You will often hear us ask our parent volunteers for “just an hour a week” of their time for scouting. Here’s a picture of our own Gary Meyer giving an “extra” hour at the Maple Sugar festival at Lazarus to help a Cub learn about building a cabin. Have you given your hour to scouting this week?
This year 3 Scouters from BSA Troop 365 were recognized at the 2016 Buckeye District Volunteer Recognition Dinner — Rob Kemp and Matt Gansl, as a Bridge Builder (a selfless commitment to helping youth be prepared for life through Scouting), and Steve Aspery with the Bronze Award for continuing and exceptional service to Scouting. They are pictured here with their families, a happy time for BSA 365.
Make sure you congratulate these three adults the next time you see them for their commitment to scouting and BSA Troop 365.
Calling all chefs! We’ll be preparing made to order omelettes on Easter Sunday morning, March 27th at the Church. We have done this for a few years now and the congregation really appreciates it. If you are interested, look for the sign up sheet at our next troop meeting and be in South Fellowship Hall in your Class A uniform by 6:30 am on the 27th. Everything you need will be provided—including aprons and instructions. (We’ll be done by 9:30 am)
This Sunday, Feb. 21, we will be recognizing Scout Sunday at church.
Services are at 9:30 am and 11:30 am and Scouts should arrive 20
minutes before hand. You are welcome at either service, but attendance
is expected at one of them. In addition to attending the church
service, we will help with ushering duties and hospitality hour
(cookies, etc). Please wear your Class A uniform. See you then!
Thank you very much. KMS

On the way down we’ll be stopping at General George Patton’s Museum of Leadership, where there will be tanks to see and much more. We’ll be tent camping at Jelly Stone Campground just 10 minutes away from Mammoth Cave. The campground features heated showers and flush toilets. Average temperatures for the area we will be staying at are high 40’s during the day, and low 30’s at night (Turkey Shoot weather!). We’ll take the large white tarp shelter and heaters like we did for Valley Forge in case the weather is colder than expected. Remember, we’ll be on the bus, or in a museum, or in Mammoth Cave for a good part of both Saturday and Sunday, all of which will be warm. So, join us and come along for the ride in a once in a lifetime event.
How Much: $67 to cover cost of campsite, admissions to Mammoth Cave, Museums, Gas and Food.

A solid troop tradition! Definitely dress for the weather, particularly layered clothing and including very good hiking boots.
