Senior Patrol Leader Announcements

Sign up for Cooking Campout Now!  Each Patrol needs to be well represented.  We will also be conducting an arrow of light ceremony  for almost 20 Webelos and need good PLC and OA participation.  Let Mr. Bennett know to place you on the signup list!

More Mountain Biking!!!!

UPDATE:  Due to a family event, I have to reschedule this to March 6th. Sorry for the change. This will be the weekend AFTER the Cooking Campout. 

We will still meet at Deer Ridge Park (located off of the south end of Woodland Hills, but not all the way to the end). There, we can practice some skills and check all the bikes out. Then we'll ride 2 miles (or more) of some local singletrack to test your skills. The trails are in Deer Ridge park, and there are a couple more we can explore nearby.

Plan on meeting there at 1-1:15 pm and being complete by 3:15 pm. Adults are welcome to ride as well! Bring your bike, a HELMET, water, and anything else you think you need. Dress appropriately. We will ride unless it's raining or if it rained a lot in the prior few days. That means cold weather riding possibly, so bring layers if it's cold that day.

I understand there is lots of interest in doing more mountain biking in our Troop, thanks to Mr. Wright's awesome trek through the woods at Double Lake. I would like to continue learning and riding with the troop and working on the merit badge for those interested. If you are interested, let's plan on riding on Saturday afternoon February 20th. That is after winter break for the Humble ISD people and before our February campout.
