July

 Hi Troop 136!

Meeting on August 2nd:
At the August 2nd meeting, we would not have access to the main room where we normally meet, the FLC.  The PLC is working on a plan.  We may still meet at the building, but it might be a different room or rooms.  They will decide on Sunday afternoon at the PLC Meeting what they want to do.  I will ask the SPL to post in the Band app what they plan to do on Tuesday.

Yearly Planning:
This Sunday, July 31, the PLC will be meeting to discuss the plan for next year.  They need your input.  Use this link to help with the planning for next year:
Even if you are not part of the PLC, you are more than welcome to come to the planning meeting at 3 pm.  You may come and your family may come as well.  I will share the results of the planning meeting once the Committee has approved the plan for the rest of 2022 and for all of 2023.

This was the yearly plan for 2021 and 2022.  Scouts and Adults are welcome to attend and help with the creation of the calendar.

July

 Hi Troop 136!


I hope you are recovering from the two weeks of summer camp this summer.  I was able to take a well deserved afternoon nap on Saturday afternoon and started to unpack.  We had a great time.  I will add photos to the Band app soon.  I am on vacation this week so Ron Newcomb will be the Scoutmaster tonight and Roland Guay will be the Scoutmaster next week on July 26th while I am away attending the National Order of the Arrow Conference in Knoxville Tennessee.  It should be a great time.  I know you will have a great time as well.

Meeting plans:
Opening - Alpha Dogs patrol
Skills Instruction - Explain the safety of the buddy system and buddy checks.
Henry will be presenting about this topic tonight.

The PLC wanted to do something different.  This meeting will be at Deer Creek.  The plan was to go swimming and have a fun dinner with hot dogs and hamburgers.  Sign up here if you are going next week.  Please sign up by Sunday, July 24th to allow time to purchase hot dogs and hamburgers for the event.
We will need a couple of adults to help with watching the Scouts swim.  Use the sign up genius to let us know if you can help with this.  I recommend at least one watching the Scouts swim take the safe swim defense course.  We will not need a lifeguard if we have an adult that has completed the safe swim defense course because it is a state park and the area where we will be swimming has a known depth.

August and September Events:  (I will send a signup genius later today for this event)
Columbus Clippers - August 5th
I sent an email seeking to see if people were interested in a Columbus Clippers overnight.  It seems they have both an overnight option and an option to just attend the game.  The prices are below.  I have included a signup genius.  We will use your Scout account to collect money for the payment.  I will leave the signup genius open until next Tuesday night.  I will close it and purchase the tickets on Wednesday next week.  Please sign up by Tuesday night.
Here is the signup genius for the Clippers game.

The Columbus Clippers welcome the Boy Scouts of America to the award-winning Huntington Park for the 21st Annual Boy Scouts Camporee with the Clippers!

Come out and join the family-fun atmosphere with your pack/troop, families, and friends! Enjoy great seats, a pre-game parade around the warning track, Post-Game movie, Breakfast and a Camporee Patch!!

$23 for Reserved Seats + SLEEPOVER

$17 for Bleacher Seats + SLEEPOVER

$10 for adults, $8 for youth/seniors for Reserved Seats, NO SLEEPOVER

*** If you are camping on the field after the game you must purchase a ticket for the $23 or $17 price


Columbus Crew - August 5th
I will send a signup genius for this event later tonight.  You will need to sign up by next Tuesday, July 26th.  I will make the purchases on Wednesday, July 27th.

SCUBA Diving Introduction:
July had Scuba Diving Introduction and August was a Lake Erie fishing trip.  We discussed these events at the last PLC Meeting and it was decided that since the Lake Erie fishing trip was so expensive that they wanted to have a Scuba Diving Introduction.  I will share more details with the PLC at the PLC Meeting on July 31st about what we can do in August to at least have a Scuba Diving introduction.

Port Clinton Camporee - September 9-11
This is something the PLC wanted to do again this year.  Here is the website: https://pccamporee.com/
Here is the signup genius to sign up for the event.  The cost is $75, but this does not include a round trip ticket to the island on Saturday.  I am not sure how much this will be.  When I find out, I will let you know.
