Two thousand Eleven, is a new year. You already know that but what are you going to accomplish in this year. What goals and accomplishments do you anticipate? I encourage each of you to sit down and look forward to the day you want your Eagle court of Honor and then look back from then to now and set goals for working toward that court of honor.

You have the potential to accomplish great things! You can do what ever you dream. You have the asset of your fellow Troop members and if it is really worth while the Order of the Arrow and growing from there the district and Council. It all starts with an idea. It could be yours. Tragedy would be if you never shared it and acted on it.

Thomas enjoyed experimenting with the propellant and firing a potato gun. He got the idea to have the Troop build the potato gun and use it for Encampment. It was a big success for the Troop.
