Please click the link and read this (long) post to the end. Several important items to share.
Thanks!
Monday, Sept. 11th is the Court of Honor. We will start 7pm sharp in the Alspaugh Center (MTUMC main level). ALL SCOUTS should attend (wear Class A) and bring at least one parent. A COH is not just about rank advancement — lots of information about the Scout year will be shared. Expect the meeting to last a little longer than usual — grabbing a bite to eat beforehand is advised.
Monday’s COH is also the first popcorn money turn-in + reverse raffle. Remember, no cash — only checks payable to “Troop 934.” Any scout who registers a popcorn or peanut sale of any size is automatically entered in the Week 1 reverse raffle (after Week 1 the minimum is $100 of incremental sales). Any questions please see https://www.troop934.org/popcorn-2023/ For raffle prizes this year we went fewer/bigger/better — this week we are giving away
Also note that our Popcorn Kernal Mr. Love has posted the first Show-and-Sell (Storefront) sign-ups here https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090E4DADA828A5FA7-storefront#/ Additional dates and times will be added. You may sign up for more than one but please honor the dates you do sign up for.
The day before the COH, on Sunday, Sept 10th Pack 910 (St. Paul’s, 520 Summit Street) is hosting a field day/pizza party from 3.30 to 5.00 in the playground and portico areas of the church (enter from Pilot View St. on the lower level). Pack 910 needs 4-5 scouts to lead this event. Please let Mr. Lobb know if you can come — daniel@cubscouts910.org or 336-413-3937.
Sign-ups for the Stokes County Campout Sept 15th-17th are currently live on the troop website, here https://www.troop934.org/calendar/. This will be a really fun, full trip with BOTH zip-lining and tubing on the Dan River. Special thanks to George and Diane Clinard for helping offset a significant portion of the total cost of this trip. Additional leaders are needed! Parents, please note — per the Troop policy signups for Scouts will close on Tuesday, Sept 12th at 11.30pm. Remember that campout signups are via Eventbrite only. Thank you for your understanding.
Sign-ups for the October Canoeing at Kerr Scott and November Backpacking at Camp Daniel Boone/Shining Rock Wilderness Area go live right after the COH. Start here https://www.troop934.org/calendar/ As previously announced, the Lost Sea was unable to host us in December and we are attempting to reschedule the Cave Camping trip in January 2024.
As a reminder, while the Seabase ’24 trip is now on a waiting list, there is plenty of room for Scouts and Leaders on our first High Adventure trip to Summit Bechtel Reserve. Please see https://www.troop934.org/summit-experience-24/ for dates, a cost estimate, and other details.
Finally, a word about the troop website/email server. We are a victim of our own success – we have more than 150 subscribers, and when you send out that many emails at once Google and other email providers will sometimes flag you as spam-bot and sweep your important email update to a spam folder. We are working on a solution. In the meantime, please do not assume that everyone has gotten this email on the first distribution — feel free to forward this email link, and keep spreading the word.
Thank you!

This coming Saturday, 5th August is an Eagle Scout Workday for Patterson Handy’s Eagle Project. We will start at 8.00am at Simons Community Garden located at 1922 South Martin Luther King Drive in Winston Salem.
Patterson is building planter boxes along the fence line for the Community Garden. Any scout that is available to help to please come out and help. Please bring work gloves, safety glasses, and be properly dressed to work outside.
Please contact Patterson’s family at (336) 408-4171 with any questions.
Hello Parents and Scouts of Troop 934!
While the Troop 934 Popcorn Sale does not start until Monday, 21st August, we wanted to make sure you were aware that Wagon Orders are due to the Troop on Monday, 14th August during Merit Badge Monday. The order form is available here: https://www.troop934.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2023-Wagon-Sales-Pre-Order-Agreement-Parent-Commitment.pdf
For those of you who are not aware, Wagon Orders are where a Scout may order an “inventory” of popcorn to have in hand and sell on the spot. Some families find the Wagon Sales approach to be easier as there is no delivery step in mid-November – these families can be “done” with popcorn by mid-September. Wagon Sales can also be used to ensure a Scout reaches, at a minimum, his individual popcorn quota. The inventory will arrive September 8th or 9th together with the Troop’s Show-and-Sell (Storefront) order. Placing a Wagon Order is completely optional as it does create a financial commitment to the Troop.
Additionally, if you established an online Camp Masters account during the 2022 Popcorn Sale you may be getting marketing emails from Camp Masters. That is because – while it is not a point of emphasis for Troop 934 — the online popcorn sale for Old Hickory Council actually starts in a few days on 1st August. If you elect to do so you are more than welcome to start your online sales early (but first please confirm your account is configured properly and that you are shown as a member of Troop 934 in the Old Hickory Council!).
For additional information regarding the 2023 Popcorn Sale please see the dedicated page on the Troop 934 website, here: https://www.troop934.org/popcorn-2023/. Our Popcorn Chair, Matt Love, will be reviewing this and other information during a parents and scouts popcorn meeting during the regular 7pm Scout Meeting on Monday, 28th August, so please Save the Date.
Thank you!
