TROOP 10

Troop 10 at the Cleveland Elks Lodge #1944 participating in the Flag ceremony in honor of Flag Day

Troop 10 is so very proud when our Scouts go out into the world and are recognized for their leadership skills. We do a lot. A lot of community service. A lot of high adventure fun. A lot of high adventure blood, sweat, and (sometimes) tears. But at the end of the day, LEADERSHIP is the name of the game. In their homes, schools, and communities, our Scouts are showing that they have what it takes to be the leaders of the future! CONGRATULATIONS CLINTON!!

From Melissa Strasil Morgan:

"Super proud of this young man. Clinton spent the 5 days at University of Tennessee in Knoxville participating in the Tennessee Leadership Summit. 100 youth from across Tennessee FFA and 4-H programs attended. These young people participated in small groups projects and large group discussions learning different styles of Leadership. Clinton found that his style is trait theory, which means that he can just jump in and be a natural leaders.

There were 12 teams in the Sustainability Challenge. Teams took 3 days to put together their presentation and presented on day 5. Clinton's Team won 1st Place. Their presentation was on Vertical Farming. Clinton was also awarded 1 of 9 Torchbearer Awards for Outstanding Leadership and Participation.

Great Job Clinton!!!"

We may not know them all, but we owe them all.

Rain or shine, our scouts will always honor our fallen! This Memorial Day, may we strive to live lives worthy of their sacrifice.
Thank you for all of the scouts that came out today to honor our fallen and thank you to Tennessee State Representative Kevin R***r for coming out and talk about what it means to honor and serve.

Congratulations Austin on ranking up to 1st Class and Bentlee on ranking up to 2nd class tonight! Great job!

Another great weekend for Troop 10 riding the Virginia Creeper Trail, camping in Damascus and going to the Appalachian Trail Days Festival! We had 2 groups of bike riders, one went all the way to Abington and the other one went to the big bridge that goes over the Holston River.

CAMP STOVE WARS DAY 2, lunch edition! This was the meal that was planned by only the first and second year scouts without the help of the older scouts. The Riveter patrol had a slight disadvantage since they only had one newer scout who has only been with us for about month and has never had to do a meal planning before, but she did great and so did the other patrols.
The first patrol to bring in their completed lunch was Cobra. They made smash burgers in the cast-iron skillet with all the fixings and served it with macaroni salad, chips, Oreos for dessert and lemonade to drink. 
The second patrol was Wolf and they served Italian subs on a toasted hoagie roll with all the fixings and served water to drink.
The third patrol were the Riveters and they made cheese quesadillas and served it with Sprite to drink and origami for plate decoration.
The fourth patrol was Hawk and they served pesto linguine with ground beef, topped with Parmesan, a salad, garlic bread and sweet tea to drink.

BIG CONGRATULATIONS to our 2026 Eagle Graduates! Boston and Ali (Walker Valley) and Rayley and Oscar (Bradley)!

CAMP STOVE WARS 2026 got off to a anxiety inducing start last night. We have a "hook" every year, and this year our first and second year Scouts had to plan a menu all on their own. This includes event info, roster, duty roster, meal planning, and shopping list.

Our first night is always breakfast. The anxiety came in because many of our older Scouts weren't there. BUT our younger Scouts did what they had to do and did it spectacularly! The judges all agreed that everything served to them was good.

Hawk Patrol was first in with pancakes and yogurt parfaits. They offered orange juice, milk, or water to drink. Although they really should have had some type of breakfast meat, the three youngest members of this patrol were the ones who were there (all 11 and under) and they REALLY did well.

Wolf Patrol went very traditional with eggs, bacon, and hash browns. Although they could have added some veggies to round the meal out, their planning form was perfect.

Cobra Patrol served breakfast bowls with all the fixin's, including chicken. They also served mixed berry parfaits and juice. Their planning form was a mess, but the food was served warm and tasty.

The Mighty Riveters served avocado "toast" with egg, cherry tomatoes, bacon, and balsamic vinegar. This was very visually appealing and tasty... but they forgot to serve drinks.

Who came out on top? Our Scouts can tell you but we are keeping silent. 🤐

Stay tuned for next week when our patrols get to make lunch... and work from planning forms filled out by first and second year Scouts.
