We had a productive and fun Troop meeting tonight.

Don’t forget we’re collecting for Summer Camp NOW. To get the early bird discount of $550, please bring in a check or cash to Sunday’s outdoor meeting so we can beat the May 1st deadline, or pay through our website.

$550

We’re also collecting for the older Scouts and adults going on the Mount Washington trip, and have to make our payment before May 1st, so please provide payments for that as well. There will be be additional emails with more details.

$213.12 Scout

$227.12 Adult

We have our outdoor Troop meeting this Sunday at Lawrence Road Park from 3-4:15PM.

There is a District Camporee next week from Friday 5/2 - 5/4 at Camp Workcoeman.

Join us for an exciting Camporee with a Survior twist! Teams will explore, lead, and achieve as they navigate challenges that test their skills, teamwork, and Scout spirit. The day will be filled with many challenges where Scouts will compete to show their knowledge, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving abilities. Do you have what it takes to work together and come out on top?

Given the theme of the Survivor Camporee, details of specific activities will not be provided in advance. There will be 8 stations, and scouts should come prepared to tackle the challenges as a 'tribe'. Troops will be camping at designated sites and will be responsible for preparing their own meals during the event.

If we can get two adults to run the campout and enough Scouts, we can signup by Tuesday. Please let us know ASAP if you can go (adults and Scouts) by RSVPing here.

We had a wonderful Joining Night tonight with 4 new Scouts visiting!

Scouts ran stations making walking tacos, and playing team building games. Great job!

We have a campout scheduled Friday 4/11 - 4/13 at the beginning of spring break. Since we missed our last one, try to make this one so we can accumulate some tent camping nights. More details to be announced as soon as we are sure we have enough adult leaders.

Summer Camp payments are due. Please bring them to our next Troop meetings and don't miss out! We'll forward more details including Merit Badge signups.

We had a wonderful Scout Training class tonight: Introduction to Scout Leader Skills (ILST). A Thank You to all the adult and Scout leaders who made this a success!

Our new Scout leaders did a great job, and have earned their "Trained" patch for their uniform which they will get at the spring Court of Honor. Every Scout deserves a trained leader.

As part of the training, the new Patrol Leaders Council held their first meeting, and started planning out the rest of the year including this Sunday's outdoor Troop Meeting at Lawrence Road Park from 3 - 4:15PM. The theme is "Get to know your new Patrol", and it should be a fun meeting. Don't miss it!

The following Wednesday is the rain date or No Troop Meeting.

Then we have our Troop meeting and Joining night on Wednesday 4/2, and our next tent campout on 4/11 - 4/13. Save that date and stay tuned for more details!
