In place of our usual Thursday troop meeting, there will be a Court of Honor on October 1st, starting at 5:00 p.m. at the Riverside Scout Cabin. Scouts who wish to participate as color guard, candle lighters, etc. should arrive at 4:45 p.m.

In the Boy Scouts of America a Court of Honor is a troop activity where scouts and their families come together to get their awards and have a good time together. It is important for the scout’s family members to be there for their scouts receiving his rank advancement, merit badges, and other awards.

Sheltering-in-place guidelines prevented us from conducting an in-person Spring Courts of Honor, so we hope that you enjoy this opportunity to get outside for socially-distanced, masked recognitions.

Scouts should dress in full uniform, including their scarf and merit badge sash (if they have one). Please no jeans or athletic apparel.

We also ask that each scout have at least one parent or grandparent present. Parents as well as scouts come forward when rank advancements are announced.

To assist us in set-up, if you could bring your own folding chairs for the event, we’d appreciate it.

Please register here if you plan to attend, so we can have a sense of how big the turn-out may be.
