Troop Announcements - MassJam and BSA Youth Protection Training

Hello Troop 20!

We have a couple of brief announcements for everyone to be aware of.

MassJam 2018

• MassJam is coming up quick!  It will be held Columbus Day weekend, October 6 - 8, at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds.
• We need a headcount now, for everyone planning to attend.  If you plan to attend MassJam, and everyone should try to go, we need you to please RSVP to Mrs. Swindle no later than Tuesday, 9/11 via email or phone.  For your convenience:
• Email:  sherriswindle@verizon.net
• Phone:  1-508-930-4889

• IMPORTANT:  If you RSVP that you will attend, you are responsible for the minimum $35 entrance fee, even if you later decide to not go.  No exceptions.  This is because the Troop must pay the entrance fees ahead of time and MassJam will not be issuing any refunds.  So, please check your calendars and make sure you are available to attend that weekend.

Adult Youth Protection Training

• Earlier this year, the BSA rolled out the next generation of their Youth Protection Training program.  As a result, if you have not taken YPT since February 1st, you must retake the course.
• All adult leaders are required to re-take the YPT program online, by 10/1/18.

Remember, our first Troop meeting will be Thursday, September 20th.  We look forward to seeing all of our Scouts and their families again after the long summer break!
