         The scouts were busy this week working on lashings and camp gadgets for the upcoming Fall Camporee.  Beware: the chairs are painful and our square lashings are deadly.  . . . Anyway. . . .

Calendar:
         October 12- OA: Fall Fellowship
         October 16- Troop Meeting: Menu planning, Popcorn sale ends
         October 23- Troop Meeting: Critique of campout, Patrol leader choice of activity

Popcorn Update:
                 This week, the scouts sold almost half of what they sold last week.  (Which is bad.)  Obviously, we need to pick up the pace.  Kudos to Justin C. who sold over 700 dollars-worth this week, earning him another $50, some valuable patches, a spiffy camping pad, and first place for the second week in a row.  As a whole, the troop should look up to Justin...I mean down... I mean...urgh....JUST SELL MORE POPCORN.

Notice:
         There is a reward out for any scout (or scouter) found skipping out on cleanup duty.  This is a serious, unscout-like offense.  The punishment suggested by the ASPL is duty for the next week.  If the problem becomes more serious, leaders may start keeping track of these offenses, creating a bad situation for any scout with an upcoming board of review.  This is something to think about, and remember; your patrol leaders are watching.

         On the "flip side," the scouts should be making sure their patrol leaders are reminding them of their duties.  *Cough*  Jeremy... Locke...*Cough*...Lee... *Cough*...Sean O

         Also, Shoextune, Bwcxxxx, Firedrgnxxx, and Wmjxxxx have issues with their e-mail.  Someone please notify them, not by e-mail of course, that their subscription to The E-agle has been canceled due to some unknown computer problem.

Scout Trivia:
         Here's an idea for the troop.  I was instructed by the SPL to include a scout trivia section in this newsletter.  I do not know what this means exactly, but my thoughts were as follows.  At the PLC, the
leadership discussed having a weekly patrol competition, usually in the form of a game.  The winners of these competitions received points, these points were to be totaled every 3 months, and the winner (the one with the most points) was to receive a prize of some sort.  Now, if I were to include a trivia question in every weekly newsletter, and the patrol with the most correct answers turned in before the next meeting was to earn a point towards their 3 month total, who would be willing to participate?  I'll talk to you at the next meeting.

Joke:
         Urgh...I can't believe this is the best you guys can come up with.  There are entire Joke Websites out there...   Here goes:

                 "Why did the pig cross the road?"
                      "I don't know, I wasn't there!"  
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

         ----If I have to publish another one of these jokes I'm going to quit.----
