Everyone, I hope you’re enjoying the holiday weekend. While it was (very) cold, we enjoyed the troop 682 ski trip this weekend.

We only lost one scout – but we found him. Seriously, through a miscommunication, two “buddies” became separated. But, the other scouts rallied, coordinated, and found the missing scout. He was having a great time skiing when found. Scouts, this emphasizes the importance of the buddy system – and buddies communicating effectively with one another.

Everyone, I hope you enjoyed the snow (and stayed warm and safe).

A few troop 682 announcements are below.

Yours in Scouting, Mr. Thompson.

1. JANUARY 11 MEETING AND GIFT EXCHANGE. We’ll meet on Tuesday (January 11) from 7:00 – 8:30 pm at Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church (43987 John Mosby Highway). We’ll have our (rescheduled) white elephant gift exchange. IMPORTANTLY, during the meeting, please wear a MASK while INSIDE. Unfortunately, I’ll be on a business trip and will miss the meeting.

Everyone, happy new year!
