April

 Hi Troop 136!

  
Mulch:
Mulch signups were shared last week during the meeting.  Please see Mr. Jeff about the signups.  We will need a lot of Scout and family help the weekend of April 21.  If you have a truck and trailer or the ability to pull a trailer, we could use your help

Summer Camp Costs:
With the Troop paying for the Camp Falling Rock with some of the Scouts not having money in their accounts, we will need to do something different for Ransburg.  The committee met on Sunday night and they have asked that you pay for 1/2 of the money for Camp Ransburg or else you will not be able to get the early bird discount before April 15th.  This would be $250.  The rest could be settled after the mulch sale to help families offset the cost.  There will be no checks going back to families if they wanted to pay up front for the whole cost of summer camp.  Once you put money into the Scout account, you cannot withdraw it except for Scout expenses.

High Adventure 2024:
As noted from our short meeting last week, there seems to be enough people for two treks to Florida Sea Base.  I know a few people who are interested in Philmont next year as well.  I would suggest many of you go to Sea Base for your first high adventure and then think about Northern Tier, Summit and Philmont after that.  Lots of great activities for you to do!

Upcoming events:
"The Turtle" April 29-30:
This is a big event.  We met on Monday night to start the conditioning, but with only three miles of distance, the Scouts will need to walk on their own several times during the week for about an hour to develop their endurance.
