This year we had many scouts from the troop participate in all the aspects of the festival such as in set-up, clean-up, and others. On Friday evening we enjoyed listening to two rock groups with a light crowd. Scouts stayed after and slept on the festival grounds the first night for security and the second night for security and to start to cook the chicken for the next day’s events.

On the first day of the official festival we ran the entry for the auto show and ran the ice cream booth in shifts. We also did night clean-up before cooking the chicken. The second day we attended Mass in the morning and prepared for the day’s events. We ran the ice cream booth again and participated in take down and clean-up for the festival. This year went very nice thanks to participation from many of the scouts. The few that stayed all weekend were Alex, DJ, Kyle, Joey J., Matt S., and Mr. Svihlik. Helping out at different times throughout the weekend, before and after the festival were Allen, Alex Da., Derek, Donald, Greg, Jacob W., Joe K., Joey P., John, Jordan, Justin, Kurtis, Nate, Nick, Peter, Ryan, Sam, Mr. Dzurnak, Mr. Makowski, Mrs. Verhovnik. Pictures anyone?

Trip Plan for Parish Festival

The Church of the Assumption Festival is a great opportunity for the troop to give back to our Charter Organization. Volunteering at the Festival will also qualify as service hours toward Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge. As a troop we will be helping out with setup, the ice cream booth, field games, and other tasks. The SPL is handling volunteer assignment and sign-up. Please talk with him to pick your slot. Anyone interested can spend Friday and Saturday night camping on the parish grounds provided you bring your own tent.

UNIFORM: We will be wearing both Class "A" and Class "B" uniforms throughout the weekend. Class "B" is either Troop 810 T-shirt or Summer Camp T-shirt and scout shorts. This is a must for showing off our troop and allowing other festival workers an easy way to identify us. Bring along an extra scout T-shirt for Saturday evening.

All scouts MUST check out with an adult leader before leaving the site and check in upon return.
