Good Citizenship in the Community

Troop 323 has been working on the Citizenship in the Community MB in Nov and Dec.

One requirement is for the boy to give 8 hours of service to the community e.g. a non profit, charitable organization, city, church,etc.

Before our hike in November at Palouse Falls we raked off the camping area, which was a huge undertaking. Some thought it couldn't be done. That gave us 2 hours....hard hours I'd add.

Monday after Christmas we met at 9 am, yes 9 am on Christmas vacation and did some work at our place of worship; the Church. We took inventory by conducting a walk through and identified a couple areas often overlooked. Sacrament Trays, Water fountains, sinks and the member closet..... fair and balanced....I report it...you decide, does Troop 323 know how to
tackle a tough job and do it? Do these Priesthood holders honor their Priesthood and know
how to serve?

Biggest Christmas Tree Ever

Jace Culley Slays a Dragon

Congratulations Jace. Jace is a boy that sets and accomplishes goals. He is on the trail to Eagle!!

Jace Culley is a Boy Scout in Troop 323. He is an outstanding young man. Everyday last year at summer camp he endured cool weather and cooler water temperatures to pass off his swim requirements for Second and First Class. He made huge progress in his swim ability, but did not meet the test at the time, however last night we're proud to say that with the help from his Assistant Scout Master and Quorum Advisor; Jake Scott, Jace did pass off the Second and First Class requirements with flying colors!!!

This One's for Jack!

Last Saturday night grandpa and I went to the Pantra Christmas Party (that's his motorcycle club) and he won this hat. He's very proud of it and I promised Jack I would post a picture on the blog... well, here it is!
