Welcome back to a new year of scouting! The first regular troop meeting will be on August 25. The calendar proposed by the Troop Leader's Council is posted. Take a look, the Patrol Leaders came up with some fun things to do this year. The troop committee will be meeting later to review and finalize the calendar.

There will be no meeting on Labor Day, September 1.

Biking campout September 19-21 at Kankakee River State Park! Bring your bike to the meeting September 15 for a checkup.

There was interest in attending a different summer camp in 2009. If you have an opinion or an idea, talk to your Patrol Leader. They will decide at the September 18 TLC where we will go next year.

If you have any questions or comments about Troop 23, send them to mr.edsmith@yahoo.com .
