Our spring Court of Honor will be Thursday, May 28, at 7:00 p.m. All scouts should plan to attend unless they have absolutely unavoidable conflicts (like graduation). For those of you who will be there, we need scouts to perform the candle ceremony. Any scout can do this–including our first-year scouts.

We also need refreshments! Please email Gail Klotz at gailklotzrn@sbcglobal.net if you can bring something and indicate in the email what you are bringing. Suggestions are cookies, brownies, fruit, cheese & crackers, veggies & dip, hummus or guacamole & chips. We also need a few volunteers to arrive by 6:40 to assist with the food and beverage set-up.

In order to give our scouts more time to complete requirements for advancement, we are rescheduling our spring Court of Honor to May 28 (was April 23).

In place of our usual Thursday troop meeting, there will be a Court of Honor this week, starting at 7:00 p.m. in the RPC Social Hall (downstairs).

Wikipedia’s definition of a BSA Court of Honor: “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 scouts family members to be there for their scouts receiving his rank advancement, merit badges, and other awards.”

Troop 24 holds 2 Courts of Honor each year–one in the fall and one in the spring. We expect that all scouts participate in these events, although this year we realize there is a conflict with the RB Band & Orchestra concert, which will prevent some of our scouts from attending.

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, and it’s sad when a scout has to stand up there alone.

To all Troop 24 parents: We are in need of volunteers to bring refreshments for after our Fall Court of Honor this Thursday.
