Committee Meeting / Troop Meeting this Thursday, May 3rd, at Sacred Heart Parish Hall - 6:00pm Committee / 7:00pm Troop

Hello Troop 20!

Happy May Everyone!  Here are this weeks announcements:

1) The Troop 20 Light Fighters had an amazing time at West Point this past weekend.  The cadets did a fantastic job putting on this years Scoutmaster's Council and all 7000+ Scouts and Adults had a great weekend.  We've been posting pictures to our Troop 20 Facebook Page so stop by and check them out.
As a reminder to the Scouts who participated, those of you who took tents home should be making sure you set them up at home to dry them out.  The weather the next few days will be perfect for that.  Please dry them, sweep them out, and return them to the Troop at this Thursday's meeting.

2) At this week's Troop meeting, Scouts working on the Personal Management and Communications Merit Badges should check in with Mrs. Swindle and Mr. Devine, respectively, to show them any progress you've made on the requirements.

3) In regards to earning merit badges, we would like to remind all Scouts that while you do not have to be part of a group of Scouts working on a particular merit badge, in order to receive credit for the badge requirements, you must work with an approved Merit Badge Counselor to monitor and approve your progress.  An approved Merit Badge Counselor must have completed an Adult Application, taken the BSA Youth Protection Training, and have a completed Merit Badge Counselor application on file with Troop 20 or provide proof that they are approved as a counselor through a BSA Council.

4) Scrap Metal Drive - This Saturday, May 5th, Troop 20 will be holding a scrap metal drive to raise funds for Troop events.  We need several Scouts to assist with this event.  Scouts should plan to meet at the Parish Hall at 8:00am on Saturday.  We also need Scouts to bring  in addresses of anyone that has scrap metal to donate so that we can create a pickup plan.  Scouts should bring addresses to this Thursday's meeting and make sure the donor knows that pickup will be this Saturday.

That's all for now.  We hope to see everyone this Thursday.  Have a great week!
