We hope all of our Scouts who attended summer camp this year had a great time! Remember to check out pictures from this year's camp on our Troop 20 Facebook page.
With summer camp behind us, it's time to turn our attention to the new Scouting year coming fast, so we have a few announcements to share with everyone.
1) Parents/Planning Meeting - We are having a meeting this Saturday, August 18, at 2:00pm at Sacred Heart Parish Hall. The purpose of the meeting is to plan this years major events for the Troop. We strongly encourage all Scouts and Parents to attend if you are available so that you may participate in planning a great Scouting year for Troop 20!
2) MassJam 2018 - On Columbus Day weekend (Oct 6-8), thousands of Scouts (Including Troop 20!), Webelos, and Venturers from Massachusetts and surrounding states will gather at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds for 3 days of fun, exhibits, challenging activities, competitions, entertainment, and fellowship. For those Scouts who have never attended a National Jamboree, this is a mini-Jamboree right here on the Cape. We hope everyone will be attending!
More details will follow in the coming weeks as they come into the Troop.
3) Public Service Announcement to help one of our Scouts.
Troop 20...….sadly, we need everyone to spread the word and keep a diligent eye out for us. After working at Camp Squanto all summer, Alex Cassady’s car was broken into and amongst the many items that were taken were a clothes basket with ALL OF HIS UNIFORMS.
The Cassady's are asking everyone to be on the look out for:
- Venture Shirts with 2017 Jambo patches and Naragansett CSP - crew 5252
- Scout Shirts with 2013 Jambo patches and Anawon CSP - troop 106
- A Scout shirt with the Tulpe anniversary patch and NYLT CSP - troop 20
- A Scout shirt with Tulpe 245 James Bond flap and Anawon CSP
- A Brother Hood sash with NOAC 2015 badge
All of the shirts have the Rank Badge and position patches affixed with Police issue Black Velcro. His ipad, and street clothes and TV can be replaced but his eagle and Jambo uniforms cannot.
If you see or hear of anyone trying to sell or trade these uniforms (and a dozen class B’s from troops that attended Squanto over the last 5 yrs - including Frisco TX) please contact Mr. Cassady or a leader from the Troop to help Alex get them back.
