Trail Life Parents,
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years. We are excited for the work that God will be doing in our troop this year and for the things that He will accomplish in our trailmen and dads.
We wanted to updated you on the upcoming events that we have planned for this month as there have been some changes that we needed to account for in the schedule.
Leadership Academy (Jan 12th)
This event will be getting rescheduled to another date. We are still working internally to determine what is the next best date to host this. Please stay tune for more on this, our goal is to have as many navigators and adventures attend the leadership academy and we need to pick a date that will work for all if possible.

All Troop Meeting - Solar System (Jan 29th)
We will be meeting at Wildwood Park for this meeting. Roland Szabo will be leading this meeting and we’re hoping to build the entire solar system this time as we ran out of time last year when we tried to do this. One thing for sure we accomplished is realizing just about how big our solar system is and how thoughtful and mighty our Creator is. We hope to seeing everyone there.
