Hello Troop 136,
I wanted to thank everyone for all the support at the Court of Honor. I think it was a great success with a lot of rank advancement, merit badges, and awards presented. I especially wanted to thank Jim Baughman for the slideshow and putting the program together, Robin Bernhard for the cake and the plates, our MC, Leighton Edwards, Pete Forbes for his kind words and Jackson Bernhart for his heartfelt speech. Well done everyone!
We have a lot of upcoming events coming up:
1. David Sweet has the first day of his Eagle Scout project scheduled for Saturday, June 17th. He has posted a sign up genius on the Band app for anyone who will be able to help with the project. Remember, the hours count service hours toward the next rank. Here is that link for anyone who wants to help David:
2. The troop has scheduled a day trip to Hocking Hills on June 17th as well. The SPL, Jackson Bernhart is working on a poll on the Band App to gauge interest from troop members for this event. Be on the lookout on Band.
3. Camp Ransburg is coming up quickly. For those going to Camp Ransburg, we will be departing from the First Presbyterian Church at 7am on Sunday June 25th. We will need to Pack personal gear into the troop trailer. The PLC has decided to pack troop gear prior to that Sunday morning so that we can get a quicker start. The trip will take 4 hours without stops and we will need to stop at least once for gas. We will be able to arrive between 11am and 1pm, however, we need to be ready to begin check in at 1pm. I plan to depart the church at 7:30 and arrive right about noon. We will be able to take the trailer directly to the campsite to drop it off and then return to the main camp for check in. We will travel in our Field Uniforms and everyone who plans to swim or do any aquatic activities will need to wear their swimming trunks under their uniform. All participants will need a completed permission slip which we are currently working on, a copy of the complete medical form A,B1,B2 and C. Adults will need to be registered with the Troop prior to departure and have up to date YPT.
For tents, we have two options:
1. Scouts and adults can choose to sleep in canvas tents provided by the camp. Each tent will have two bunks, each with a mattress. I would encourage scouts to tent together in either a canvas tent or a personal tent. Scouts must be within 2 years of age to tent together, including siblings. Attached is a link so that you can fill out your preferences:
Please take a moment to fill out the spreadsheet.
I am also including a packing list. The PLC will be working hard over the next several meetings to prepare everyone for camp.
There will be more information coming out but I wanted to get this out to everyone.
