We had a productive Troop meeting tonight and spent some more time working on our Patrol boxes for our campouts.

This weekend is our Troop campout to Goodwin State Forest in Hampton  CT with a day trip to go hiking in Purgatory Chasm in Sutton MA  (a Troop favorite).

Hope you can join us!    See the emails for more details.

Next week our Fall Court of Honor will be upstairs in the Avery Street Church a half hour later at 7:30 PM to 08:45 PM.    Full class A uniforms, families are invited, and if your last name begins with A-M, please bring a finger food snack to share, and if your last name is N-Z, please bring a drink to share (2 liter max).   

Then next Thursday we have a Troop Committee meeting.

Stay tuned for a signup for both our October and November (Troop Challenge)  campouts.    We need both Scouts and Adults to signup.

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.

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!

Our first Troop meeting is next Wednesday, 9/4,  from 07:00 PM to 08:15 at the Avery Street Church.

We've got a lot planned and a short time, so please try to be on time or a few minutes early, with your Class A uniform.

Don't forget to bring back any Troop gear.

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.
