We had a great time on the March Rollerskating campout. We spend Friday night locked-in at the McHenry Roller rink and Saturday camping out at Van Patten Woods. Saturday was cool, but all the scouts old and new did great. Here is a video and some photos from the campout.

On Monday evening, 05 Feb 2018, the North Star District Eagle Board of Review met during our regular troop meeting.  Their task was to determine if Jacob Stutzman met the requirements for the rank of Eagle Scout.

After a thorough review of his documentation, an interview with Mr. Waldenstrom and a detailed conversation with Jacob, the Board unanimously approved his application for the rank of Eagle Scout!  Jacob is the first troop Eagle Scout of 2018! When you see him, congratulate him on his accomplishment.  

Well done, Jacob!

On 19 Dec 2017, the North Star District Eagle Board of Review gathered to review Kyle J for the rank of Eagle Scout.  The Board reviewed his credentials, interviewed former Scoutmaster Pat Klemens and had a long discussion with Kyle.  The Board was very complimentary of his paperwork and they found his credentials complete.  They agreed: Kyle J is our troop's newest Eagle Scout. 

Kyle becomes the 8th Scout in Troop 96 to reach Scouting's highest rank this year, setting a new record for the troop.  Kyle also joins his brother, Chris, as both of them are now Eagles.  Watch for details regarding Kyle's planned Eagle Court of Honor.  In the meantime, be sure to congratulate Kyle on his accomplishment.

Well done, Kyle.  We're proud of you!

Our last session at PADS this season was completed on Dec 14 at the United Protestant Church.  Troop 96 has been working PADS for 17 years.  We set up for 36 potential guests but as we were about to leave, we were asked to set up an additional 9 sleeping pads.  While we're proud to be able to help the community, we are reminder each time that there are people who are much less fortunate than we are.  Thanks to everyone who helped out!
