Meeting, Backpacking, Fleece Sweatshirts, name tags, and future events

Hi Troop 136!
Tuesday 11/17 - Knights of Mandalore Patrol Meeting at the firepit
Be sure to join before 7:00 pm to avoid waiting for us to finish the flag ceremony to allow you to join the group. I will open the Google Meet at about 6:50.  Be sure to join the meeting wearing a Class A uniform. After we complete the meeting, the Alpha Dogs Patrol will meet briefly to vote for their Patrol Leader. Only those in the Patrol will be able to vote. Noah Wright and Shane Fuller are running for Patrol Leader and will have an opportunity to speak if they want before the Patrol votes to determine their next Patrol Leader on Tuesday night.  If they decide to speak, they will have up to two minutes to speak about why they want to be the next Patrol Leader.   

Backpacking trip in November:
Only one more week to get help in preparing for the backpacking trip in November.  Roland Guay will be at the church on Tuesday night at 6:30 to check your gear.  Plan to bring what you are thinking about wearing and hiking with this weekend. Roland wants to see what gear you might need in preparation for the trip.  He can give you feedback about what you should or should not have for the trip.    Lots of good information shared and great questions!  The weather for this weekend is amazing!!!!

Zaleski Backpacking trip 11/20-22:
We will meet at the church on November 20th at 5:30 and leave at 6:00 PM.  We will travel to the campground and families can drop off their Scouts.  I have included a link for both the approximate drop off location and pickup location on Sunday at about 11:00 AM.  I will be using the 270 to 33 to 56 to 278 route to and from the location.

Fleece Sweatshirts and name tags:
I will be sending out a separate email with a sign up for your fleece sweatshirts and name tags.  The fleece sweatshirts will be partially paid for by the troop and the name tags will be paid for by the troop.  Two name tags will be provided to each Scout. One will be for their shirt and the other will be for their fleece jacket.  The decision was made by the committee to have the name tag on the fleece sweatshirts just like the uniform.
