Troop:
Items for this upcoming week to note. Please read below.
1. Our
Troop Patrol Leader Council [PLC] will have its Fall Elections on this Tuesday
night, 11/6 at our regular troop meeting. All scouts are encouraged to be
there and participate in this activity. Scouts that are first class and
above are asked to consider running for positions of responsibility of Patrol
Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, or Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. Second class
scouts may run for Assistant Patrol Leaders. Other positions will be available
that are not elected positions but appointed ones. This includes Scribe,
Quartermaster, Librarian, Webmaster, Historian, OA Representative and Chaplains
Aid. Remember your troop needs you to be there to leader it along. It is
a boy lead organization and what you put into this is important in it success.
2. We
have our backpack trip coming up this next weekend –
11/9-11/11. All those wanting to go need to have their permission
slip into the troop by 11/6. You need to plan for your own food and
cooking on this outing. As for tents, you can use your own or
barrow one of the troop tents. ANY gear that you need from the troop must
be made know on Tuesday so we can get it ready. [this includes tents,
tarps, backpacks, cooking equipment, etc.]
3. For
those going on the backpack trip, we will have a short shake down hike.
You are encouraged to bring your pack with all necessary gear [no food] to
confirm you are ready. It will just be a ½ - ¾ mile trek
around the local church area to see how your back feels and if you have any
issues with your gear. This is a great opportunity to check out and make
sure your prepared. DON’T forget to WEAR A BELT ON this OUTING, it will
keep your pants from falling down while you hike! Believe me – it’s an
issue and you need a belt.
4. There
will be an announcement regarding the upcoming change in the scoutmaster
position. Please plan to be present.
That is all for now – see you tomorrow night.
Sincerely,
Kirk Bohanan
Scoutmaster Troop 136
