We will be having our regular Troop Meeting this Thursday, May 9th, at 7:00pm. Sacred Heart Parish Hall. Please remember that we line up for our opening ceremony at 7:00PM so you need to plan to be at the hall 10-15 minutes earlier, in Class A uniform.
Eagle Projects:
Joshua Savard - Josh will be working on his Eagle Service project this Saturday, May 25th, at Pratt Farm in Middleborough starting at 9:00AM. If you would like to help out Josh, I know he can use the help and you'll earn some valuable service hours. If you will be attending, please bring with you; Water, Bug Spray, Sunblock if needed. As we will be working in the woods, you should wear work boots and long pants and bring safety glasses and work gloves as Josh has a limited supply available. Lunch will be provided.
Mark Swindle - Mark will be starting his Eagle project on Saturday, June 1st. He will be refurbishing a storage shed for the Middleborough Park Department at Battis Field in Middleborough. Start time is planned to be 9:00AM and will end in the early afternoon. A breakfast snack and lunch will be provided. Rain date will be June 8th. Volunteers are requested to please bring work gloves, hammers, and eye protection.
Troop Planning & Events:
- Care package for Mr. Devine - As you all know, one of our Assistant Scoutmasters, Bart Devine, is currently deployed overseas with the US Army, serving our country. We will be sending him one last care package in the next few weeks so if you would like to donate to that cause, please bring in any items this week or next. Items that would be great to have:
- Wet Wipes
- Unsalted Almonds
- Precooked bacon
- Cliff Bars - White chocolate Macadamia is a favorite but I'm sure he would enjoy other flavors as well
- Campout at Camp Shawme-Crowell - We will be having another campout June 21-June 23 at Shawme-Crowell State Forest, located in Sandwich MA. Details are being firmed up and we will let everyone know as soon as we have more information to pass along but make sure you get these dates on your calendar. It should be a really fun time with over 15 miles of roads and trails, there should be lots of opportunities for bike rides, hikes, etc. Please put your name on the sign-up sheet at this week's Troop Meeting.
- Uniform Inspection - This Thursday will be a uniform inspection. Please wear your full class A uniform. We do this every year to make sure our Scouts are keeping up-to-date with their uniforms and that they are looking their best to represent Troop 20 and the BSA
- Memorial Day Parade - Troop 20 will be participating in the Memorial Day Parade. We will line up at the town hall at 9:30AM in full class A uniform.
- Medical Forms - We need updated medical forms for all of our Scouts
- Summer Camp - This year's summer camp will be the week of July 21st. We anticipate the cost to be around $400 - $425 for the week. This year, we will be camping along with Troop 96. IMPORTANT: This is the last week to decide if you are going and if you are, a $50 non-refundable deposit is due ASAP for all Scouts that plan to attend....and we hope ALL of our Scouts will be attending......75% will need to be paid by 5/31. If you have questions, please see one of the leaders at this week's Troop Meeting.
Summer Camp is always a great time but Scouts seem to be losing interest in attending. We'd really like to hear from you as to why you don't want to attend so please let us know so that we can make this a great time for all of our Scouts.
We look forward to seeing our Scouts this Thursday!
