Turtle Express: December 2023

DECEMBER TURTLE EXPRESS: Written by Yasiin

In the month of December, Scouts participated in the Old Town Hike, the Annual Planning Meeting, and a Court of Honor. The month of December was great for Scouts and adults. First the Annual Planning Meeting. Scouts participated in a discussion on what the troop will be doing in 2024. Many Scouts came and gave ideas. The PLC voted on some ideas that they thought were good. 

Next the Court of Honor. Scouts were awarded at the Court of Honor on what they earned over the past 3 months. One especially deserving Scout got the Scout spirit coin. All Scouts that are serving leadership got sworn in. The troop also got a trumpeter to play at the end of the Court of Honor.

Finally, the Old Town Hike. On the Old Town Hike, Scouts hiked around the old town in Alexandria. Scouts hiked over 5 miles. Scouts also visited many historical sites around Old Town. At the end of the hike, Scouts ate pizza at a local pizza shop named Quattro Formaggi.
