Bring a patch or small scouting item for Cypriot Scout Troops 40 to this Thursday's Roundtable
Greetings – Attend this month’s Lone Star District Roundtable in person and, if you bring a patch or some other small scout item to put in a shipment to Cyprus Troop 40, you will be entered into some door prizes of Troop 40 bling – two T-shirts and their Troop neckerchief and woggle. The troop wish to add US scouting patches to their patch wall (see below)
In October, Lee Sperry was able to visit not one but two scout huts in Nicosia, Cyprus; Troops 40 and 76. At Troop 40, the scout leader was getting married that day so there was no meeting but Lee met two of the scout leaders who were doing some planning and was able to photo their scout hut.

A typical Cypriot Scout Hut (note that every scout quartermaster seems to struggle keeping equipment organized) Also note the BSA patches (Ex: 50 miler) on their patch banners– I have the Troop’s mailing address and told them I would send some patches from our Council to add to their banners when I returned.

Upon Troop 40s recommendation, Lee was then able to visit Troop 76 later that afternoon. The Troop was conducting their crossover ceremony where Scouts crossed over into Rovers (Venture/Explorer equivalent). Note like many overseas scouts, all three scouting levels (Cubs, Scouts, Rovers) meeting at the same time. Several of the Rovers Lee spoke with attended the World Jamboree held at Summit in 2018 and had fond memories of engaging with US scouts.
