Hello Folks, I hope all is well. We have had to make a couple of destination adjustments to the Troop 17 Calendar (Calendar Tab on ScoutTroop17.org). I thought it would be worthwhile to go ahead and list out the activities for the remainder of this Scouting Year. Feb 13 - Scout Sunday (Service & Lunch at Pres. Church) Feb 18 - Wildlife Club Campout April 1-3 - Virginia Creeper (Mountain Bike Trip, Damascus VA) April 29-May 1 - ONS Council Camporee (Scouts will be excused from school on this make-up day) May 27-29 - Backpacking Linville Falls July 3-9 - Camp Cherokee Scout Camp Communications: Remember, you can always go to the homepage of our website (www.ScoutTroop17.org) and scroll back through all updates that have been sent via email. This is a great place to look for current information. Also, we will be announcing in a few days our NEW Troop 17 Facebook Page. This will also be a way for our scouts (& parents) to be updated on current events. John Maynard
