Last Meeting:
      This week, the scouts reorganized their organization of the patrol boxes, thus allowing the adults to go out into the world with our hard-earned popcorn money and buy new supplies.  Comments made during the process included: "I thought you cleaned this!" "No. Stop. Just...back...away from the patrol box."  "Umm, guys?  I think that thing just moved."  "Urgh"  and also, "Yeah, umm...what is this?  Oooooh..."  All joking aside, it is safe to say we've done something important by sorting through this mess.  Its also safe to say that we don't want to do it again.  *Cough*  Guys... *Cough*  (I hope you take better care of your rooms...)
       The troop also made a critique of the High Adventure Trek last weekend.  The major bad, entitled "QUITTING", was boldly printed and underlined thoroughly.  Brent H. was given recognition for his leadership efforts on his first hike with the HA. 
      
Next Meeting:
       TEST,TEST, TEST, TEST, TEST!!  The personal management group is having a, you guessed it, test early next week. (6:00)  If you have a question, comment, or would like to cry on someone's shoulder,  please contact Mr. Hollar. 
       All scouts are reminded to wear their class A's to the meeting and to continue doing so for the rest of... YOUR LIFE!!!  HAHAHAHAHA!  Or...until spring... Which ever comes first... So remember:  Get to know your class A.  Get close.  Real Close.  Practically wear it.

       "The Flight" -Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)
We are two eagles
Flying together
Under the heavens,
Over the mountains,
Stretched on the wind.
Sunlight heartens us,
Blind snow baffles us,
Clouds wheel after us,
Knarled and thinned.

We are like eagles;
But when Death harries us,
Human and humbled
When one of us goes,
Let the other follow-
Let the flight be ended,
Let the fire blacken,
Let the book close.

          One day, a man named Shutup lost his dog, Trouble.  So,
naturally, he called his friend, Manners, and the two drove as fast as
possible to the Police Station to find Trouble.  At the Police Station,
Shutup ran inside while Manners waited in the car. "Help me, please! 
I've lost my dog and I wanted to know if anyone here has found it!"
said Shutup to the man at the counter. 
       "Ok, sir, calm down.  First, tell me your name."
       "Shutup."
       "What?"
       "Shutup"
       "Where are your manners?!" shouted the man, startled.
       "I left 'em back in the car."
       "Are you looking for trouble?!"
       "Yes!  Have you seen him?!"

Scout Trivia Question:
       The DAWGS are the masterful...masters... of trivia this week. Next week's question is as follows:

       What is the name of the man (or men) who brought boy scouting to America? (Hint: its not Baden Powel or Colin Powell, but it is in the back of your book)
      
       The patrol with the most correct responses (in proportion to that patrol's size) before the meeting next week wins!
