WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR JULY 7TH, 2025 TROOP MEETING MONDAY @ VETERAN'S PARK! Our summer meetings resume tomorrow with a Troop meeting at 7:00pm at Veteran's Park. No need for Class A. Wear your Class B uniform or other scout appropriate shirt. We'll have a short time focused on sign-offs and then fun in the park so bring some balls/frisbees/etc! TROOP 65 CLASS-B ORDER UPDATE! Great news for those who order Class B items for Troop 65. Most of our order was delivered the day before we departed for camp. We issued items to some of those who had yet to receive their Class B items since crossing over to the troop. I will be working sorting the remaining orders over the next two weeks and will have them available on July 21st. Please note, some items are backordered as our vendor is experiencing major supply chain issues. Those items will be delivered once they are available OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS...
