This meeting’s focus was on finishing partial merit badges! Scouts were able to wrap up fifteen merit badges. Next week’s meeting (Aug 13) will continue this process.
In order to help scouts be more aware of upcoming opportunities, a set of clip boards will be at the back of the scout meeting for signing up. Having a sign up sheet will allow scouts to express their interest in an activity and doesn’t require the parent to share reminders from Scoutbook (please still do so, but this is another way to ensure scouts know how they can participate).

For tonight’s troop meeting we went to Ivy Tech to sort out food for Noblesville Weekend Meal Pack Program and we sorted and boxed the food to make meals for kids who can’t get food over the weekends. There was soup, ravioli and Chef Boyardee, mac and cheese, oatmeal and granola bars, etc. Afterwards, Mrs. Trusty, kindergarten teacher at Hinkle Creek Elementary School, talked about kids who couldn’t eat over the weekend and that about 6 months ago we [Noblesville] were the only district in the county that DIDN’T have a weekend food program. There was a company that was giving away $1,000 [grant] to buy the food, but we missed it. We then figured out that it would cost $25,000 to feed all of the kids. But, with Cullen’s 2,300 pounds of food collected, that could feed the kids for 1 year, maybe even for the middle school. Thanks for the food, Cullen!
Adam S., Troop Historian
The troop supported Cullen’s Eagle Project by organizing 2300 lbs of food at Ivy Tech collected outside Kroger during the first two weekends of his project. The troop sorted items into barrels by type, loaded them into boxes, and put them in storage. Cullen’s project beneficiary, Mrs. Trusty, spoke to the troop about the Noblesville Weekend Meal Pack program, thanking the troop and sharing that 180 elementary school students participate and that the food collected these two weekends is enough to address the needs of the program for a year.
Next meeting: water baloon capture the flag. Dress appropriately (swim suit, and Activity Uniform)

Important note! Next week’s meeting will be at a different location!
