On November 30th, during the regular Monday night meeting, the Troop will travel to Wal Mart, on Sheila lane, to purchase gifts for a Bainbridge family in need this holiday season. This has become a troop tradition. Scouts are asked to earn, if possible, $5 or more, before the 30th, doing chores around the house or in some other constructive way.

On Saturday morning, the troop has been asked to help plant trees and bulbs at the new St. Michael's Singleton campus. We plan to start at 8:00 AM and will be done by Noon.
Our tasks include:
2 foot deep holes to plant 75 forsythia and verticillata bushes on the hills at St Michaels Middle School
200 flower bulbs across the grounds
Possibly some painting - if you have a paint sprayer and are so inclined
Trash pickup and debris removal
Wear work clothes (no uniform) and bring work gloves. If you have a shovel, rake, or other tools that will help with this work, please bring them, too.
This is an approved community service project for Troop 840.
Please let Rick Chess know when you will be there and what equipment you will be bringing. Call Rick’s office at 474.9879 or email him at rick@chesslawfirm.com.

All,
Mark your calendars for Scouting for Food - Bags Out and Bags In. We are partnering with Pack 861 and Pack 840 again this year. We'll meet at Bon Air Presbyterian Church, on Huguenot Road (near the intersection of Huguenot and Forest Hill). Bags go out on Saturday, the 31st and bags come in on Saturday 11/07. This is a troop-wide service project and all Scouts are expected to participate. Adults - we'll need drivers both days to help shuttle Scouts and bags into the neighborhoods near St. Michael's.
Sign ups will be taken at the next two Scout meetings and the Fall Court of Honor. Or, you may sign up, on this site, under event registrations.
Mr. Hadley
