In the last meeting SPL made an announcement for all patrols that are responsible to do flags to be at the church by 6:45 PM.  This will allow for the meeting to start at 7PM.

Congratulations to all the scouts who attended the camporee (Apr 27-29, 2012) and brought back home few awards.  The troop made up of Los Platinos Locos (The Crazy Bananas) and iPhone5 patrols won the prestigious Best Campsite Award.  Amongst themselves they also won one 1st place, one 2nd and one 3rd place awards in various skills competitions.  The best part was the scouts made three dutch oven desserts - one for the dutch oven competition (Worlds Largest Smore, they made one more of the same for their own consumption), and one Pineapple Upside Down....Yum!!
