Troop 68 Open House 12 September 7:30 PM

Howdy !!!,

I am helping get the work out for Craig "Doc" Poindexter, Scoutmaster at Troop 68.  They are having an Open House on Monday evening, 7:30 PM, September the 12^th at the troop 68 Scout House at 407 North Mesquite (Behind the 1^st Methodist Church) on Mesquite – North of Division between North a& Sanford Streets.  They will have a lot of their equipment on display and pictures from past events.  They will be cooking something-up, as well. Troop 68 is the longest registered troop in Arlington (since 1929) and Doc has been the Scoutmaster there for the past 30 years. There has been over 100 Eagle Scouts since he came on board as Scoutmaster  They are inviting all Webelos and their parents and Cubmasters  for a good time and look at what they are doing.

There is a Special Fun Campout planned for the weekend of Friday, September 23^rd through Sunday the 25^th.    This campout has the new potential members in mind and should be a fun time for all.  The Cubs that go will have to be accompanied by a parent.  All of this will be explained at the meeting. You can go to   www.troop68.org  to see what trips are coming and who the contact people are.  We know that Webelos need to go visit a Scout troop to earn their Arrow of Light, so we encourage both Webelos ones and twos to attend.

I have included at least one member of each Cub Pack on this e-mail.  Please get the word out to you your Webelos leaders, so they can plan to come to a fun night.  This is a strong troop with a lot of great history and traditions in Arlington.  And if you can't make the open House, please feel free to come to any Monday night meeting at 7:30 and join in.

Thanks for all you do.
