Troop 1241 with support of Weingartz
Will be out Saturday June 27th 10am to 4pm selling hotdogs. Please stop by and enjoy a delicious hotdog prepared by your chef extraordinaire (fb page administrator) served to you by our scouts. The proceeds go to cover scout events costs.
An important part of scouting is that scouts have to work to pay their own way to cover the costs incurred for attending troop activities.

The troop celebrated flag day Sunday June 14th.
Following the ceremony we held a crossover and neckerchief presentation to two new scouts.

I Am the Flag
I am the flag of the United States of America. My name is Old Glory. I fly atop the world's tallest buildings. I stand watch in America's halls of justice. I fly majestically over institutions of learning. I stand guard with power in the world. Look up and see me. I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice. I stand for freedom. I am confident. I am arrogant. I am proud when I am flown with my fellow banners, My head is a little higher, My colors a little truer. I bow to no one!I am recognized all over the world. I am saluted, I am loved, I am revered, I am respected, I am feared. I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appamatox. I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome, the beaches of Normandy, Guam, Okinawa, Korea, KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, know me. I was there. I led my troops. I was dirty, battleworn and tired, but my soldiers cheered me and I was proud. I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets, It does not hurt for I am strong. I have stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon. I have born silent witness to all of America's finest hours. When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades on the battle field, when I am flown at halfmast to honor my soldier, or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter, I am proud. I am the flag of the United States of America.

Not every Scout will become an Eagle Scout, and that is okay.

Some dreams are interrupted by responsibilities, financial struggles, family issues, the realities of growing up. Not reaching the highest rank does not mean Scouting failed you, and it certainly does not mean you failed as a Scout.

Scouting was never only about badges or ranks.

There are Scouts who earned the Eagle badge, and there are Scouts who quietly carried the values of Scouting into their everyday lives without ever reaching that final rank.

The greatest achievement of Scouting is not the badge you wear on your chest, but the character you continue to carry, the memories and the friends you made long after the uniform is gone.

A great big thanks to Weingartz in support of Scouts. With the funds raised we can offset cost for campouts, summer camp and upkeep of our scout cabin.
