We will be having our regular Troop Meeting this Thursday, May 30th, 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:
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. Work will start at 9:00AM inside Battis Field. Mark asks Scouts and Volunteers to show up a couple of minutes early if they can. A light breakfast of coffee and donuts will be available, along with pizza for lunch. Scouts and Volunteers should bring the following:
- Sunscreen
- Bug spray
- Work gloves
- Work clothes that you don't mind getting dirty or getting paint on
- Eye protection.
For those not familiar with Battis field, please refer to the attached map, following the arrows to where the shed is located.
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.
- 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!
