March 3      The regular monthly meeting of the Boy
Scout Units 448 Committee will be at the Jack Kepley Scout Building at 6:30

supper.

 

Monday,
March 9      A team from the Rowan Chapter
of the Order of the Arrow (OA) will be present at our regular meeting to
conduct our troop's OA election.  The OA
is Scouting's national honor society, as explained on pages 426-427 of the
Handbook, and it is a high honor to become a member.  Some of our Scouts, who meet the membership requirements, may be
nominated and the troop will elect some to become OA members. .

 

Saturday, March

Camp Barnhardt for this date.  If you
have not participated in this exciting Scouting activity, you have a great
experience in store.   No prior climbing
or rappelling experience is necessary and there is no charge for this
event.  We will leave the Scout building
at 8:00 am.  Don't miss it.

The regular monthly troop Board of Review will be held at 6:30 pm.  Class A uniform is required.  This will be the last Board of Review before
the Troop Court of Honor.  Complete the

you may be recognized at the Court of Honor.

sponsored by Coburn United Methodist Men will be held at the Woodleaf Lanes at
