Court of Honor: Thank you to everyone who attended the Court of Honor on January 30th. It was great to see everyone supporting their scouts and to share in the pizza, salad and dessert potluck. It was nice to get to chat with so many people and to share some time together. Congratulations to all of the scouts who earned rank advancement, merit badges and other special awards. Congratulations to Mr. Baughman on his Woodbadge beading ceremony. The Woodbadge ticket is designed to help scouters focus on areas they think can help their units. By strengthening their units, they strengthen scouting as a whole.
Scout Sunday: Members of Troop 136 and Pack 136 attended the worship service at the First Presbyterian Church on Sunday, 2/4/24. Members from both units greeted parishioners, passed out bulletins and collected the offering. The partnership between The First Presbyterian Church and Scouting is a long one, with each group supporting the others. This partnership was strengthened this week when the First Presbyterian Church approved the creation of a Girl Troop that will be numbered 7136 and a Venturing Crew that will be numbered 2136. These units will be starting in the near future and the Troop 136 Committee will be overseeing all three units. With the addition of two more units, the Troop Committee would like to invite the parents of any scout to come join our meetings. We meet at 7pm on the first Sunday of each month at the First Presbyterian Church.
Tour of the Ohio State House: This month's theme is Citizenship. With that in mind, the PLC has arranged for the Troop to Tour the Ohio State House on Saturday, 2/17/2024. The tour will last from noon to 2pm but the tour guide would like the troop to arrive at 11:45 at the State House. Plan to meet at 11am at the First Presbyterian Church and travel together to the Ohio State House located at 1 Capital Sq, Columbus, Oh 43215. There will be no cost for this event. Please sign up on the BAND app if you plan to attend. Permission slips will be available at the meeting on Tuesday or you can use the link below:
Maplefest 2024: Maplefest 2024 will be on Saturday 2/4/2024 at Camp Lazarus. The troop plans to camp in cabins at Camp Lazarus from Friday 3/1/2024 to Sunday 3/3/2024. The troop normally helps run the rope making station that demonstrates how rope is made from twine. The hours worked are considered service hours, which scouts need for rank advancement. This is a great way for our troop to serve the scouting community and pay it forward to younger scouts who come out to enjoy a day at the Maplefest. We need anyone interested in joining us at the camp to sign up using the sign up genius below by 2/20/2024 so that we can reserve a cabin.Cost of this event will be $20 for food plus the cost of the cabin rental, which has not been determined, but will not be more than $15 per person.
Shed update: All three sheds have been delivered and are now secured. In the near future, we will be asking for help in emptying the old sheds into the new sheds, tearing down the old sheds and placing them in a dumpster. We will also need help moving gear from the trailers to the troop shed.
