June

 New Scout Campout:  The New Scout Campout was a great success.  There were 17 participants, 12 youth and 5 adults from both Troop 136 and 7136.  The experienced scouts did a great job of leading the new scouts in packing the trailer, unpacking the trailer, setting up a kitchen, cooking meals, cleaning up after meals, tearing down the campsite, loading the trailer, unloading the trailer into the shed.  This weekend was dedicated to getting the scouts together so that they can learn about each other, learn how to function on a campout and to work on their Scout rank.  We have a few more requirements to complete to finish up the Scout rank but the weekend was a great success.


Philmont 2024:   Members of Troop 136 and several other troops took off for a 12 day trek at Philmont Scout Ranch.  Have a great time!

Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge:  Jason Savage has begun the first class of Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge.  Please watch the BAND App for updates regarding this Merit Badge and upcoming Merit Badge Opportunities.

Simon Kenton Council Baseball night:  Friday, 6/14 the Columbus Clippers are hosting their 23rd annual Simon Kenton Council Scout night.  Scouts will get a chance to take part in a parade around the field prior to the game.  The parade starts at 6:20pm.  Cost for tickets for reserved seats are $10 for adults and $8 for youth and for bleacher seats $8 for adults and $6 for youth.  Below is a link for those interested in going to the game, it should be a fun time.  


Camp Falling Rock Summer Camp 2024:  Summer Camp this year is from Sunday, June 30th to Saturday July 6th at Camp Falling Rock.  Anyone who is planning to go to Summer Camp will need a current Medical Form A, B1,B2 and C.  Mrs. Clasby has begun collecting these forms and looking them over.  If you have any questions, please reach out to her via the BAND App or let me know and I will get you in touch with her.  I have attached those forms to this email.  The troop has been registered for Summer Camp, however, there is still time to sign up using the link below to sign up.  If you have any questions, please reach out to me.  For the adults and scouts who have already registered, the troop needs to collect $350 per scout and $200 per adult.  Please bring means to pay for Summer Camp to this week's meeting.  For anyone who has signed up after April 30th, the cost for the scouts is $400 but if there are issues with the cost, please see myself or Committee Chair Jason Savage.  I have also included a link for a tentative tenting plan for Summer Camp.  Please feel free to edit the plan.  There is still time to sign up.
