Wreaths across America Saturday and Hike Sunday

Posted on Dec 11 2024 - 10:38pm

We had a nice game night tonight for our second to the last Troop meeting of 2024.    And the Scouts got their patch from the Troop Challenge.

 

This Saturday is Wreaths Across America.     There will be a brief ceremony at the Veteran's Memorial Park located at 575 Pleasant Valley Road, South Windsor at 12PM Saturday 12/14.    Then we'll head to First Congregational Church's cemetery located at 993 Main Street South Windsor to lay wreaths at the tombs of Veterans.

Afterwards enjoy hot cocoa and cookies in the church.

Parent must attend with your Scout.        Scouts will receive service hours for participation.   Class A uniforms.

 

Then on Sunday, we're going on a hike to Soapstone Mountain.    We'll meet at PRS school parking lot (not at the Church) at 10:00 on Sunday 12/15.    We'll drive to the trailhead in Somers, hike, have lunch on the mountain at the picnic tables, climb the tower to see a wonderful view, and finish by around 2PM.    Look for an email with more details.    Hope you can join us!

 

Next Wednesday is our Holiday party at Flight.    Don't miss that fun one!

Game night

Posted on Dec 11 2024 - 3:18pm

Troop 186 Scouts,   Reminder... tonight is board game night!  Bring your favorite game (that can be played in an hour!)

Bring your Scout book if we need to update the online Scoutbook.

Merit Badge opportunities

Posted on Dec 11 2024 - 3:18pm

FYI!     There are optional opportunities to earn Merit Badges outside of our Troop if anyone is interested.

 
Make sure you let your Scoutmaster know before attending any Merit Badges, as the Scout needs permission to take them.
 
Some of these are Eagle required.
 
Parents and Scouts are responsible for registration, costs, and transportation.    See the details in the links from the December 6 email.

Last MB Session of the year and upcoming

Posted on Dec 5 2024 - 6:47am

We had a productive last Merit Badge session of the 2024 year at our Troop Meeting.    Make sure you're doing your own work on your badge, and contact your counselor directly (with another adult on copy) if you have anything finished or any questions.

This Saturday is our WolfPack Hockey game.   See the flyer that went out via email.  It is a family event and not a drop off.       Hope to see you there!

We're planning a hike for 12/15 from 10:00 AM to 02:00 PM at nearby Soapstone Mountain.     This will be a great opportunity for our Scouts to complete a trail cooking requirement.   We'll send out more details about that.

Our Holiday party is at Flight trampoline park on 12/18.    See the announcement below.

We're planning a January Campout to the same cabin we went to last year at Camp Mattatuck.   We will have heat and a warm place to sleep.   Don't miss this fun one!

For Scouts interested in reviewing their incomplete merit badges, check out this list: rmd.me/Lv.urJIpphT

 

--->   ALL SCOUTS or their parents on their behalf should complete this online form letting us know if you're attending the hike, the party at Flight, and the January campout.  

Please respond by this Friday.   <---
