September

Hi Troop 136!

We have a Court of Honor tonight!  Parents are encouraged to come and stay for this event.

PeterLoon Permission Forms, medical forms and Youth Protection Forms:
Hi!  I need the permission forms from everyone and I also need a medical form if you have not provided one yet. This is for adults and Scouts.
I also need a copy of the Youth Protection Forms from the adults.  I have most, but will send you a note if I need for you to complete the Youth Protection Training before this weekend.

Creek Sweep October 8th:
Saturday, October 8th will be our annual Creek Sweep.  Please wear old clothes and bring gloves.  You will more than likely get wet and dirty, but you will have fun as we walk the creeks and pick up trash.  You will receive an annual patch for this event.

Three Eagles Shootout October 9th:
Here is the sign up genius.  The cost is $10.
Do you want to camp on Saturday night?  Let the PLC know.  They will make the decision at the PLC Meeting on Sunday.

October 14-16 Campout
We don't have much time to plan this event, so bring your ideas to the PLC meeting or let your Patrol Leader know what you want to do.   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.

August

 Hi Troop 136!


We have a Troop meeting tomorrow night!  I see on the Band app one of the games is to pitch a tent.  Bring your tent tomorrow night.

Put-In-Bay Trip - 
Since the Camporee was cancelled and I suggested the PLC get some ideas together, but since I did not see much on the Band app for the PLC, I thought I would see if we were to continue to go to the Put-In-Bay area and just do our own trip.  We have four adults and there are 12 Scouts.  We will have room for four people in each vehicle.  We will camp nearby the Miller Ferry and travel to the island and do the adventures we have done in the past, but on our own as a Troop.  We will rent a golf cart and visit the attractions.  We will need to pack lunch for Saturday or plan to eat on the island.  I think I will let the Troop decide what they want to do at the beginning of the meeting tomorrow night.  If they want to continue with this idea, we will use this permission form for those in attendance.  We might be able to do the trip for less than $75.  That will depend on where we camp and the cost of the golf carts.

Court of Honor:  We will not be able to access the building on September 20th. Our Court of Honor will be on September 27th. The PLC has requested access to the parking lot area.  I will find out if we can use the firepit area.  I will also challenge the PLC to think about visiting a location other than the church since we have the ability to do so.  Think about where you would like to go as a Troop.  We will talk tomorrow night to see if there is an interest in going to another location for this night for a meeting.

Arts in the Alley parade September 17th:
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 8th:
This date was changed.  I had it wrong on my calendar.  This is the same date for the Three Eagles Shootout.  
I will see if we have Scouts interested in the Three Eagles Shootout or the Creek Sweep.  We cannot do both.

October 14-16 Campout
Since the Creek Sweep has been moved to the 8th, we will have time to do this weekend.  What does the Troop want to do?  We have some time to plan this, so bring your ideas.  This campout will be at First Baptist on Orders Road in Grove City.
