Our Troop had been invited to perform the Opening Flag Ceremony for the both the Danville and the Dublin joint Legislative Town Halls. After the ceremony, stay and hear updates on legislative priorities from Senator Steve Glazer and Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan and share your thoughts on issues you care about.

Performing the Flag ceremony will fulfill the following Rank Requirements: Tenderfoot #7b and Second Class #8a
With your MB Counselor’s approval, stay for the entire Town Hall to complete a portion of these Merit Badge Requirements: Communication #5 and Citizenship in the Community #3.

The Dublin Town Hall will coincide with part of the Troop 805 meeting. If you would like to leave after the flag ceremony to attend the Troop meeting on time but would like to experience the town hall, another one will be held on Thursday, March 28, 2019 at the Civic Park Assembly Hall at 1375 Civic Drive, Walnut Creek.

Contact Mrs. Quatman teamquatman@gmail.com for questions.

Are you interested in learning how to better manage your time and money? Are you working on projects where you have to develop a plan? Mrs. Yee will be leading a workshop for the Personal Management Merit Badge, starting March 12. There will be 4 classes held once per month, one hour before the troop meeting. Workshop dates are noted below with the start times one hour before the Troop Meetings and are designed to ensure the Scout stays focused working on the requirements.

• March 12
• April 16
• May 14
• June 18

The Personal Management merit badge is one of the most challenging Eagle required merit badges for a Scout due to the length of time required to complete some of the activities as well as having experience with money management. As such, this workshop is only available for those Scouts who are in 8th grade or above and have at least their First Class rank.

Scouts who have partial completions for this merit badge should strongly consider participating in this workshop to help them complete their merit badge.
