Troop 194 Scouts,

 Thank you all for participating in the Leatherwork Activity and Merit Badge last Monday night at the Troop Meeting.  I’ve taken attendance of all that were there and if you’d like to finish the projects and the Leatherwork Merit Badge it would be my pleasure to help you finish up.  On Monday night, we completed all of Requirements #1-2, and started #3.  Completion of the Neckerchief Woggle with 5 or more Leatherwork Processes will be completion of #3.  I will provide Blue Cards to those who express their interest in earning the Merit Badge.
