 Troop 101 has been an active troop in Greensboro, NC for over 45 years, with our charter organization Westminster Presbyterian Church. We are a large troop, with 90 to 100+ scouts and many Scout Leaders and Troop Committee members. Our goal is to make Scouting a great experience for our boys, by providing a program that meets their needs for fun, friendship, leadership, achievement, and the outdoor experience. And it is our desire to carry out the mission of the Boy Scouts of America, which is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
Please take a look at the announcements and upcoming events for the latest information on weekly troop meetings, monthly outings, and service opportunities. If you have questions or would like more information about our Troop, go to Contact Us on the Menu to your left to send an email. Or you can contact me directly at scoutmaster@bsatroop101.org.
Bryan Sykes, Troop 101 Scoutmaster

On Monday, February 8th, from 7:00 to 8:00pm, at the Newbridge Bank Ball Park downtown, there will be a Birthday Party for Scouting. Everyone is invited! The Troop 101 Color Honor Guard will be presenting the colors at the celebration. CHG scouts need to arrive by 6:30pm.
February 8th is the official anniversary day for the Boy Scouts of America and on that day we will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts with a birthday party. So please bring all of your Scouts and help kick-off the 100th Anniversary. There will be information on all of the different activities that are being planned throughout 2010. A time capsule will be put together, and every unit represented will be able to put an item in. And you will be able to be part of the 100th Anniversary Photo!
Admission for the event will be a can of food which will help with our Scouting for Food project.

The title says it all. Class A uniforms are required at ALL Scouting events, with very few exceptions.
Quoting from the Boy Scout Trail: "Scout uniforms are an important part of the Boy Scouts of America program and one of the methods of scouting. Each boy gets to be part of a group demonstrated by their uniform and each group has a personal sense of identity. The scout uniform is also a display case for a scout's individual accomplishments and recognitions. We wear the uniform to associate ourselves with the principles to which we are committed - character development, citizenship training, and physical and mental fitness. The uniform is not intended to hide our individuality, but it is a way we give each other strength and support."
So at Troop 101, if a scouting event is announced, it is required that all scouts show up in their Class A uniform. Scouts out of uniform can go home and change. Whether or not it is a Troop 101 event, a Guilford District or Council event, or a Saturday afternoon of merit badge classes, or a Troop outing to the mountains, the official uniform is required. Unless the announcement explicitly states that Class B is ok, then scouts should wear their uniform.

Our Scouting for Food program will begin on Saturday, Feb 13th, with delivery of the food bags. On the next Saturday, Feb 20th, scouts will pick up the food, bring it back to WPC, pack it up, and deliver it to the Greensboro Urban Ministry. Scouts, this is an opportunity for service hours. Don't pass it by. It is up to you (not your parents) to contact Mr. Overbey to get signed up. So on Saturday, Feb 13th, we will meet at 8:30am at WPC. Class A uniform is required.
Alan Overbey is the coordinator, and Robert Neff is the scout leader that is organizing the event. We do need drivers who have SUV's that can move the scouts throughout the nearby neighborhoods. We expect we'll be done by 11am. http://www.bsatroop101.org/node/1512

On Saturday, Feb 13th, starting at 12:00noon, Troop 101 is hosting a second day of Merit Badge Classes at WPC. Class A uniform is required. Scouts not in class A uniform can go home and change. Parents and Scouts need to open the attached files. The excel file has three tabs. First is general information, second is badge specific information and third shows the class assignments. There are two Word attachments for Communications MB that are needed to prepare for class. If you are not signed-up yet and you do not own First Aid Merit Badge, then this is a great opportunity because of the first aid merit badge counselors. Registration for Music, Citizenship in the World and Communications MB's is closed, but you may tell Lyndal Butler in case of cancellations. Registration for the other merit badges is open but will close on Tuesday. Please write to lyndalbutler26@aim.com or call 312-0276 if you have any questions.
