Tuesday's meeting is COH potluck and Feb camping change

Parents and scouts:

I have a few items to pass along for the good of the Troop.

1.     We will have our February PLC meeting this Sunday due to the Super Bowl going on next weekend.  We will be meeting Sunday at 5 PM.  All members of the PLC should be there and ready to discuss the upcoming meeting plans for March.  Please be ready!  

2.     The Troop Meeting next Tuesday will be our Winter Court of Honor. We will recognize all advancement from the last few months while we enjoy a Pot-Luck dinner. Our Opening will be by the Leadership Patrol. We will be starting at 7:00 PM with the Pot-Luck dinner.  All patrols have been given types of dishes to bring.

a.      Patrol assignments are as follows:

                                                    i.     Leadership Patrol – Main Dish and Side Dish  

                                                   ii.     Black Hawks – Main Dish and Dessert

                                                 iii.     Blue Blazes – Main Dish and Side Dish

                                                 iv.     Dragons- Main Dish and Dessert

                                                  v.     Troop will provide drinks and eating utensils.

b.     Please be on time so we can get the dinner completed and have our Court of Honor start promptly after our dinner. If you can be there any early [6:30] please do.  I can use help with setup.

3.     We will also hold our Annual FOS Presentation at the Court of Honor this next week.  This is a fundraising campaign established by our local Council. It is an important part of our Council funding and your participation will help continue the Mission of Scouting within the Simon Kenton Council.

4.     I also have the permission slips attached for the February campout as well as the cost info for the trip.  We have decided to attempt to redo our January campout and go to Manatoc / Brandywine up in Peninsula Ohio for our snow sports outing.  Since we could not go in January due to the weather we will try again.  Those that signed up for the January will still need to redo the permission slip but if they want to do the same activity then no need to pay again; we will use the money you paid in January.  Those 18 that were signed up in January will have the first opportunity to stay in the cabin.  We have 24 spots in the cabin. After the 24 spots we then have tent camping available.  Please note that this cabin is only heated by a wood fire place so plan for cold weather sleeping.

Thank you – and have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Kirk Bohanan
