordeal with the help of a patio heater brought by Dave G. and a fire pit found by the resourceful Craig B. Picture show the scouts worshipping the heater while Dave looks on with a proud smile.

4. Please attend the committee meetings on the first Wednesday of every month. The next committee meeting is Wednesday, April 6 th .

1. Mt. Diablo Hike - On January 15th a group of 12 scouts and some family members braved the cold and foggy day to conquer Mt Diablo. It was a grey and windy day but their sprits were high. Lead by Bruce Chan and Tom Sims, the group started at the Rock City parking lot and climbed toward the peak. The route was challenging, with steep long paths and muddy tracks. Along the way there were many displays describing the geological features and historical information. The scouts took compass readings and learned about geography along the way. The spectacular view kept the hikers motivated and determined to get to the top. They also knew that they could not eat their lunch until they get to the top. Once at the peak, they were not disappointed because the view was amazing and well worth the pain of the climb. The viewing area at the peak provided a vista of most of the Rim Rover Peaks. There was a blanket of fog that highlighted the peaks and emphasized their challenging height. It was truly a magical view. On the way down the group ran into John Pederson and Mike Magno who started later because of a schedule conflict. Mike reports that they jogged down from the peak in order for John to meet his scheduled dinner date. She must have been someone special.

2. Winter Court of Honor on Wednesday, January 19th. was hosted by the Fighting Falcons. The evening started with patrol skits while the audience ate dinner. Mike Magno and Bruce Chan exchanged patches to officially make Bruce the Scoutmaster.

Bruce presented Mike a gift to express appreciation for all that Mike has done and what he has meant to Troop 110. We were treated to videos prepared and edited by the Falcons of the some of the events. Congratulations to the scouts who received promotions. See picture (left) of the Scorpions with their proud mothers. Everyone had a good time. Our thanks go out to the Falcons and John Gillen (right) for the hard work in planning the event.

3. Indoor Rally for 2005 was held on Friday January 4th at the LDS Church on Decoto Rd. Troop 110 showed lots of spirit and enthusiasm. Prior to the event the scouts practiced their skills and was rewarded by taking home two ribbons. They received the first place ribbon for the Compass Relay and third on the Rope Rescue. I was really impressed with the teamwork and spirit shown by the scouts. Attendance was double what it was last year and showed when it came to the Scoutmaster pull. Just ask Bruce Chan how much faster he went compared to last year. I think there will be a permanent skid marks on the gym floor.

4. Please attend the committee meetings on the first Wednesday of every month. The next committee meeting is Wednesday March 2nd 2005. This is the best way to find out about upcoming activities and influence future activities. If you would like to have your opinions heard or would like to get involved with the troop, the committee meeting is the place to start.

1. December 22nd Holiday Celebration - From Tom Sim's Email. Thanks everyone who joined in last week's celebration of the season. I think it is safe to say that everyone there had a GREAT time, and I also want to recognize those whose extra efforts made it possible.

Rita Haskin, wonderful decorations (Gloria even took some of them home!); Diane Orsetti spearheaded the setup, along with Ted and Pam Mutch, who brought everything but the Troop Chips; John Gillen took care of miscellaneous supplies and had a couple of great games in his back pocket to keep the kids entertained. The Yorks and Simses brought Christmas music to raise our spirits.

Nor was it just the parents who contributed. Russell Bowerman gathered up some music and brought all the Troop's musicians together for a serenade of carols. Glenn Gillen and Ben Sims thought up some great games and helped us shop for supplies and prizes. Darren, Michael, and Justin (along with siblings) pitched in with their parents appointed tasks.

And of course, everyone contributed snacks, desserts and other special dishes, with which the Troop lived up to its extraordinary culinary standards.

We were joined by special guests Carol Dutra-Vernacci and Jim Navarro from the UC Lions Club (...and City Council...), and we also had a special visit from Michael Richie and his family. Michael is the Cubmaster of Pack 815 in Hayward, and he presented 110 with a thank you card signed by all the Cub Scouts in 815 -- you may all remember that 110 pitched in to help them last fall when their Pack equipment was stolen.

All in all it was a fitting celebration of who and what we are. It has been a great year for us with all its difficulties, and I am grateful for the chance to have celebrated it with all of you!

Thank you, and here's to an even greater 2005.

Your Friendly Chair Person,

Tom Sims

Mt. Wittenberg Hike and Bike - On December 12th an adventurous groupfrom Troop 110 hiked up Mt. Wittenberg. Due to the weather forecast the campout was cancelled but no condition can stop the hike. The day turned out to be beautiful and sunny. We were joined by Webelos Kevin and his father John G. This is one of the Rim Rover Hikes. With this hike Bill Wescott completed all six of the required Rim Rover Hikes. Congratulation Bill in completing all Rim Rover Hikes (Mt Diablo, Mt Tamalpias, Mission Peak, Pinnacles, St Helena and Mt Wittenberg). Someday when I grow up I hope to complete my Rim Rover Hikes just like Bill. Dave and David G. brought their bikes and had so much fun they decided to stay and explore other areas.

Photo shows the scouts who hiked a view of Point Reyes and the Pacific.

3. Winter Court of Honor is Wednesday, January 19th will be hosted by the Fighting Falcons. Dinner starts at 6:30 and the patrols will entertain us with funny skits on the stage. Don't miss it! The Fighting Falcons have been working hard to make this a fun evening.

