We have a lot of updates this week
1) There will be a committee meeting before the troop meeting this week, starting at 6:00pm at Sacred Heart Parish Hall.
2) We will have our regular Troop meeting at 7:00pm, immediately following the committee meeting.
3) Mr. Devine will be teaching the Communication Merit Badge starting this week. We will be alternating every other week between Personal Management and Communication. The Troop calendar will be updated to reflect this schedule.
4) Remember that we will be having our Fall Court of Honor followed by an Eagle Court of Honor on Saturday, November 11th. We need you to let us know this Thursday, how many will be coming from your family.
5) Troop 20 Trebuchet - We had a productive building session this past Saturday and the Troop 20 Trebuchet is well on its way to being ready for the Punkin Chunkin Competition at the Fall Cranboree (Nov 17-19). However, we need some help.
First, we are in dire need of weights to power the machine. Without them, we won't be able to compete! We're looking for steel barbell plates that the Troop can borrow for the competition and we'll return them to you after the event. We need metal plates in weights of; 25lb., 45-50lb, and if you have them, 100lb plates would be great. Please take a look in the basement and let us know what you might have hanging around. We can even arrange to pick them up and return them to you afterwards.
Second, we need pumpkins that weigh no more than 3 to 4 lbs. They don't have to look great but we're going to need a minimum of 6 for the competition and then another 6-10 for testing and tuning the Trebuchet. If folks could try to bring one or two to this weeks Troop meeting, it would be greatly appreciated.
If you can help, please contact Mr. Pierce at: larry@pierce-family.net and please put the word WEIGHT in the subject line of your email.
6) Popcorn:
ONE NIGHT ONLY!!
Thursday, November 2nd is your last chance to support Troop 20 during the 2017 Popcorn Campaign.....bring your checkbooks and/or money to the Troop meeting to purchase popcorn at the last SHOW 'N SELL of the season!
7) Troop 20 Facebook Group - Mr. Devine has created a "Troop 20 Middleboro" Facebook Group so that we have a place to share pictures. We will be putting a link to the group on the blog shortly but in the meantime, you can get to the group by following the link above.
We hope to see everyone at this weeks Troop Meeting!!
