Flesher’s Fairview Nursing Home
December 15th, 2009 3 comments »The troop had a lot of fun at this event. We did some skits and songs to entertain the people at Flesher’s Fairview Nursing Home, we all think they really enjoyed it. At the end, we gave the nice people a card signed by all of us and some more decorations for their Christmas tree. As a gift from them they gave us some applesauce and cinnamon tree decorations that smell really good in the shape of gingerbread men, the nicest cards, and yummy Popsicle like candy.
Thank you,
Colin Lynch

On Saturday, November 21, 2009 the Asheville Christmas Parade will be occurring in downtown Asheville. Troop 73 will be joining other Troops throughout the Daniel Boone Council, and will get to march in the parade!
All interested Scouts and their parents should plan to meet at the Daniel Boone Scout office by 8:30am on Saturday, November 21, 2009
We will leave promptly at 9am for our assigned parade staging location. Please dress in complete Class A uniforms. The theme this year is “Scouting, an Outdoor Holiday”. The parade starts at 11am and we are #56 in the lineup. It sounds like it’s going to be a fun time for all involved.
Please mark your calendars now, and more details to come.

Wood Badger, John White
September 23rd, 2009 2 comments »On September 22, at the Troop 73 Court of Honor, Scoutmaster John White received his Wood Badge beads.
Wood Badge is a Scouting leadership program that aims to make Scouters better leaders by teaching advanced leadership skills, and by creating a bond and commitment to the Scouting movement. By “working the ticket”, participants put their newly gained experience into practice to attain ticket goals aiding the Scouting movement. On completion of the course, participants are awarded the Wood Badge beads to recognize significant achievement in leadership and direct service to young people.
Kathy Eaton, the current Wood Badge course Scoutmaster presided over the ceremony and Chris Lynch, a Wood Badge recipient earlier this year, presented John with his beads. The beads are presented together with a taupe neckerchief bearing a tartan patch of the Maclaren clan. Jay Walton, a Wood Badger currently working his ticket presented John with his new neckerchief and leather woggle.
Congratulations, John!
Court of Honor tonight!
September 22nd, 2009 No comments »Hi Everyone,
For those of you who are new to the Troop, and as a reminder to all you old-timers, we will be holding a Court of Honor tonight – Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Bischoff Hall, Lutheridge. A Court of Honor is a special formal ceremony of Awards, Rank Advancement, and Merit Badges. It is a solemn ceremony that all Scouts are expected to attend in Class-A uniform. All family members are encouraged to attend as well. We hope that everyone can be there to see their son’s and other boy’s accomplishments.
Boys, we ask that if you have earned Merit Badges, to please wear the Merit Badge Sash, and please make sure your uniform is complete and in good shape, accurately reflecting your rank, and Troop Position, if applicable.
This promises to be a fun and memorable time for all. See you there!
John White
Scoutmaster
