We are pleased to offer this resource to all members of the Troop 100 Family. If you are looking for information about Troop 100 we invite you to read about our troop in the About Us page and use the Contact Us page if you have more questions.
Troop 100 has been guiding young men for 50 years and making an impact on their lives as they in turn make an impact on the community through their progress in the Scouting program. Today Troop 100 has had over 130 Eagle Scouts join the ranks of so many before them and we look forward to having you join them as you set your sights on your future growth.
7:00 p.m. Troop Meeting - Backpacking Games, Ed Nitkowski introduces Pacific Crest Trail Back Pack Hiking for the hike from Willamette Pass to Bobby Lake and return on July 13-14. Photos and map of the route, hiking requirements for Camping MB, Leave No Trace principles. (Some Backpacks and frames will be available from troop stock for those who wish to borrow one for the hike.)
List of things to bring to Camp Meriwether and Baker and parental contact/mailing instructions for camp. Ice Cream Social during Review/Completion of merit badge planners for Meriwether and Baker. (Due to changes, every Scout must review their Meriwether Merit Badge Planner with the Scoutmaster!) Save the announcements for the Closing Circle!
With school out, Troop 100 changes this Wednesday from the Scout uniform to a summer Scout activity shirt until the first meeting after Labor Day on September 4th. Scout activity shirts include the Troop 100 t-shirts, a BSA t-shirt, available at the Scout Service Center Trading Post, a summer camp t-shirt, or a t-shirt from a Scout event such as a National Jamboree, etc.
(This year all Scouts and adults attending Camp Meriwether will receive a complimentary Camp Meriwether t-shirt due to our on time payment of camp fees and some additional long unclaimed t-shirts are available in the troop lost and found.) Scout uniforms must still be worn to summer camps and for breakfast/dinner meals, vespers, and camp wide campfires while in summer camps.
Uniforms are also worn during the summer to Boards of Review and Courts of Honor. Summer is a great time to get those patches from a prior Court of Honor sewn on the uniform for the fall. Troop 100 New Scouts and those who may not yet have them, are reminded that the troop has them on a list by the register at the Scout Service Center Trading Post to pick up complimentary Scout slacks (nylon with zip off legs so they may be worn as shorts) and a pair of Scout socks.
