Troop Meeting and Upcoming

Posted on Mar 21 2024 - 1:22am

We had a great Troop meeting tonight!

Mrs Sandra Bernstein visited us to present a very generous donation to Troop 186 on behalf of the Daniel Schaefer Trust.   She was very impressed by our Scouts and Scout leaders at Isaac Gonzalez's Eagle Court of Honor which prompted her to make the donation.    Our Troop Committee will be putting that towards something special to be announced.

Tonight was the first meeting with our newly elected Senior Patrol and new Patrols.     And the start of a new Patrol Contest.   Stay tuned to learn the results of the last contest!

We ran two stations tonight with a 'smores and knots theme.

Here's some upcoming dates:

  • 04/04  Thursday   Troop Committee Meeting.
  • 04/11 - 04/14  Thursday - Sunday  Gettysburg Adventure Trip.

Gettysburg Trip

Posted on Mar 21 2024 - 1:10am

 

Please read the attached flyer for information about the upcoming trip to Gettysburg, PA. You’ll find important information for Scouts and lodging information for family members. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to rent bikes for this trip. The company we were working with is “undergoing managerial changes” and will now not be open until the end of April. I have looked to find an alternate company, but unfortunately, all the others do not allow their bikes to be taken on trails. Please plan to bring your own bike and helmet to participate in the Billy Yank Trail ride on Saturday, April 13th. Otherwise, families can follow along via car ride while Scouts bike. Please ask Mr. Miller for more information regarding this - We can transport bikes.  Stay tuned for more details.

 

Below are the final amounts due for the trip. Please bring your payment to the troop meeting via cash, check, or Venmo. 

 

Scouts: $242.00 (if you paid $125 deposit already, then your Scout owes $117 remaining. Due tomorrow, Wednesday, March 20th

Troop Leaders: $246.00 (if you paid $125 deposit already, then you owe $121 remaining. Due tomorrow, Wednesday, March 20th

 

Adult Family Members: $125.00 Due tomorrow, Wednesday, March 20th

Children (Family Members) $121.00 Due tomorrow, Wednesday, March 20th
