Bicycle Safety - September's theme will be Bicycle Safety leading up to a bike trip to China Camp on Sept. 25. We will learn about the laws of riding a bike, maintaining a bike and we will have a guest speaker on the subject.

Rim Rovers - We will have a chance to add to our Rim Rover patch on Sept. 11 when we will tackle the beautiful Mt. Diablo in Marin County. Don't forget your camera!

Board of Review - Those of you who worked hard at summer camp for advancement will be able to have your Board of Review on Sept. 28 to be able to receive your new rank at the fall Court of Honor on Oct. 5.

Help - And how could it be a newsletter without a call for help? With a new list of outings comes the need for Trek Masters. With new Trek Masters comes the need for an Outings Chair. A T.M. makes reservations, prepares info needed for the outing (maps, special equipment, etc.) and organizes drivers and riders. The O.C. checks that the T.M.'s do everything they need for a safe and fun outing and files a "Local Tour Permit" with the Council. The O.C. reports to the Troop Committee on the progress of outing plans. See, it's not so hard. The OC oversees the TM's and reports to the TC and the SM. The TM's instruct the SPL, ASPL and PL's on what everyone needs to know. Another position up for grabs is Service Chair. This person seeks out and/or presents service projects to the Scouts and keeps track of the hours they work. So, sign up ASAP and PDQ.

, whether active or not, should plan on attending the Fast Start training on Sept. 14. It's a 20 minute video.

Photo's - We need photo's for publication on the web page. If you have recent photo's of our scouts please submit them at the next meeting in September. We promise to have them back to you by following meeting.
