Here are some Troop 3 specific things on the horizon:

• Did you just complete a Board of Review?  Remember you are responsible for making a copy of your Scout Handbook page and sending to our Advancement Chair.  You can also leave the physical copy in the "Advancement Inbox" in the scout shed.
• If you completed knots last week and took your sign off form home, please hand it back to Ms Wooldridge at the next meeting to get signed off. Thank you!!!
• SPL and Patrol Leader elections happen next meeting (8/17)
• Position of responsibility applications are due the next day (8/18).  (See this page for info and an application at the bottom.) The new SPL will assign positions before the next meeting on 8/24.
• Troop 3 ILST will be on Labor Day.  All Scouts are welcome, but those with a position are supposed to attend. (Note that lunch is included, so please RSVP.) Have you already attended several of these to the point of boredom? Well, let Mr. Russell know, and we'll you give a segment to teach!

Here are some general things to consider before spots are gone.

Troop 3 elects their new SPL at the 8/17 meeting, followed by Patrol Leader elections.  Nominate yourself or someone else by next meeting (8/10) using the nomination cards/box in the Scout Shed, by emailing Rob (your current SPL), or emailing Mr. Russell.  You can also talk to one of us at the 8/10 meeting.

There are several events with registration deadlines in the next few days.   And a few more with deadlines in the next couple of weeks. RSVP now to help us plan:
