Scout Sunday / Pancake Breakfast

To celebrate the start of Scout Week, Troop 20 will be hosting a pancake breakfast at the Parish Hall beginning at 7am this Sunday the 3rd.  All Middleborough Boy and Cub Scouts and their families have been invited, including yours.  We'll need some pancake and sausage chefs as well as servers so please make all efforts to be there.  I think a cooking requirement may be fulfilled if you cook some pancakes for our guests.....

Scout Sunday service follows the breakfast at Sacred Heart.  We will be attending the 9:30 service as a group.  Be sure to have your class A on.  It should have been freshly cleaned and pressed for our Red and Green anyway, so put a bib on when you eat on Thursday :)

Calling all Photographers

Any photos from the last number of troop events or meetings?  Please email them to Mr B.  We'd like enough to make a slideshow presentation for the Red and Green.

Freezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing at Norse

True to Viking traditions, Camp Norse will will have really cold, wintry weather for us this weekend.

Be Prepared. Pack appropriately.  Even though we have a cabin, you will only be in it at night. You will be out in the weather most of the day on Saturday participating in the Klondike games.  Mr Brown will send you home if you are not dressed for the weather.

Forecast is for low 20's during the day and low teens at night.  Possible snow Friday overnight.

BTW   Let's thank Mrs. Franey for accepting the role of our new Troop Blogger
Huzzah!

Troop meeting tonight

Last call before our Red and Green to get your Merit Badges / Rank Advancements.
Bring in your Blue Cards and Scout Manual tonight so that Mrs. Melchin can record your info.

Bring some skit ideas with you to practice for the Red and Green.

Red and Green Banquet

Thursday January 31st  Scouts arrive at the Parish Hall at 6:30pm to help set up the hall. 
The event will commence at 7pm.
Encourage your Parents, Grandparents and siblings to attend.
This will be a potluck dinner.  Do we need a theme?   I like Mexican.

Do I need to tell you cleaned/pressed Class A's including sashes?

GOLD - the color of the day

At last night's troop meeting we confirmed with Mr Howard, or Annawon Council Representative,  that Troop 20 IS a quality Boy Scout organization by earning our gold ranking within the Scout Journey to Excellence program.

Congratulations ALL.
