Nantahala Shooting Sports Day !
Also a big Thank You to All of the packs & troops that came out and
participated on Sat. Sept. 24th. It was great to see our Scouts having a
great time on the range.
Leaders, please don't forget Round Table on Mon. & Training Day on
Sat. Oct.15th (8:45-12:30) at Andrews UMC (upstairs in Pack 401's

Also, a Big Shout Out to Troop #405's Troop Committee who got 9
committee members trained last Fri. night while Troop #405 was
planting a garden at their Chartered Organization (Snow Bird Youth
Center). On Sat, Troop #400 did an awesome job cleaning tons of debris
out of a river in Murphy ! Great job Scouts & Scouters !
Keep up the Great Work !
