Troop Meeting - Monday, 11/30 6:00-7:30pm at Reedy's Archery

 Hello Troop 20!

Starting this coming week, we will be holding our regular Troop Meeting on Monday's at Reedy's Archery from 6:00-7:30pm.  We will be meeting in the downstairs range.

Please remember that we line up for our opening ceremony at 6:00pm so plan to be at Reedy's 10 minutes earlier.  Please arrive wearing your Class A uniform.

Reedy's Archery is located at 121 Wood Street, Middleborough.  When you pull into Reedy's, there's a dirt road to the right that will bring you around back.  You can park anywhere along the wood line, away from the building. There's a door under the deck, on the left, that leads inside to the range.  We will try to put out a sign to guide everyone to the right entrance until everyone get's used to the new routine.  Please try to not park directly in front of the barber shop door as we want to make sure we leave room for his paying customers.

Reminder:

Anytime that you need to reach out to an adult leader or volunteer, like Mr. McKinnon, it's OK to do so, but please remember that you need to follow the two deep leadership rules. This applies to all forms of contact.

• For in-person meetings, another adult or parent must be present.
• For email or text, always copy another adult or parent.
• If a phone conversation is required, you need to arrange for a conference call where another adult or parent can hear the conversation.

All of the leaders and volunteers are here to help you achieve your goals in Scouting.  We just need your help to make sure we're all following BSA policies.

We look forward to seeing our Scouts on Thursday!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello Troop 20!

Reminders / Notices:

Possible new Troop Meeting Location:

Reedy's Archery, Middleborough, has offered the use of their facility for us to use for Troop Meetings as the weather gets colder.  They have an indoor basement range with bathroom facilities that we can use.  They also have plenty of outdoor room and a firepit.

In order to use the indoor facility, we would need to move our Troop meetings from Thursday's to either Monday's or Friday's 6:30-8:00PM.  We would like to hear from everyone to gauge interest in one of these days.  We can discuss at the Troop meeting or if you would like, you can email one of the leaders.

Medical Cards:

If you have not already done so, please return your completed medical cards to Mr. Holt at the Troop meeting.

Remind Service - Contact Information Form:

The Troop is thinking about making use of the Remind service as a means to contact Scouts with late breaking or time sensitive information.  In preparation, should we decide to move forward, we are asking that all Scouts please complete a contact information Google form at the link below.

Nick Clayton - Eagle Scout Service Project Saturday, 11/14 at 9:00AM

 

Hello All,

This Saturday, 11/14, Nick Clayton will be working on his Eagle Scout Service Project and he would greatly appreciate any help he can get from our Scouts. The work on Saturday will consist of trail clearing at the Soule Homestead, 46 Soule Street, Middleborough, MA.  We will be meeting in the main parking lot at 9:00AM.

Each Scout is asked to bring the following equipment if you have it available:

• A pair of loppers
• A leaf rake
• Work gloves
• Plenty of bug spray as ticks are still active
• A full water bottle
• A face mask is required to comply with COVID regulations

Please remember to dress appropriately and boots are really a must as we may encounter nails on the ground.  No sneakers please.

Additionally, this is hunting season and even though our Scouts will be safe, as hunting is restricted at Soule Homestead, we recommend wearing high visibility clothing if you have it available.  Think bright colors like red, bright orange, yellow, etc.

Additional water will be available on-site and Nick will plan to have pizza available for lunch around 11:00.

Appropriate first aid supplies will be on-hand if needed.

Nick is looking forward to a fun and productive day!

Thank You!

Troop Meeting - Thursday, 11/5 5:00-6:30 at 29 Eldon Road, Middleboro

 Hello Troop 20!

This week, our Troop meeting will again be held at 29 Eldon Road, in Middleboro. If you weren't able to attend last week, Eldon Road is just off of Rocky Gutter near the Rodeway Inn on Route 28. The house and barn are red and are to the right of the public boat launch area at Tispaquin Pond. We will meet at 5:00pm and will be doing some painting and possibly working on Nick's project.  We will also be working with Scouts on their rank advancements and working with the younger Scouts on their Totin' Chips. Please remember to bring your Scout Handbooks.

Due to the evening's activities, we are asking Scouts to wear Class B's for the evening so that we don't get your Class A's dirty.

____________________________________________________________

Reminder:

The Troop will be participating in a leaf raking fundraiser on Sunday, November 8th at 46 Renwick Drive, Norton, MA.

Scouts need to bring their own rake and a full water bottle.  Work gloves are recommended as well.

This is a great opportunity for those Scouts who show up, to earn money in their Scout accounts as well as earning important community service hours needed for rank advancement.

Thank You!

Medical Cards:

Just a reminder that we are asking all Scouts to please return your completed medical cards to Mr. Holt at the Troop meeting.
