Bell Ringing and Bowling 12-5-15

On December 5, 2015 Troop 1468 participated in the Salvation Army Bell Ringing Campaign.  This is an annual event for the scouts and they really enjoy ringing the bells and participating in a wonderful worthy cause.

"The miracle of Christmas happens again and again through joy, caring, and sharing.  The Salvation Army Red Kettle is a tradition of the Christmas scene in Brown County, with thousands of dollars donated each year to aid needy families, seniors, and the homeless of our community."

Following bell ringing everyone enjoyed bowling and pizza at Ashwaubenon Bowling Alley.  Great fun was had by all!

New Rank Advancement Coming in 2016

The BSA is significantly changing rank advancement requirements in 2016. All scouts should purchase a new Boy Scout Handbook from the Scout Shop when it is available in January. What does this mean?

• ·      If you have already started working on a rank, you can finish it under the old requirements if you complete your work in 2016.
• ·      If you do not complete already-started ranks in 2016, you must switch to the new requirements in 2017.
• ·      Any ranks you start working on in 2016 must be done under the new requirements.

To see the new requirements and how they compare to the old requirements, click on the Advancement Changes Summary link in the Document Collection section to the right.

Eagle candidates receiving the Eagle Rank Award are Joel Haas and William Voelker.

"Eagle Scout is the highest advancement rank in Boy Scouting.  Since 1912 more than two million Boy Scouts have earned the Eagle Scout rank.  In the words of the Eagle Scout Promise, Eagles do their best each day to make their training an example, their rank and their influence count strongly for better Scouting and for better citizenship in their troop, in their community, and in their contacts with other people.  To this they pledge their sacred honor."  Joel and William are Troop 1468's 45th and 46th candidates to receive the Eagle Rank.

Congratulations Joel and William we are very proud of all your achievements.
