Boy Scout Troop 803

We are completing the attendee list of scouts, scouters and parents who want to reserve a spot for this exciting adventure as the previous emails have detailed.  Anyone not having already registered, please email me ASAP.  One change is that those scouts 12 years of age or older by Sept 30, 2012 are eligible.  This is a change.  All individuals will be reviewed by their guides for maturity level and physical ability to participate in each program while we are there.  In rare cases, one may need to participate in a program other than that days activity as planned due to the guides belief that it would be too dangerous for that person or the crew at large.  We currently have 7 scouts and 4 adults planning on making this trek.  If questions, please call me at 636-346-8665 to discuss anything further.  Our first organizational meeting will be held within the next couple of weeks, as soon as the roster is set.

This looks to be a great program and will assist an ordeal member on his or her way to brotherhood.  Let's have a great showing at a location so near to us.  If you have any questions, please contact Thomas Felman, your OA rep.  If you cannot reach Thomas, please forward your questions to either Mr Pautz or Mr Schwartz.

Congratulations to Dan Schneier who earned his Eagle rank Dec 1, 2010 and Jack Vogel who earned his Dec 8, 2010.  You both have shown great ability to stay with a plan to achieve a goal that was in it's making for over 5 years.  Well done scouts.

Sean has been added to the troop honor roll

Congratulations to Daniel Schneier and St Louis U High on taking state in the highschool men's volleyball program.  Their crushing blows last night are still being felt by the members of the Frances Howell Central team.  Daniel provided many of the winning points while serving, attacking and blocking.  He was a formidable force on the courts.

Congratulations to the Stickman patrol for winning the pizza party for their sales at our last fund raiser program.  They will be rewarded with their pizza party at Shenandoah Valley cafeteria this Monday night at 6:00 pm.  Job well done!!!
