““We are not a club or a Sunday school class, but a school of the woods.” ”
What’s the point of Olympics?
We eat and serve with a smile, and some attitude too!
We do our Duty to Country.
OLYMPICS — November 22-24, 2019
Troop 890 has been camping at Mr. Noble’s farm near Desert, Texas (between Anna and Bonham on Hwy. 121) for over 45 years the weekend before Thanksgiving. This is our annual recruiting campout where we invite Cub Scout Webelos IIs to visit our Troop and see what we are about. We continue this tradition in 2019 with something new: Girls’ Troop 890. For information and details on Troop 890 — Boys, please contact incoming First Year Scoutmaster Brian Ferrell, fysm2020@boys.troop890.org, will be leading the group of boys who are joining our Troop and starting their Scouting journey early in 2020. For information and details for Girls’ Troop 890, please contact the incoming First Year Scoutmaster, Lindsay Anthony at fysm2020@girls.troop890.org. There is no cost for visitors but we ask that you let us know who will be coming. You are welcome to stay the day AND night. The Quartermaster staff will serve a pre-Thanksgiving feast around 2 pm for all adults and visitors.
We play Fat Bat.
We sleep tight.
We play broomball.
But the dads ALWAYS win!!
We shoot. We hang out with our Dad.
We have a blast.
Thanks, Mr. Noble!! Mr. Noble is the father of 890 Eagle # 92, Neil Noble (1980).
After record rainfalls in September and October 2018, we needed to do a service project for Mr. Noble to make sure we were able to enter his property without getting stuck and/or tearing up his land. We had 27 tons of crushed stone delivered in advance of Olympics. Thanks to Jeff Clemmons for bringing his front loader, and to Dru, Clint, Bruce, and Dave for shoveling and raking!!
Entrance to the property — way way too soggy for vehicles.
This will fix the problem.
A new road entrance to the property!!!
