New Troop Committee Chairman

After many years of service, Chuck Milam has retired as chairman of the Troop Committee. Don McLellan has volunteered to be our new Chairman. Many thanks to Chuck for all of his hard work over the years, and welcome aboard Don!

Rocket Hike

The first event of the year is the Rocket Hike. It will be held January 9th and 10th at Saddleback Butte State Park. The Webelos Scouts will again be joining us on this hike. It's time to get those model rockets finished up and ready to fly!

Calendar

The 1999 calendar is enclosed. It is also available on-line at the Troop web site.

Adult Training Classes

Adult members are strongly encouraged to sign up for BSA backpack, winter backpacking, and/or search and rescue training classes. We are very lucky in Troop 849 because our own award-winning Dick Rose is the instructor.

This is a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and help make our outdoor camping program a success.

Please contact Dick Rose for more information.

Registration Update

The re-registration drive is complete and the roster has been updated. A copy is enclosed. If any of the information is incorrect, please contact Tom Thorpe.
