Hello Troop 20!
A few announcements for this week:
1) This Thursday, January 11, there will be a Committee Meeting at 6:00pm in the Sacred Heart Parish Hall.
2) Also at 6:00pm, there will be a PLC Meeting. All ASPL's, Patrol Leaders, and Scribe should be present.
3) Next week's Troop Meeting will either be at Central Congregational Church or will be an offsite. Details will be finalized this week and posted to the blog in time for everyone to be prepared.
4) This Thursday, Mr. Devine will be continuing with the Communications Merit Badge. All Scouts participating in this class should come prepared with any material you have completed. Please remember, it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that the required work is being completed in a timely manner. If you do not do the work, you will not receive the merit badge and the class will have been an opportunity lost. Communications is an Eagle required badge so you need to get it done.
5) For everyone going on the ski trip next weekend, please remember that payment and forms are due this Thursday. Refer to the blog post earlier this week for information about the trip, prices, and forms.
6) Lastly, at our last Troop Meeting, Mr. Swindle mentioned a slight modification to the Scout Law for Troop 20. We have added Responsible to the law so going forward, when Troop 20 recites the law, it will be:
