TROOP FAMILY PICNIC - AUG. 10th

Posted by Deb Worby on August 7, 2010

Mark your calendars for the Annual Troop Family Picnic on August 10th.  Once again, the picnic will be at the Canterberry Crossing Master Association pool, which is located at east Mainstreet and Canterberry Trail (22500 Canterberry Trail) in Parker.  The festivities will start at 6:00 p.m. and go until 9:00 p.m.  The troop will supply the main course (hamburgers & hot dogs, of course), and everyone is  being asked to bring their favorite receipe according to the following:  last name starting with A to M, bring a side dish; and N to Z, bring a dessert.  It’s important that you sign up for this event no later than Aug. 8th if you plan to attend.  Also, we need a couple folks to step up and volunteer to be the troop’s Grillin’ Chefs for the night, and a few folks to show up around 5:30 to be the set up crew, as well as a few to stay and make sure all is clean and tidy at the end of the night.  Thank you to Cindy Grim for arranging this fabulous family event, as well as to all who plan to make this the Troop’s best summer picnic ever!!

Congratulations Outstanding Scouters!

Troop 16 has a lot to be proud of…not only for the outstanding scouts that call Troop 16 home, but for all our outstanding scouters.  Recently there was a Pioneer Trails District dinner honoring the 2009 Outstanding Scouters.  Please join me in congratulating our very own Outstanding Scouters:  Mark Ahrens, Gary Carroll, Joe Kjar, Ben Jimerson and Al Pacheco.  These gentlemen exemplify what true adult leadership is all about.  Congratulations!

Pancake Supper THANK YOUs!

Posted by Deb Worby on February 20, 2010

Once again, Troop 16 had a successful Pancake Supper on Tuesday, 2/16, thanks to all of you who, not only sold tickets, but also worked the event! We have some very dedicated scouts and adults in Troop 16, and you should be proud of your efforts. This event could not have taken place without the many hours of preparation before, during and after the Supper. A big thank you goes out to Carol Siebring for her superb organizational skills and in finding the right people to step in where needed. Thank you to the “tent guys” who made the best pancakes we’ve ever tasted in T16. Thank you kitchen ladies - they made sure the food was served hot and that the scouts were the best servers they could be!  Thank you to Mark Santy for arranging the memorabilia table. How wonderful to see how far this great organization has come.  Suzette Farrar did a wonderful job of making the dining room look like an inviting place to enjoy the delicious dinner.  David Worby stepped in when we found out that our normal food supplier was no longer available, and he ordered the entire fixins’ from cakes to syrup.  Debbie Santy did her magic at the money table to make sure everything balanced.  And last, but certainly not least, William P., stepped up his game - when Mr. Abell was delayed he heard the call from the kitchen to assign the patrols and make sure all scouts were in the right place at the right time.  Well done, William!  Thank you to all the families who did their part in purchasing/selling tickets!  It takes the entire troop to make an event like this a success!  THANK YOU Scouts and Adults of Troop 16!!
