After summer camp, Scouts may find that they have a "partial" on a merit badge, one or more requirements that are not yet done, and which they may want to wrap up. If you want to check your status, see the attached report showing all current "partials" for Troop 511 Scouts. Ready to take next steps? Here's A Basic Guide to Merit Badge Partials for T511 Scouts.  If we have an MBC in the troop, the Scout can often work with that Merit Badge Counselor during a regular troop meeting. If you lose track of this information later, just remember to look in troop website menu! The path is Files » Advancement Info for Scouts » Merit Badge Info. You can also always reach out to our Advancement Chair, Mr Isaac Wankerl, with questions about your status.

Hello, all! We have had to move our possible dates for the painting of the parking lot curbs. The two current possible dates are Sat July 11 and Sat July 25. We will keep checking with the church as July approaches, as it's possible that the church could end up needing to ask us to reschedule. (They sometimes have Saturday events that are scheduled just a week or so out.)

We are going to order name strips for anyone that doesn't yet have their name on their class A shirt. Your first name strip is FREE. Scouts (and parents who have a class A shirt or are considering having one), please use this chance to get your name on your shirt! Bring your class A shirt and any patches you would like sewn on to our Troop meeting on Tuesday June 23, or give your shirt to Mrs. Kerkhoff at any time before that. Note that our meeting on the 16th will be at Barton Springs. Mrs. Kerkhoff will indeed be there collecting shirts! Summer is a great time to do this, as you can wear a Troop 511 shirt or any other Scouting t-shirt to meetings. Thanks for your attention!
