Here is an e-mail about merit badge college from Ms. B

Dear Scouts (& Parents),   Attached are the details and registration form (all in one) for the upcoming Merit Badge College being offered by the Daniel Webster Council for the 10th year. Please return the registration form with your merit badge selections and check (Troop account funding also allowed.) on Thursday to assure your selections are in early enough. The entire Troop needs to register together. Merit Badge slots are awarded on a 1st come, 1st serve basis.

 Not sure what merit badge to choose? Check out the worksheet of each at: http://usssp.com/mb/worksheets/list.asp

We will also have Merit Badge Pamphlet books for you to check out at the meeting on Thursday.

Troop 8 and Pack 8 collected over 1,226 cans of food for the food banks. Thanks to everyone that helped. Mrs. Primeau was the organizer at the food bank. Which was very helpful.

We need every scout’s effort to get more scouts into Troop Eight.  The bigger the troop the better!  Remember: any time you could invite an interested boy to any of our troop meetings and to look at our website (www.bsatroopeight.org)!  Any where you go, like school, try to get people to join Troop Eight!

All scouts should bring their scout handbook to every troop meeting if they can.  Whenever a scout gets a requirement signed off, it would be best to give the book to Mrs.H where it can be recorded.
