After a few adjustments and a decent nights sleep, our new website is up and running! Remember, not all of the features are working properly. I will have to devote some more time into the features to get the full effect of what this website is capable of. You are going to notice some changes in the near future to this website. Such as the first page you come to. This website will be a shared website. The opening page will be an area that you can make a selection whether you want to go to the Pack 56 Homepage or the Troop 56 homepage. That is the reasoning for the current domain name that we own
www.Fairmontscouts.com.
By having this domain name, we can have 2 websites under one roof and split the very small cost between the Troop and Pack. I hope you enjoy the features and service this website has to offer. If anyone has any suggestions, you can contact me at Steve379@frontiernet.net or Call me at 507-381-3811
Thanks

The Patrol Leaders Council is a group of Scouts responsible for planning activities for the troop. It consists of every Scout who was elected/appointed to hold a position in the last election. On the first Monday of every Month we are going to have a PLC Meeting for general planning. Any member of the PLC is allowed to schedule a PLC Meeting to address a specific issue.
Everyone with a position is expected to be present at the "general" PLC meetings.
Everyone with a position is free to come to a "special" PLC meeting, but only those who are specifically invited will be expected to come.
January Campout
We will be camping out at Cedar Point on the 18th, 19th, and 20th of January (this weekend).
On Thursday the 17th at 7:00PM we will meet in the Hyvee produce section to buy groceries for the campout. All Scouts are welcome to come. Anyone who comes will earn attendance extra credit, and get to have a say in what we eat.
