We hope that all of our Scouts and their families are doing well and adjusting to being out of school for an extended period.
In accordance with Governor Charlie Baker's announcement, schools are closed in Middleborough for at least the next 3 weeks. It is Troop 20 & 96's policy that when school has been cancelled, we will not hold Troop meetings either. In addition, the BSA has issued guidance suspending all Unit Meetings in an effort to comply with the social distancing requirement while the country tries to get a handle on the spread of COVID-19.
We don't know how long this will continue but we will try to get information out to everyone, via the Troop Blog, as it comes to us. In the near term, our camping trip on the 28th will have to be re-scheduled and we will have to see what impact there may be to the Herring Run Festival in a few weeks. Beyond that, we really don't know yet.
It is always disappointing to the leadership, as we know it is to our Scouts, when we have to postpone or cancel events that everyone has been looking forward to. We assure you that we are eager to get our Scouting program back into full swing and to be able to provide all of you the Scouting experience you deserve. We simply want to do so in a manner that keeps our Scouts, Scouting Families, and our Community safe.
So, over the next few weeks, please stay on top of any school work you may have, take advantage of the time to work on requirements for merit badges that you're working on, and above all, stay safe.
We hope to see everyone back at our Troop events and having fun very soon. Keep an eye on the blog and be well.
Yours in Scouting,
The leadership of Troops 20 & 96
