Upcoming

Posted on Sep 11 2024 - 10:27pm

Thanks to all our Scouts who performed recent service hours, including at the Wapping Fair and the invasive plant working group.

We had a good night tonight working on menus for our September campout, and working on our Patrol boxes.

Scouts who are camping should have a menu planned and food assignments.    We'll finalize our plans next Wednesday, and stay tuned for updates with times, permission slip, etc.    Hope you can join us!

In two weeks we'll have our Fall Court of Honor at the Church, but 30 minutes later at 7:30 PM to 8:45 PM to avoid a Church conflict.    Families are invited!

You may have received an email "Your BSA Membership is up for renewal".    Council is changing the way they are handling registrations.   Our Troop Committee is working to understand the new process, and we'll be in contact with everyone soon.   In the meantime, don't pay it yet, and if you did, just let us know, and it will all work out.   Thanks!

And don't forget to synchronize your calendar with our calendar so you'll pick up updates like the new time for the Fall Court of Honor in two weeks.

Volunteer opportunities this weekend. Signup for Sept campout.

We had a nice first Troop meeting of the year tonight, and our Patrol Leaders Council did a great job running the meeting and first aid instruction.

We may have two new Scouts joining us!

 

There were announcements about two volunteer opportunities this weekend.    Volunteer hours count towards rank advancement, so keep track of any time at them in the back of your Scout book, and both of these are approved.

The first is at the Wapping Fair this weekend, and they need a response ASAP if you're interested.   An email went out to the Troop tonight with the Google signup on it.

The second is an invasive plant work party at the Library.    Just show up this Saturday at 09:00 AM.   Work Party details are on their FaceBook Page, and information is on their SWIPWG website.

 

Please sign up for September Campout BEFORE next Wednesday's meeting so we can plan menus. We need adults too!

 

And make sure you synchronize your calendar with ours and keep those dates reserved for some fun events coming up!

Getting ready for the next year of Scouting

Posted on Aug 21 2024 - 10:01pm

We had fun at summer camp, a great Adventure Trip, two of our Senior Scouts went to National Youth Leader Training (NYLT), and some Scouts went back as Counselors in Training (CIT)  for more summer camp.

And now, it's almost time for the new year.  

This Sunday our Scout leaders will be having their Patrol Leaders Conference (PLC) meeting where they'll be planning our first meetings, and weekend events.

In two weeks, we'll start our new 2024/2025 Scouting year with our first Troop Meeting of the year at the Avery Street Church.

Our calendar has dates for the entire 2024/2025 Scouting year on it.   Make sure you synchronize our web site calendar with your own.   If you haven't done that yet, just login to this web site.  If you don't remember your password, you can request a new one.  Once in, just use the "Calendar Sync" option, and our calendar will always be on your device and updated with any changes we make.    Try it; it's easy and convenient.

We're having fun at Summer Camp!    We'll put up higher resolution pictures on Facebook, and a place you can see them all together, after camp.

Next up is our Adventure Trip in August.    

Summer Camp!

Only 4 days until Summer Camp!
 
 
We’re meeting at JNW at 01:00 PM on Sunday.    Please try to get there as close to then as possible.      Look for my car and trailer in the parking lot.    We’ll put your Scouts foot locker and bedding on the  trailer so I can ferry it up to our site.    Then we’ll meet on the parade field next to the parking lot for checking, and our tour of camp.   An adult must stay until we’ve checked your Scout in!
 
Wear or have your bathing suit and towel handy as we’ll be doing our swim test during the tour.    Even if you’re not spending time at the water front, you still need to take a swim test.
 
Don’t forget anything special your Scout may have signed up for including Bike and helmet, snorkel gear, fishing rod, ATV clothes, etc.     The merit badges Scouts signed up for are here:   MB Scout Summary      Let me know if you’d like to make any changes.
