SML trip is cancelled due to weather....

Troop :
due to weather circumstances out of our control, we have decided to postpone the Smith Mountain Lake trip to next weekend, Sept 27-29. The forecast is basically rain and thunderstorms for most of the weekend. In fact, it's raining there right now as a write this. This weather would put a significant damper on the swimming and boating festivities.
We apologize for the late notice, the scouts' safety is our first concern, and hopefully the weather will cooperate next weekend. If you purchased perishable food for the trip, please bring me the receipt and I'll reimburse you.

Please go to the Doodle page as soon as you can and update if your scout can attend next weekend so we can plan very quickly.

Remember this week is the multiple Eagle ceremony Court of Honor. Parents, Courts of Honor are for you too, join us in celebrating your Scouts' accomplishments.

-Don
