Merry Christmas

To end the year off with a bang, our troop had its annual Christms party. The party started with a flag ceremony performed by our color guard. Next, we had a small buffet- pizza and sandwiches topped off with a lot of desserts. After our brief meal, Mr. Gonzalez organized a mini-golf contest for the right to play our troop Deal-or-No Deal game. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to play Deal-or-No Deal.

Our final event of the night was the white elephant gift exchange. Some people got some good gifts, while others, not so much. The gifts given this year were unique, to say the least. We had people leave with things such as pineapples and Barbie dolls. In the end everyone had a good time.

Here are the pictures.

Gone Fishin'

Our troop recently traveled to Blanco State Park for a fishing trip. At first, not much was caught. That was until I landed the first trout of the day. After that, everybody came to the site where I caught the fish.

It was a fishing frenzy. Fish after fish, cast after cast, we caught em' all, big and small. Towards the end of the day, a few of our fellow fisherman became superstitious about me because I caught the most fish. By that time I had caught 6 trout while many of the other scouts were catching up. In the end, many of the scouts had enough fish to feed their families for the night. Congratulations to our troop fishermen for their catches of the day.

Gordon/Serrano Eagle Court of Honor

Josh Gordon, Matt Gordon, and Zach Serrano celebrated their Eagle rank at their Court of Honor. The Texas Capitol served as the setting for this great event. The whole troop, along with family members and other Scouting VIP's enjoyed the afternoon.

All three Eagle Scouts are commended for achieving this great success. Their hard work paid off.

Congratulations to these three Eagle Scouts. You guys serve as an inspiration to the rest of the troop.

Great Job!
