March

 Hi Troop 136!


Our monthly theme for meetings is Caving.  Here is the meeting plan for this week:  3/8/22

I have my meeting with Apple again so I will join the meeting once it is done. Roland will be the Scoutmaster for tonight's meeting.

Big Trip to Washington DC this summer will be June 11-14:
Below is the spreadsheet of people going so far.  Please let us know soon if you are planning to go as well as your parents and family members.  I have made the reservations for the camping at Antietam, Maryland and at Greenbelt Campground in Washington DC.  I have placed the names based on what I think will be happening based on the conversations with the families, but I want to be sure this is correct.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

The spreadsheet lists the number of people participating. In the second tab, it lists the number of vehicles and those in the vehicles.  If you know that you are going as a family, please include that in the spreadsheet.  This will also help with the planning of the meals for the trip.  If you do not want to participate in the meals, that is not a problem.  I just need to know how many for the meals so that we can plan accordingly.

Washington DC Itinerary Updated:
Saturday June 11 - Travel to Antietam, lunch on your own and visit the battlefield.  Travel to the campsite and camp nearby that night
Sunday June 12 - Travel to Washington DC and visit sites.  Lunch will be on your own and dinner will be at the campground.
Monday June 13 - visit Washington DC sites
Tuesday June 14 - pack up and visit Arlington Cemetery since this is Flag Day.  I thought it would be appropriate to visit this morning because there would not be a lot of visitors and because of the significance of the day.  You would leave when you wanted after the visit to Arlington Cemetery to travel back home.

Here is the sign up for the trip:

I think we could make the trip happen with about $70 per person with some food on your own during the trip.

Camp Ransburg:
If you still want to go, it is not too late to join us.  Let me know as soon as you can so that I can register you.  You will have access to the link to register for your summer merit badges.  We currently have 14 Scouts and several adults.  I will need to know about mid-March the number of adults that want to attend summer camp.  Your registration will be paid for by the Troop.  We appreciate you taking the time to be with us and help us with some coverage during the week of summer camp.

Camp Falling Rock Week #4 July 10-16:
Here is the signup genius for Camp Falling Rock.  I am not sure on the details yet, but it looks like the cost of the camp will be $300 and due by March 22nd.

NYLT:
Are you a First Class Scout who is interested in taking a leadership course to improve your ability to lead others?
Here is the website to learn more information: NYLT Courses
Let me know if you are interested.

Summer Camp 2023:
Use this link to give suggestions for us to research for our March and April PLC Meetings.  We will make plans to visit a couple of camps this summer to see if this might be something that we want to do next summer.
