10/15 Troop Showcase

10/15 - Troop Showcase

Troops present themselves to Arrow of Light Cub Scouts

The Troop Showcase will be held at Centerville Community Park on Saturday, October 15 from 10 AM until Noon.
  • Troops may begin arriving at 9:00 AM to set up.
  • Arrow of Light Cub Scouts, Parents, and Leaders are invited to visit from 10 AM until Noon.
  • Troops will have to bring tables, displays, and anything else that they might need for the event and will have to sweep their area to make sure it is 100% clean before leaving.
  • Parking is limited. We ask that Troops unload equipment and then cars use street parking.
  • We ask that all troops check in at the registration desk during setup.
For more information contact mp-commissioner-allen@comcast.net

This is 100% separate from the October District Roundtable. The Troop Showcase is one of the very best places for Webelos & Arrow of Light Cub Scouts to start their quest for their ideal Troop. Typically, over 80% of the Troops are present at the Troop Showcase with a similar percentage of the Arrow of Light Dens participating in the event. Please pass the word to Troops and to Arrow of Light Cub Scouts, their Den Leaders, and their parents.

Updated information for each Troop will be posted on the website. This is a resource for Arrow of Light Cub Scouts and their parents in their quest to bridge into Scouts BSA.

If you have questions, please contact Henry Allen, Assistant Chair for Membership - Webelos to Scout Retention, MP-Commissioner-Allen@comcast.net

10/29 All Day Railroad Merit Badge @ Niles Canyon Railway

10/29 Railroad Merit Badge @ Niles Canon Railway
Attention all Train Enthusiasts!

Mission Peak District and Niles Canyon Railway have joined forces to bring together this awesome all-day Railroad Merit Badge! Our Mission Peak scouts have been invited to join the Niles Canyon Railway volunteers on October 29th starting at 8:30 am for this great opportunity to work right next to some of the most amazing trains throughout history.

There are only 25 spots available for this Merit Badge. If Scouts are interested, they are required to finish requirements 2, 4, and 7 before signing up. Those requirements must be photographed/scanned before enrolling in this merit badge. The first 25 scouts to accomplish these tasks, turn them in, pay the $25 dollar registration, and be approved will be allowed to sign up.

Please have scouts email Miss Eve directly (with a 2nd adult on CC) at EvelynMarieLittle@gmail.com for more information or to be enrolled on the INTERESTED list. If you are interested in volunteering for this event, please also reach out to Eve so we can have extra help to make this fantastic opportunity a great success!
