Hi Troop 136!
Our monthly theme for meetings is Financial Management. Here is the meeting plan for this week, 4/5/22:
These events that are coming up soon that need your attention:
1. Mulch Delivery:
This is a message from Jeff Colborn:
"Group,
We have had record mulch sales this year, over 4500 bags!
The good news is we will not have to worry about getting sunburned this weekend. The bad news is the weather does not look that great for this weekend. We will be spreading and delivering mulch rain or shine. Please dress appropriately as it looks like it will be cool. Remember to wear old clothes, boots, hats, and gloves.
I will be working all day on Friday. Please come as early as you can. If you think you can arrive before 4:00 please let me know."
All family members are welcome to join in the fun as we help make yards look amazing!
2. Shane's Eagle Scout Court of Honor:
It looks like we have enough people to help with the lighting of the candles. If you are planning to attend, please let the family know by RSVP using the link below. They have asked that you let them know by Tuesday if you plan to attend. I know it also says March 27th, but they extended this for the Troop. If you have a younger Scout that is looking to become an Eagle Scout in the future, this is a great way to get some ideas. Please sign up if you plan to go using this link:
3. 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:
We will travel down on Saturday and visit Antietam together. We will stay in a group camp site on Saturday and then travel to Washington DC on Sunday. Once we leave on Sunday morning, you may go visit sites as a family and we will plan to meet at the campsite for dinner that night. We will stay at the Greenbelt Campground on Monday and Tuesday nights. Monday after breakfast you may visit the sites that you want to do as a family. We will get together for dinner. We will eat breakfast and pack up the trailer and visit Arlington Cemetery on Tuesday before we head back home. Once we are done at Arlington, you may travel back on your own.
Here is the sign up for the trip:

5. 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.
6. 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.
