Hi Troop 136!
We have a Troop meeting tonight! It will be focused on advancement so bring your books so we can update Scoutbook. You will also be able to meet with leaders individually to get some advancement signed off in preparation for the Court of Honor this month. The PLC will begin meeting at 6:30 in the FLC and will plan the meetings for September and October. The PLC had a meeting scheduled on Sunday, but with a lot of activities, only two Scouts were able to make it. So the decision was made to include some time at the meeting tonight to plan and also allow Scouts to update their Scout Books and work on advancements they want to be as part of the September Court of Honor.
Court of Honor: We will not be able to access the building on September 20th. Our Court of Honor will be on September 27th.
September 9-11 Port Clinton campout:
Here is the permission form for the campout. We will plan to meet at the church at 4:30 pm and plan to leave at 5:00 pm. I know this may mean that some Scouts may need to have things packed before they go to school on the 9th, but this will allow us three hours to travel to Port Clinton in traffic during rush hour and I hope we can get there with at least a little bit of daylight to set up tents.
Arts in the Alley parade:
We will have the opportunity to earn service hours by carrying the flag for the beginning of the parade on September 17th. Plan to be at the CVS at the corner of US Highway 62 and Southwest BLVD at 8:30. The parade begins at 9:30 and we are normally done by about 10:00 am. You can meet your Scout at Park Street Intermediate at 10:00 am.
Creek Sweep October 15th:
There were a few changes that happened at the Troop Committee meeting. It was decided that the Troop wanted to help with the city planned event for the Creek Sweep. This is a combination event for both the city and Troops and allows Scout to earn the three hours of Conservation most of them need for advancement. I will send out a signup later for the Creek Sweep.
Creek Sweep: October 15th at 8:00-12:00
We will be having a campout that weekend to help the Scouts earn camping nights. This will be planned for both Friday, October 14th and Saturday, October 15th. The morning will be helping with the Creek Sweep and the afternoon will be focused on advancement activities that will be planned by the PLC. A merit badge or other activity that needs more time to complete could be done this afternoon into the evening. This is also the same weekend the Pack will be camping. This campout will be at First Baptist on Orders Road in Grove City.
Camp Oyo Backpacking Trip 11/11-13:
This event will still happen, but a little later than originally planned because of the Creek Sweep. Here is the signup! Sign up by October 4th:
We will stay in the cabin on Friday night. We will backpack beginning on Saturday morning and camp Saturday night. I know this is a change, but this later trip in November will be a fun one that you will enjoy in the cooler weather. I will share the signup and permission slip later.
