We have a very busy upcoming schedule but first I would like to let you know that the PLC has completed their Annual Planning Meeting and they have come up with some exciting events for the troop to participate in for the upcoming year. I have included a Word Document as an attachment so that everyone can start to add these dates to their calendars.
Arts in the Alley Parade: So far we have 8 scouts signed up to participate in the Arts in the Alley Parade this Saturday 9/16/23, kicking off at 9am. We will be meeting at the CVS on Broadway and Southwest BLVD at 8am. We will be joined by scouts from Troop 392, leading the parade and carrying the American flag. We will be in Field (Class A) uniform. Below is the link for the Sign-up Genius. We would like as many scouts as possible to participate and show off our scout spirit and civic responsibility.
City Barbeque Fundraiser: This upcoming Saturday, 9/16/23 from 11am to 8pm, Troop 136 has joined with City Barbeque for a fundraising event. Troop 136 will receive 20% of the proceeds from meals for anyone who goes to City Barbeque at 2261 Stringtown Rd in Grove City and mentions Troop 136. Below is the information for the fundraiser. Please share this information with your friends and family.
Save the date -- Saturday, September 16th -- City Barbeque is donating 20% of orders to Scouts BSA TROOP 136! Take a night off from cooking and join us in eating for a great cause. City Barbeque accepts Dine-In, Takeout, Delivery, Drive thru & Pick up orders made online using the promo code FundA or in store/by phone mentioning Scouts BSA TROOP 136. You can RSVP & see all details here: https://grouprai.se/s259471 #groupraise #citybarbeque #scoutsbsatroop136 #savethedate
Popcorn Sales: Popcorn Kernel Brandi Blackston will be at the Troop meeting on 9/12 to talk about the popcorn sale and to pass out popcorn forms. Remember, you can really help your scout account by selling popcorn as illustrated below as well as the link for show and sells that she has set up:
Sell $300, receive $100 in your scout account!
Sell $600, receive $200 in your scout account!
Sell $900, receive $300 in your scout account!
And the amount keeps rising as you sell more!
Please take the opportunity to check out these events and sign up. We have several events coming up this Friday and Saturday. The event at City Barbeque on Saturday coincides with the Troop Fundraiser. We will also be asking patrons to mention Troop 136.
September Campout: The scouts decided to go to the Hocking Hills for a hike. The proposed trailer was a loop to Airplane Rock. This loop is approximately 4.5 miles long. We will be camping at the Group Camping area of Hocking Hills State Park at 19852 State Route 664S Logan, OH 43138. As of now, there are only 2 scouts and 1 adult signed up. Below is the Sign-up Genius for this event. Cost will be determined by the number of participants but please budget $40. Currently there are only 2 scouts and 1 adult signed up. We need 1 more adult to sign up.
Pumpkin Patch: On Friday, Sept 29th, the pumpkins for the pumpkin patch will be delivered. Everyone who is available to help with the unloading will be needed. Cub Scout Pack 136 will also be there helping to upload but their Fall campout is that weekend so they will be needing to get there as soon as possible. The hours worked at the pumpkin patch will go toward your scout accounts to help pay for upcoming events. The rate per hour will be determined by the amount raised by the sale. The Troop and the Pack are joining forces for the Pumpkin sale this year. Let's get off to a great start by coming together to help unload our pumpkins. We will get a time out when we know when the delivery will be.

Three Eagle Shootout: The Three Eagle Shootout is scheduled for 10/7/23 at the Pickaway County Sports Inc Gun Club at 8100 US 22, Circleville, OH. The cost for shooting is $20 and this does not cover lunch. The PLC will need to decide if everyone should bring their own lunch or if the Troop will bring lunch for everyone. Troop will meet at the First Presbyterian Church at 7:30 and travel to the range. There will be a safety briefing at 8:45 am and the event kicks off at 9am. The PLC decided to have this be a single day event and not a campout. Below is the sign up Genius.
