Happy New Year Troop 136,
I hope everyone had a great winter break and were able to spend time with friends and family. We've got lots of things coming up quickly.
2024 Klondike Derby: Gateway district of Simon Kenton Council is holding their annual Klondike Derby at Camp Lazarus on Saturday, 1/27/2024. The scouts have decided that they prefer to attend as a day event and not camp on Friday or Saturday. Last year, after the event, three scouts and three adults tent camped at Camp Lazarus. We used backpacking stoves and cooked our own food and enjoyed an evening around the campfire. I would like to offer this option again this year for those who are interested. We will meet on Saturday morning at 7am at the First Presbyterian Church, load up the sled and the gear and leave by 7:15 in order to be at Camp Lazarus around 8am. I have attached the final bulletin which details the event and the required items for the participants. The cost is $15 per person. Everyone should bring lunch and dress appropriately for the weather. Below is a sign up genius for those who are planning on attending the event. I will have permission slips ready by Tuesday the 23rd.
Court of Honor: Troop 136 will be holding a Court of Honor on Tuesday, 1/30/24 at the troop meeting. We would like to make this a potluck event so that we can enjoy some time together. I will be making a post on Band asking people to comment with the item they would like to bring.
Scout Sunday: Scout Sunday 2024 is Sunday, 2/4/2024. It would be great for our Troop to be well represented at the church service at the First Presbyterian Church at 10am on Sunday, 2/4/2024.
Merit Badge Super Saturday: There is a Merit Badge Super Saturday on 2/10/2024 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Galloway, OH.. Below is a link for more information on this event. Registration will open on 1/21/2024.
Merit Badge Academy: The Epsilon Tau Pi brotherhood is hosting its first ever Merit Badge Academy over two weekends on 2/10/2024 and 3/2/2024 at the Ohio University Campus.
Visit Ohio Statehouse: The scouts asked about visiting the Ohio Statehouse so we have arranged a tour of the Statehouse on Saturday, 2/17/2024 from noon to 2pm. We will meet at the First Presbyterian Church at 11am and carpool to the Statehouse for a tour.
