Navigator News Upcoming Badge Opportunities
Navigators Troop 99 has a busy Fall filled with numerous Badge Opportunities! Scouts will be pursuing their Environmental and Conservation Badges with dual events on back to back weekends in October. First, a trip to a local Landfill and second, an educational cruise on the Anacostia River. Scouts will also get to tackle their Design Badge and hone their STEM skills as they build a Puppet Theatre for the NOVES Sunday School Puppeteers this November! Holiday time brings a chance to earn their Cooking Badge and spend time together in spirit of the season! Early 2019 is also taking shape and we are excited to offer a Camp-In opportunity at the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Please check out the NOVES Calendar and register for these Badge Opportunities today! | Sunday School Happenings Meet your Teaching TEAM! The first 2 Sundays of NOVES Sunday School is off to a great start! On the first Sunday back, the teachers and children got to know each other better by collaborating on a puzzle mural that will be displayed soon at platforms and festivals. The second Sunday was the first official day of classes. Holidays and Holy Days students made a Jonah and the Whale craft and learned about the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Comparative Religion students received an overview of theism and its many forms. They also talked about the chronology of religion and kicked off the study of the Abrahamic religions. A tour of a Jewish synagogue in October is being planned to coordinate with their studies. Its not to late to join in the fun and we hope to see your family on Sunday! |
