When you get the chance, please invite people you know to come take a look at Scouts! Coming up in just a couple of weeks, Speedfest could be a great event to introduce new youth to Scouting! Invite a friend who is not currently in Scouts to come join you at Speedfest on November 14. Both the Scout and their buddy will receive a limited-edition race car patch. Speedfest is our fall membership celebration at Circuit of the Americas on Saturday, November 14. Register here. This FREE event offers a lot of activities, including:

The troop has been asked to cook hotdogs for the annual First Presbyterian Church Trunk or Treat this Sunday (10/25) from 4pm to 6pm.  This event has a few hundred attendees who love to eat hotdogs.  There's always a lot of candy and you can get 2 service hours!  All of the needed supplies will be provided, all we need is you.  Troop 511 will be meeting at 4pm in the First Presbyterian Church parking lot.  8001 Mesa Drive.  Wear your class A uniform.  We will be done at 6pm.  

The Settlement Club is looking for volunteers to help with the 51st Settlement Club Garage & Estate Sale! Volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks Oct 30 - Nov 8. Review the options and sign up here. Learn more about the work of The Settlement Home for Children and this fundraiser at settlementhome.org. This is a chance to earn service hours and support a great cause. 

Parents, let's all get together in the conference room and see about knocking out some of the Scouts Basic Training courses for parents! We will have a projector so that everyone can see the same screen, but bring your phone or laptop so that you can sign in, advance through, and take the quiz at the end of each course. You can also bring earbuds in case you want to take a different course than most. There will be snacks, there will be socializing -- let's have this be fun! We will also get anyone who's interested, started on becoming a Merit Badge Counselor! 

  We have a fun service opportunity for you this week! This year's St. Matthew's Day School Fall Fest is happening this Friday, Oct 16. They have reached out to see if anyone from Troop 511 is interested in volunteering and available to come.  Fall Fest is on Friday October 16th at St Matt's. Volunteers are needed from 4:30 - 8:30pm. Pizza will be served!  Service hours will also be given, if needed (for school etc as well as Scouts).  Register or learn more here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0D45ADAB22A3FECF8-66243823-angel#/
