Troop Elections Coming Up
Troop elections will be held at the March 21 Troop Meeting. It is very important that every Scout attend. Your elections allow you to choose your troop leaders for the next six months. Plus, we must have a quorum to conduct elections, so your attendance is critical. As a reminder, all Scouts running for election should be prepared to give a one-to-two minute speech detailing why troop members should vote for you. Scouts may run for more than one position in the Troop so long as they feel they can fulfill the duties of those positions for the next six months.
All Scouts registered with the Troop on March 21 are eligible to vote in the election so it is important to attend.
The link for the Spring 2022 elections is live. Please have Scouts complete that HERE.
- Scouts, be sure you have enough Scouting experience and rank to run for office.
- To run for SPL (Senior Patrol Leader), you must have a team of four ASPLs to run.
- Submit the form only ONE TIME. Make sure you check off whatever positions you wish to run for.
- Nominations close at 5pm Thursday, March 17.
- Elections will take place at the Troop Meeting on March 21.
Please direct any questions to ASM Stephen Cook who is in charge of elections again. Please remember that a parent must be copied on any email to a leader.
Thank you Mr. Cook, for leading our electoral process again.

Sea Base - Moved to 2024
The Sea Base High Adventure trip has been moved to Summer 2024. Registration opened on 1/12 but by the time we had a trek leader, most of the treks had been filled which limited our capacity. Therefore, we've rescheduled Sea Base to Summer 2024 which puts Troop 1910 back on our normal High Adventure rotation.
Lee Sampson has stepped up to be the trek leader for this experience. Much more information to come on registration, training, etc. for when we get closer to time.
At this time, Summer 2023 will be Philmont High Adventure.
ILST Overnight Campout
Permission form may be found HERE. These are due by 2/28.
If you are holding an elected position in the Troop and have not had this training previously, you need to attend. If you are interested in holding a leadership position in the Troop in the future, you need to attend.
Spring Flower Sales
Troop 1910’s Spring Flower Fundraiser has begun.
The Troop is selling flats of 18 in various types and colors
Price per flat: $17-26 depending on the type purchased (very competitive with stores)
Profit per flat: $6 per flat directly into your Scout account and $2 per flat to the Troop
Orders and money are due: Monday, March 7th
(If you cannot attend the meeting that night, you may email the scanned order form to Kelly Morgan and make arrangements to get the payment to her.)
Sell 26 flats... pay your dues for the next year.
Sell approximately 50 flats… pay for summer camp.
(If you cannot attend the meeting that night, you may email the scanned order form to Kelly Morgan and make arrangements to get the payment to her.)
A Scout is Thrifty.
A Scout works to pay his own way…
Sell approximately 50 flats… pay for summer camp.
You get the idea.
You will pick up the flats on the delivery date (yet to be determined) and deliver them to your customers when they arrive. They are scheduled to be delivered in early April. In the past, they have coordinated our delivery on a Monday afternoon prior to our meeting.
The flowers are grown locally and have been very hardy plants.
A printable sheet showcasing all available colors is HERE

Some additional selling tips are:
- Tell the customer what you are working toward (summer camp, paying your own dues, high adventure, etc.) People love to help you reach a goal!
- Tell them it’s a great way to get flowers without getting dirt in their car.
- Encourage friends and neighbors to share your flyer.
“Wyatt is selling flats of fall pansies to earn his way in Boy Scouts and pay for camps next summer. He will deliver in April, so no dirt will be in your car! The orders and money are due Monday, March 7th. Please let us know if you're local and would like some. A flat is 18 four-inch plants for $17-26. Feel free to share this with your friends!”
