 Solar Eclipse 2024:  I hope you all got a chance to enjoy the Solar Eclipse.  Remember, to earn the 2024 Solar Eclipse Patch, you will need to discuss what you saw during the eclipse or what happens during a solar eclipse.  Feel free to chat with any of the adults in the Troop about this and we can make sure that Mr. Baughman has your name down to earn the patch.

Parent's Meeting:  I would like to have a parent's meeting on Tuesday, 4/16/2024 to help answer questions that anyone may have.

April Hocking Hills Campout:    The PLC has been working on a plan to camp in the Hocking Hills over the weekend of April 19-21.  They have several different ideas to nail down as far as the events they want to do.  I will have a permission slip ready for the campout at the next troop meeting.

Mulch update:   Hey scouts and parents.  Mulch is coming up at the end of this month.  We will be delivering Mulch on Friday, April 27th and Saturday, April 28th.  Hopefully we'll get the deliveries and spreading done on these two days.  How do you earn $?  After the mulch is paid for, the total profit is divided by the total number of hours worked to get the hourly rate.  Each scout will be paid the hourly rate times the number of hours the work to get a total earned for the mulch sale.  We will need as much help as possible to make sure we take care of our customer's needs.  We'll be wearing old clothes, shoes and gloves.  Make sure to dress for the weather.  GRRRR!

Pack 136 Campout:  Pack 136 is having their Spring campout at Camp Falling Rock on May 3-5.  If you're a den chief for the Pack and want to go help out at the Pack Campout, please let me know.

Ladies of Gantz Flower Sale:  Friday, May 10th, at 6pm, the Troop will be guarding the flowers at Gantz Park.  I will be getting a sign-up genius out for this.  This is always a fun event and you earn service hours for this event.  

Flag Placement at Green Lawn Cemetery:  On Saturday, May 25th at 9am, the Troops have been invited to place flags on the grave sites of deceased veterans at Green Lawn Cemetery.  There will be a memorial service following the placing of the flags.  More information on this to come.

Henry Ciocca Eagle Scout Project:  Henry Ciocca is asking for help on his Eagle Scout Project on Saturday, May 25th.  Henry's Eagle Scout Project is to re-work a large flower bed at the Grant Sawyer Home on Hahn Rd in Grove City.  The Grand Sawyer Home is believed to have been built in the 1830s and along with the Gantz house is on the National Register of Historic Places.  Henry will also be cleaning up the other flower beds and mulching.  Please put this on your calendar and come support Henry and the Southwest Franklin County Historical Society.  Time to be determined.

New Scout Camp out:  The troop has tentatively planned a New Scout Campout for the weekend of May 31st to June 2nd. 

Camp Falling Rock Summer Camp 2024:  Summer Camp this year is from Sunday, June 30th to Saturday July 6th at Camp Falling Rock.
