March

 Hi Troop 136!


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

With the nice weather coming this week, it will be nice to get outside.  I hope that you are able to take some time to go outside and get some fresh air this week.  Who knows, maybe the Scouts would like to meet outside if we have nice weather!

This is our last meeting until spring break.  Don't forget the due date this week. We need payment for summer camp at Camp Falling Rock and at least a $50 deposit for Camp Ransburg. 

There will be no Troop meeting during spring break.  Enjoy the time with family.

Mulch Information:
Earn money by helping with mulch!  We are looking a little light on the Scout sign up for helping with mulch.  Please sign up here to help out:

Shane Fuller's Eagle Scout Court of Honor will be April 10:
Shane is looking for help with his Eagle Scout Court of Honor on April 10.  Sign up to help him with his Eagle Scout Court of Honor.  His Court of Honor will be held at Eagle Pavilion at Fryer Park.  It starts at 6 pm, but those helping will need to arrive early to practice their parts.

Big Trip to Washington DC this summer will be June 11-14:
Please take a look at the trip to Washington DC and be sure that I have everything correct:

Here is the sign up for the trip:

Camp Ransburg:
Here is the signup for Camp Ransburg.  You will need to submit the rest of payment by April 12th for the early bird discounted rate of $400.  Here is the website for more information.
The date for the sign up of merit badges will be on April 9th.  I thought I would be able to send this to you last week, but I might send it over spring break.  I know this is when we have the Mulch delivery, but I think the parents can take care of registering the Scout. 

Camp Falling Rock Week #4 July 10-16:
Here is the signup genius for Camp Falling Rock. Camp will cost $300 and is 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.  We normally have 1-2 Scouts attend each year.  The Scout will need to put up a $100 deposit for the course and the Troop will add $100.  The Scout will receive the $100 back when they complete the course and the requirements for their bolo.  

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.
SPL David - maybe this is something that we could do during our Patrol Meetings this week?  Give the Scouts some time to look for some really cool camps near us so that we can go visit this summer.  What do you think?
Here is a map of the camps near us.  You can zoom in and find a location in Ohio or near Ohio.  We can use this to help determine camps that you might want to visit.
