Please remember this family in your thoughts and prayers

Mount Oval:
We had a great trip to Mount Oval this past weekend.
It was raining, but that did not dampen our spirits. We were able to learn how
to cook using the patrol method and several scouts learned how to prepare food
and storage of food. The scouts received a tour of the building built in
1832. They met and played games in a barn from 1835. It was a great
weekend camping trip!
Service Project:
I was asked by Kirk Bohanan if we could have the scouts
create a lighted nativity scene for the First Presbyterian Church. We met
this past week and came up with plans and a timeline for the nativity
scene. We would meet on three separate occasions to complete the nativity
scene:
October 29th (5 - 7 pm) We will meet to cut out the design and sand the design using power tools, if we have time we will paint the cutout nativity scene
November 5th (6 - 7 pm) We will meet to paint one side of the nativity scene
November 12th (6 - 7 pm) We will meet to paint the other side of the nativity scene
The display will be setup at some point determined by the church. I will share with you the details of the event when I find out.

From our Popcorn Kerkel:
Popcorn Kernel Mr. Asendorf asks all scouts to start turning
in any unsold popcorn Tuesday, Oct. 27th and to bring their sales sheets so
that he can start getting scouts marked down for their sales. The last day of
popcorn sales is Nov. 2 and all orders must be turned into Mr. Asendorf by Nov.
3. If you have question, please feel free to contact him personally at jasendorf@gmail.com or
by text at 614-746-3746. He would like to not have a repeat of last year
where we turned in a significant amount of unsold popcorn at the last minute.
PLC Meeting:
PLC Meeting next Sunday at 4:30 pm!
Nominations for Senior Patrol Leader:
Last week I shared some items that you might want to
review. Talk with fellow scouts and see if they are interested in running
for SPL. We will take nominations for SPL this week and vote next
week. We will then take nominations on 11/5 and vote for the Patrol
Leaders on 11/12.
Backpacking at Zaleski November 8 to November 10:
We are traveling to Zaleski next month for the backpacking
trip. This is a great event for first time scouts backpacking and for
older scouts who have been backpacking. Roland Guay and I will share how
we pack with the troop on 10/29 and the scouts will be bringing their camping
gear for a short hike on 11/5.
What if your scout does not have a backpack? We have
several of them that have been donated by previous scouts. We will get
these backpacks out and allow the scouts to try them on before the meeting on
10/29 and again after the meeting on 10/29. The scout will take the
backpack they are borrowing with them and bring it back the next week loaded
for the campout on 11/5 for the walk around the city to find out if there are
any issues with how they packed their gear. It is a great way to find out
if there are issues before we get on the trail. The backpacks will be
available for you to borrow on a first-come, first-serve basis. If your
scout wants to borrow one for this event, show up early on 10/29.
We will leave the church on Friday, November 8 at 5:30 and
be back around noon to 1 pm on Sunday.

Scoutmaster, Troop 136 in Grove City, OH
With three green bars
behind the Scout emblem, the senior patrol leader’s shoulder patch symbolizes
one of the oldest leadership positions in Scouting. The Boy Scouts of America
has long recognized the senior patrol leader as the highest youth leadership
position in a troop. They are the primary link between a troop’s Scouts and its
adult leaders. They shoulder the responsibility for leading meetings of the
troop and the
