, from outings especially Philmont, Summer Camp, outings or perhaps merit badge activities that show the scouts actively engaged. Since we would like to work with the Pack 343 for PTA open house early in the school year, he would like these picture by next Monday night, August 2nd. We will also put many of these pictures up on the website in the photo galleries as well as part of the video.

Attention scouts who have recently been elected into the Order of the Arrow!
A reminder to all you newly elected OA candidates, the next Ordeal Weekend opportunity is rapidly approaching. August 13 through 15. See the Coosa Lodge Ordeal Instructions for sign up information! Deadline for registration is August 6. Cost is $35. If you do not attend this Ordeal Weekend you must attend the November 12-14 weekend or stand for reelection to the OA next spring if you are still eligible.
At this point, you are Ordeal Candidates and not officially part of the the Order of the Arrow yet. To become actual members, you must complete the Ordeal Weekend within one year of being elected. In the Coosa Lodge, there are generally three Ordeal weekends a year. One of these weekends has already gone past so you now have two remaining opportunities, August 13-15 and November 12-14. The troop will do its best to keep those weekends free of troop activities.

Ms. Jane Hampton of Cove United Methodist Church has an idea for an Eagle Project. Cove Church has a need for a library at the church for collecting and disseminating donated Christian literature. Ms. Hampton already has a bunch of books to help get the project started. Any Life Scout who does not already have a defined Eagle Project and who is interested should contact Ms. Hampton at 256-539-2683.

Youth Protection Training is an absolute training requirement for adult participation in Troop 343 events and is required every two years. If you haven't received the training or if you're in the window for recertification, the training can be accomplished on line at http://olc.scouting.org/. The online training should not take long (no more than an hour) and produces a certificate which can be turned in to Jim Johnson, Mark Christopher,or myself for documentation/filing. For those that are adult leaders in the troop, this training requirement is tracked by BSA through the annual troop registration process.
