Hi Troop 136!
Reminder: Bring your fishing poles tonight!
We will be completing a game using the fishing poles.
Popcorn Information:
Hello Troop 136 (and parents)! I will be your Popcorn Kernel this year, and am excited to help lead this important fundraising effort. As you might know, the Scouts BSA popcorn sale is one of our biggest annual fundraisers, and money that you help raise will be credited to your Scout account (which can be used to offset dues, camping fees, uniform costs, and certain other Scout-related purchases).We strongly encourage all of our Scouts to participate in the sale — not only to reduce your out-of-pocket costs for Scouting, but also because your participation builds experience with presenting, selling, and achieving goals. The sale will kick off in earnest early next month, and you’ll be receiving more information from me soon…as well as will have a chance to sample some of goodies we’ll be asking you to sell.
If you’d like to get a jump on selling, online sales are ALREADY UNDERWAY! You can participate in the online sale simply be providing a customized link to interested buyers — no door-to-door sales are necessary. Your buyers will have access to an expanded selection of products which will be shipped to them at no extra cost. You also have an extended window in which to sell products online — from now all the way till December 3! Interested? Please reach out to me via email (troop136.popcorn@icloud.com) to obtain your customized selling link.
I am also seeking parental volunteers to assist with the popcorn sale. I am specifically seeking someone who can help seek out and schedule in-person sales events outside of local businesses, etc. If you are able to assist, please reach out to me via email at troop136.popcorn@icloud.com.
Thanks for your help in making this year’s sale the most successful ever!
Troop Meetings:
Troop
Meetings continue to meet for the rest of the summer on Tuesday nights
beginning at 7:00 pm. If you need to meet with me to discuss any
advancements from either summer camp, please send me an email. I will be reviewing and updating the Scoutbook website.
Scoutbook:
If
you do not have access to Scoutbook, please let me know. I can set you
up in Scoutbook so that you have access to see your son's progress in
his merit badges and rank requirements.
8/22 Eagle Scout Court of Honor - Caleb Caldwell
Caleb has invited the Troop to his Eagle Scout Court of Honor on August 22. If you would like to help, here is a sign up for Scouts to help. Sign up for your rank.
Yearly Plan:
I
had a discussion with a Scout at summer camp that said his parents did
not know the plan for the campouts. Here is the current Yearly Plan for
2020-2021:
I will be sharing our 2021-2022 schedule in late August or September. I believe planning is the key to success. Make a plan and make it happen!
New Scout Campout:
For
the newer Scouts, we need to have a weekend campout since a lot of you
did not attend summer camp. I know you got the information really late
so we want to be sure that you had an opportunity to learn some
basic skills and work toward rank advancement. Please check your
calendars and let me know if one of these dates works for you: 9/24-9/26
or 10/29-10/31. I will follow up with an email specifically to you. Please let me know by Tuesday, August 10. We want to be sure that you are advancing and having fun.
