High Adventure Troop meeting 2/12

Dear Troop 1610 Scouts and Parents,

This coming Tuesday February 12th will be "High Adventure Night". Scouts and Parents will learn what it means for a Scout to attend a High Adventure trip. I strongly encourage Parents and all Troop 1610 Scouts to be there this coming Tuesday.

Mr. Goetz will discuss more details for the upcoming "Sea Base" trip in March of this year as well. All Sea base attendees need to be present!!!!!!

I will also have the long awaited "Troop 1610 Philmont 2007" trip multimedia slide show. If you've never been to Philmont, heard about or are just curious what all the hype is about this BSA high adventure place. You can check it all out with the images shot by everyone that attended Philmont this past year.

Hope to see all of our Scouts and parents this coming Tuesday.

Yours in Scouting,

Brian Manidok
