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 Happy Socktober! This Sunday, the Sunday School students executed the Second Service Project of the school year, a Sock Drive for #Socktober They donned their Halloween Costumes and "trick or treated" the Society members for warm socks for the homeless. The Members of the Northern Virginia Ethical Society were generous in their support of the Sunday School's efforts and...... 213 PAIRS OF SOCKS WERE COLLECTED! What an inspiring community response! We received 85 pairs of Men's socks, 49 pairs of Women's socks and 79 pairs of socks for babies and children. Plus 2 pairs of leggings. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this drive. Your donations not only help the local homeless during the Winter months, but they also help to teach our children a valuable lesson about performing intentional acts of community service. |
