Troop Meeting on 05/13/2026

Posted on May 14 2026 - 4:42pm

We had a good "Joining night" on Wednesday even if we didn't get any visitors.    We'll try again next time!      Patrols did a great job running stations, and we all had a lot of fun.

Don't forget your food assignments and your own foil packet dinner for this weekend's camping trip.    See the next message.

Next Wednesday, we're having a parent meeting at the same time as our regular Troop meeting.   We'll go over summer camp, answer all your questions, and collect medical and merit badge forms if you have them.    This is especially important if your Scout has never been to summer camp with us before.   Hope to see you there!

Camping and Fishing Derby

Posted on May 14 2026 - 4:38pm

Scouts - For those of us Camping Friday, we're meeting at the Church parking lot at 5:30PM.   Eat dinner first, or bring for the road.    I added Kavan to the list for Friday to Sunday.

Let me know if you're not going to be there in time, and you can meet us at Camp JNW Friday night, or Saturday morning.

Breakfast is served by the camp from 7:15 - 9:30, and we paid for it, so don't miss out!

Bring all the normal gear you'd need for a weekend campout.   Dress in layers, hat and gloves in case it gets cold.   Toiletries, flashlight or headlamp or lantern.   Rugged foot wear.  Personal water bottle.

Food assignments (see attached).    Remember; we are bringing food for lunch and Sunday breakfast.   And bring your own foil packet dinner!     We're bringing minimal Patrol gear, so make sure you bring your own mess kit (plate or bowl, fork/spoon, cup).

Foil Dinner info here:

You'll need a permission slip if your parent is not attending for the entire time.

On Sunday, we'll return to the PRS School probably around 10:00, and will send a WhatsApp message when we know the exact time.

Walmart does have some inexpensive fishing poles if you need one.    Bring your own fishing gear.

Let us know if you have any questions!
