Committee Meeting / Troop Meeting this Thursday, March 14th, at Sacred Heart Parish Hall - 6:15pm Committee / 6:30pm Troop

Hello Troop 20!

There will be a committee meeting this Thursday at 6:15pm at Sacred Heart Parish Hall.

We would like Scouts to arrive at 6:30 to help setup for Webelos Night and immediately following, we will have our regular weekly Troop Meeting from 7:00 - 8:30pm.  Please remember that we line up for our opening ceremony at 7:00PM so you need to plan to be at the hall about 10 minutes earlier, in Class A uniform.

Webelos Night - The Troop will be hosting Webelos Scouts on Thursday March 14th.  We will have stations setup in the church hall, that will be manned by our Boy Scouts, where we can teach Scouting skills to the Webelos and give them a view into what we do as Boy Scouts in Troop 20. Mr. Goodrich is coordinating this event.  The stations we will be running are:

• Knot Tying
• Camping & Campsite Setup
• Cooking
• First Aid
• Maps and Compass
• Presentation about Troop 20

Troop Planning & Events:- Nantucket Island - We are still tentatively planning a camping/bike trip to Nantucket Island for June 21-23.  The dates are tentative because we are still confirming that we can get campsite and ferry reservations.  We hope to have updates very soon, once we can confirm with Camp Richard.

For any Scouts that have never been to Nantucket with the Troop, this is a great trip that everyone always enjoys.  We head over on a Friday morning and we bring over the Scouts bikes and camping gear.  We spend two nights at BSA Camp Richard and bike around the island, checking out the sights.

We will have more information for everyone as we firm up dates.

- Nantucket Island Shakedown Rides - We will be planning 2 shakedown rides at the Cape Code Canal, prior to the Nantucket Trip, to make sure that all of our Scouts and their bikes are ready to do a lot of riding on Nantucket.
