The scouts had an excellent spring time meeting tonight, where they worked on some requirements. Here are the announcements from the meeting.

• This upcoming Monday (5/26/2026) is Memorial Day, and our town is having the annual Memorial Day parade, where we will be marching. Mr. Miller has sent out the full information on WhatsApp, so please look over that if you are coming to march in the parade. We will meet at the intersection of South Satellite Road and Connecticut Avenue right before 9:00 AM on Monday. They will close the roads after 9 AM, so you may need to drop off scouts at the intersection of Nutmeg Road and South Satellite Road if you arrive past 9 AM. From there, you would walk down South Satellite Road to the East, where we will be assembling on Connecticut Avenue. The parade starts at 10 AM, and we will be marching towards Veterans Memorial Pool, where scouts should be picked up. Please wear your full Class A uniform including a hat, and dress appropriate to the weather (walking shoes, etc.). You may want to bring a water bottle. 
• We are collecting medical forms and Merit Badge selection for Summer Camp. Make sure you get those in to the adult leaders so they can make sure you are all set for Summer Camp. 
• See this SignUp Genius for the upcoming June campout or Fundraiser opportunity:

Scouts and Adults   - We need adult leader campers and Scouts if we're going to have our June 5-7 campout.      

If we cannot get enough leaders and Scouts to make our campout happen, then we also have an opportunity to do another Stadium cleanup as a fund raiser on June 6th.   

Please RSVP at this signup link by end of day Tuesday and let us know if you can attend.     Once we have our numbers; we'll firm up our plans.

Thanks!

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!

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).

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!

The scouts had an excellent meeting tonight. Here are a couple of announcements from the meeting:
