April

 Hi Troop 136!


Meeting tonight 4/11:
The meeting tonight will look a little different.  Since there are a lot of people that will be missing because of a Washington DC planning trip, we will plan to unload the shed, take an inventory of what we have and clean up the gear from the last campout.  I have asked Payton if we can wear our Activity uniforms (Class B) for this event tonight.  He will post on the Band app once he makes that decision.

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 21-22.  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 last 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.  This would be $250 by tonight, April 11th.  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:
Since there was so much money going out for summer camp, we decided to wait until the end of May to ask for deposits for Florida Sea Base or Philmont.  There will be a $200 nonrefundable deposit to help with the down payment of the trip.  There will be a monthly payment schedule set up for those going on either trip.

Upcoming events:
"The Turtle" April 29-30:
This is a big event.  We met again last night and we hiked about 6 miles.  The Scouts will need to walk on their own several times during the week for about an hour to develop their endurance.  Jackson will share the location of our trip next week on the Band app.
