Matthews Troop 46 Update

Matthews Alive Volunteer: Congratulations Troop 46! We did it. We took on a station this year that required more shifts than in the past. While it seemed a bit overwhelming at first, we stepped up and met the challenge. Many thanks to all who helped make this very important fund-raising event a success this year.
Creeper Trail Trip Signup Reminder: Signup Link Sept 20-22, we are headed to the VA Creeper Trail. This is a family friendly event. We will be biking mostly downhill on Saturday from White Top to Damascus. We will be using an outfitter. Please follow the link for more details.
Court of Honor: Sunday Sept 8 at 2pm we invite all scouts, family, and friends to our Fall Court of Honor. We will celebrate all of the scout's accomplishments to include Rank Advancements, Merit Badges, and other accolades. We would love to have all hands-on deck to enjoy this celebration. We typically serve BBQ and sides as a part of this event.
Committee Meeting: Attention Committee Members, our new meeting time will be the 2nd Thursday of each month as needed. Mr Hethcote and I are going to break the traditional all hands committee meeting into two separate meetings. The 2nd Thursday of each month, as needed, will be for the administrative discussions which I will lead. Mr Hethcote will be putting together a regular meeting for Assistant Scoutmasters to discuss programming. By breaking out into two separate meetings we hope to improve the efficiency of both meetings and decrease the time required for each adult.

In Scouting,
Brad McLelland
