All,
Thank you for participating in last Thursday's Pow-wow. The input & feedback was very much appreciated and we will continue to move forward, striving to provide the best possible program for our sons!
Yesterday (Sat. Jan 16, 2010) we had approx. 7 or 8 Scouts take advantage of several Eagle Required Merit Badge opportunities presented by Mr. Mele (Personal Management), Mr. Stillwell (Family Life), & Mr. Barber (Communication). This opportunity will present itself again in the future & I urge Scouts to consider participation.
Several additional follow up items:
Order of the Arrow: Harry B., Michael F., & Patrick M. have an opportunity to include their names in an upcoming O/A Election. These Scouts meet the eligibility requirements. Please consider this opportunity to join what is commonly referred to as the Honor Society of Scouting. If you are interested, please discuss with our O/A Representative (Gavin L.) or myself.
Fundraiser Reward Trip: As discussed, the following 16 Scouts achieved the $500 goal between last Spring's Pizza sales & this Fall's Wreath sales and have an opportunity to participate in a reward trip (yet to be determined): Nick B., Harry B., Chris B., Alec C., Bryan C., Jeffrey D., Connor D., Tyler F., Michael F., Matthew H., Matthew M., Anthony M., Joe R., Jacob, S., Rob S., & Dustin W.
I strongly recommend that you 16 Scouts get together (soon) to determine a Reward trip - so that plans can be arranged.
Ice Fishing at Resica Falls (Saturday Feb. 13, 2010) - Scouts/parents wanting to participate in this day trip activity should have already contacted Connor Dougherty. Cost is $10 per person.
Thursday Jan 21, 2010 Troop Meeting - Webelos II Visitation. All Scouts should arrive by 6:45PM (latest) for set up. I'm aware of six Webelos II Scouts from Pack #59, I do not have numbers from Pack #554. Patrols will be running the activities & I urge everyone (Scouts & adults) to make sure that all visitors are welcomed. Mrs. Hoagland is picking up refreshments.
Thursday Jan 28, 2010 Troop Meeting - PLC to provide update on evening's activities. Patrols should meet to discuss/determine Patrol Leader candidates (2 per Patrol) for the upcoming election. Elder Scouts that previously served in Patrol Leader positions may want to consider Assistant Senior Patrol Leader Position. Our current SPL will choose one of two open ASPL positions, with the 2nd position being elected by fellow Scouts.
