The scouts had an excellent meeting tonight working on some group activities and exercises to develop a new group development strategy for the troop. Here are some important announcements from the meeting:
- Last weekend the scouts had an excellent campout at Camp Johnson. The family dinner and Court of Honor also went extremely well. Congrats to everyone for their rank advancements and merit badges.
- This weekend Sam is having his Eagle Project work day. All the information about the work day is in the WhatsApp group. Please come and support your eagle candidate, and scouts can receive service hours for assisting in this project.
- Next Wednesday during our regular troop meeting times, we will be holding a parent meeting. Please try to have at least one parent per scout attend the meeting, as we will be sharing some important information about the scouting year.
Here’s a few last minute things for the campout this weekend. Don’t forget your Class A uniform!
We’re dropping off and picking up at nearby Camp Johnson. Directions and a camp map can be found here:
We’re camping in the Cub Area/Wick’s Pavillion up the hill to the left of the lake from the parking lot. We’re having the COH and dinner near the cabin to the right of the parking lot.
Dress in layers as it will be cooler at night and warm to hot during the day. Bring rain gear for Sunday.
Bring your own mess kit! Water bottle, and snacks you might want, your Scout book, something to write on and write with. Toiletries flash light/lantern/head lamp.
You can also check on The Scout Basic Essentials in your Scout book.
You’ll need a permission slip unless your parent is staying the entire trip.
Don’t forget your patrol food assignments. Check with your Patrol chat if you’re not sure.
Bring a camp chair or folding chair for everyone if you can, and don’t forget your Class A uniform!
The scouts had an excellent meeting tonight planning their patrol menus and organizing patrol equipment to get ready for the upcoming campout this weekend. Here is some important information from tonight's meeting:
- More detailed information about the campout will be released on the WhatsApp group on Thursday, so stay tuned for that. For menus, scouts are responsible for purchasing their assigned foods for their patrol meals. For the foods being made for the family dinner on Saturday night, the troop will purchase all the food needed, so scouts do not need to purchase any of that.
- For scouts and adults that are camping out from Friday night, we will be meeting at the campsite near Bolton between 5:30PM and 6:00PM.
- Families that are coming to the Family Dinner and Court of Honor, please join us at around 4:00PM, which is when our events will begin.
- Again, more information about addresses, directions, and other details will be given soon.
- We hope to see everyone this weekend!
The Troop will be buying ingredients for dinner, and desserts (Except for the Creme Brulee, which Ishaan will bring).
The Patrols have food assignments for their Saturday breakfast, lunch, and Sunday breakfast, which they will bring. If anyone did not see those, please check with your Patrols chat.
We're planning on attendance of about 65, including Scouts.
Stay tuned for an updated note with directions, a packing list, and permission slip.
If you didn’t receive the invite, and want to be added to our “Leaders” email distribution list, please let us know! There is a Committee Meeting for adult volunteers Thursday. We need your help, and would love you to join us!
And if you haven’t RSVP-ed for the Campout and COH for this weekend, please do so before 8 PM tonight so we can send out our final numbers.
Please respond at the link as soon as possible, and let us know how many people are attending the campout and Court of Honor. We need our numbers for camping and for shopping for food.
Please join us at our first campout at Camp Johnson in Bolton on 9/11/2026 - 9/13!
We will be having families over for dinner on Saturday night followed by our fall Court of Honor where our Scouts will be awarded ranks and merit badges earned since our spring COH. Don't miss this!
Please let us know which days Scouts will be camping, and we still could use another adult leader camping as well. Let us know how many total will be coming for our menu planning.