1. Scouting for Food - On November 3rd Scouts and family met at Contempo Clubhouse to distribute collection bags at the Lake Arrowhead Area in Fremont. November 20th Scouts and family members collected the food donations. They were joined by 4 members of pack 268 and their parents. Thanks to everyone who participated and gave their time and energy for this important service. I'm sure that it helped many less fortunate folks.

2. Pizza night - On the evening November 20th , 25 scouts and family from troop 110 and pack 268 met at Bronco Billy's for some fun and food. Scouts enjoyed video games while the adults enjoyed refreshments and conversation. Photo shows the party table.

3. LOV Newark Food Delivery - Terrific turnout for the LOV Newark Thanksgiving Day Meal delivery. 36 scouts, venturers, and family members assembled box turkey meals and delivered 237 meals and clothing to homebound people. That's roughly 40% of the total meals delivered. The number of volunteers was up by ten from last year and included some extended family members. From this editor's point of view, it was a rewarding family experience, one that was shared by 3 generations of my family. We shared the experience of doing something special for the community and helped those who are less mobile. Seeing the reaction and gratefulness of the people was truly rewarding. Thank you Troop 110 for your unselfish generosity. Photo shows scouts and family receiving instructions from a LOV Newark DI.

4. On line re-chartering is done! Thanks, John Gillen, for leading the hard work in getting the troop re-chartering done. Don't forget to pay your membership dues for scouts and adults. Registration to date is 42 scouts and 47 adults.

5. Please attend the committee meeting on the first Wednesday of every month. The next committee meeting is Wednesday January 5th 2005. This is the best way to find out about upcoming activities and influence future activities. If you would like to have your opinions heard or would like to get involved with the troop, the committee meetings is the place to start.

6. The Friday, December 4th Troop meeting, held at Bruce Chan's home, centered on a rock climbing wall built by Bruce with help from Mike Kirkpatrick and Dave Garges. This was a very challenging wall. Photos by Dave Garges

7. Next meeting is Thursday, December 9th at Bruce Chan's home. Meeting was changed due to scheduling conflicts. We will be visited by Webelos who are interested in joining our troop, so please be there to show Troop 110's spirit. The climbing wall will be up and improved to make it a little less challenging.

8. I made a little change to the newsletter format with the addition of photographs. Please let me know if you have any problems with the file due to the larger size. Any suggestions are welcome and will be considered.

Spotlight on Scouting

   

Troop Tribune - November 2004
by Ron Natividad
=====================

Latest News & Kudos

1. Mt. Man Rendezvous- The event was successful and all participants enjoyed themselves. There were plenty of activities for the scouts as well as adults and many beads were collected. Gloria Ho was in charge of Indian Lore and everyone from Troop 110 took turns in assisting her. Although it rained, spirits remained high and everyone did their part to get the camp squared away. A few new scouts got their first taste of camp cooking, clean up and setting/packing wet and muddy tents.

2. Fall Camporee - The Fighting Falcons, with special guest David G., worked well as a team and impressed many of the judges. They showed plenty of spirit and were told by a couple of judges that they were one of the favorite troops in the competition because of their spirit. Having won two 3rd place ribbons in the Spring Camporee, they were challenged by the Scout Master to better that to win a special prize. They more than doubled their ribbon count for a total of five ribbons, including two for first place, two for second place, and one for third place. Congratulations on this impressive achievement. Prize is yet to be determined by the Falcons.

3. Mt. Tamalpias Hike - 17 adventurous scouts and adults hiked up Mt. Tamalpias November 11th and enjoyed the beautiful weather and breath taking views. This hike is one of the Rim Rover hikes. We had one visitor, David Parks, who may join our troop. Hopefully this hike will solidify his decision. Also joining the hike were three generations of the Brown family and Mike Magno's wife and daughter. Everyone enjoyed the hike and returned safely. See the website for photos.

Notes from the Troop Committee Meeting, November 4, 2005

1. Opening - Tom Sims

We had a visitor from Pack 174, Michelle Aldridge, who wanted to see how a committee meeting is conducted.

2. Minutes of the Last meeting - Carol Barnes

a. Minutes read and approved

3. Old Business

a. Troop 110 donated $100 to Pack 815 who had their flag and other gear stolen. This flag has been with the troop since its inception. Fortunately, the troop equipment was found in a nearby neighbor's yard. Everything was there, although not in the same condition. Pete Stark donated a flag that flew over the capital to replace the one stolen. Pack 815 will be invited to the next Court of Honor.

b. Troop 2 (blind troop) will be presented their check Wednesday, November 10th by John Pederson at their next meeting.

c. Nine scouts and five adults participated in Scouting for Food November 13th. The troop worked in the Lake Arrowhead area of Fremont. Bags were distributed to every house in their area and will be collected next weekend on Saturday, November 20th . If you would like to join in the collection of the bags, please meet 8:30 AM at Contempo to get organized into teams.

4. New Business - We have several committee positions open that needs to be filled. These positions help provide the leadership to keep Troop 110 functioning efficiently and make sure that our boys and girls have interesting activities that will help them become good citizens when they become adults. Please review the list and let us know if you would like to take any of the open positions. If you would like detailed descriptions of each position, you can find them in the troop website. You might also want to talk to any of the committee members and the last person who held that position to gain insight into how you can help the troop.
