Troop News: July 23

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)
