Camp Rodney prep
Swimming info -- We've got four evenings
scheduled at
Veteran's Memorial Pool to help troop members get ready for swimming
during summer camp.
- Tuesday, June 29 and Tuesday, July 6: Open swim
and "practice" nights, but NO SWIM TEST on these nights. Pool is open
until 8:30 p.m.
- Tuesday, July 13 and Tuesday, July 20: Open swim
and swim test offered.
Summer Camp Informational Meeting:
- Tuesday, 6:30 p.m., July 13, at Veterans
Memorial park. On this night, we'll cover a number of things related to
our big summer trip beginning July 30. YOU SHOULD BRING: Medical forms
(if you haven't sent them to me before that), merit badges you'd like to
take (if you haven't sent them to me before that), and your bathing
suits (we're at the pool after all, and it's a swim test night!).
Will Moran Eagle Project

improve a South Windsor park and assist Will Moran in achieving his Eagle

right up the street. Donuts and pizza served.

 Troop
186's annual fundraiser was a great success. Thanks to all who
participated and especially to Mike Mack for organizing.
Summer Camp Update
All scouts attending summer camp in Maryland
must complete a new health form.
Here's
the link. See further summer camp information below.
Yearly dues now payable
Yearly dues of $60 per scout ($50 for siblings)
are now payable. Please make your payment to the troop treasurer as soon
as possible.
Congratulations Eagle Scouts!
Kevin Leslie and Brian Moran received their
Eagle badges in an Jan. 24 ceremony at the

Way to go, Brian and Kevin!
Welcome Webelos IIs
 Troop
186 will welcome a group of Webelos IIs from local packs to a
get-acquainted troop meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 3, at P.R. Smith.
Webelos parents are welcome to attend an informational session as well.
Summer Camp Trip
Those of you planning to attend this year's
summer camp should read about
details in this 15-page information packet. Be sure to scroll down to
see it all.
Jamboree/Summer Camp trip
 Reserve
these dates for our summer trip! July 30 is the planned departure date - a
Friday. We'll travel to a scout camp in Virginia where we'll stay
overnight before going to the
National Scout Jamboree on Saturday.
On Sunday, we'll leave from the Virginia camp and
head for
Camp Rodney in North East Maryland for a week at scout camp. Our site
looks right out onto Chesapeake Bay - and the camp specializes in
waterfront activities. There are even two special programs for older
scouts, and activities that we won't see at JN Webster.
This full week is expected to cost less than a week
at JN Webster this year. We're working on one more activitiy to add to the
list - but since we've reserved our spots, the week is now set - and you
can put these dates on your calendar now! There will be more info on this
trip coming to you by the time of our next troop meeting.
LaserQuest
 The
Dec. 9 troop meeting will take place at
Laser Quest in Newington! Plan to
arrive around 6:40 PM for a night of fun with the troop. The night will
include three games and refreshments between games. Plan to pick up scouts
at around 8:45 or so. Cost will be $15 - payable in advance so that we can
confirm the reservations. This will replace our troop meeting for that
week. Please bring it with you to the troop meeting on Dec. 2.
Scouting for Food
 The
2009 Scouting for Food drive was a fantastic success.
Check out these photos of Scouts in action. This is truly a
demonstration of community service.
Troop Challenge Camping
Troop 186 took on Troop 880 and Troop 62 at J.N. Webster for a weekend camping challenge Nov. 20-22.
Check out these photos of the event.
Congratulations Greg!
Troop 186 congratulates its newest Eagle scout,
Greg Stonoha. Way to go, Greg. A job well done.
Welcome back, Scouts!
We hope you all had a great summer. We know that
everyone who participated in Troop 186 activities did -- from summer camp
at J.N. Webster to the Gettysburg camping
trip. Now we're looking forward to a great 2009-2010 year!
Eagle Court of Honor
On
Sunday, Sept. 20 at 2 p.m. at South Windsor fire headquarters on Ellington
Road, we will have the honor of
awarding the rank of Eagle Scout to Greg Stonoha. Plan to join us in
congratulating Greg as he
completes his climb to the highest rank in Scouting.
