Every scout deserves a trained leader. Green Bar has 38 participants in six patrols who are taking the opportunity to learn scout skills to bring back to their units. 30 scouters and 15 youth staff have joined together to help guide the participants through the course. The 1st weekend was a great success, now, in 3 weeks, back to work for the 2nd weekend.
Recruiting night: This Thursday, 8/29 is recruiting night at the church from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. The Pack will be talking to parents and potential scouts about how much fun scouting is. If you are a Den Chief, please consider coming and helping out. If you're not a Den Chief and are interested in becoming one, please let me know. We will have a climbing wall and other games at this event.
Put in Bay Campout: Wow on the number of scouts planning to attend. We currently have 13 scouts planning to attend. This is going to be a fun trip. We'll be camping at East Harbor State Park, taking a ferry to South Bass Island and roaming around South Bass Island using golf cats. We will be visiting Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial, which stands 352 feet tall. We plan to visit Perry's Cave, which is a rare underground fresh water lake. Attached is the permission slip. You need to have updated medical forms parts A and B on hand to participate.
David Sweet Eagle Court of Honor: David Sweet has scheduled his Eagle COH for Sunday, 9/8/2024 at 2:30 pm at the First Presbyterian Church. He's looking for some scouts to help with the Court of Honor as the color guard and to light candles. Below is a sign up genius for any scouts who are interested in helping. Let's all come out and celebrate this honor with David and his family. Sign up genius is below:
Arts in the Alley Parade: Saturday, 9/21/24, is the 2024 Arts in the Alley Parade. Troops 136 and 7136 will be joined by Troop 392 to carry the American Flag and lead the parade. We'll meet at the CVS at the corner of Broadway and Southwest BLVD in Grove City at 9:00 am. The parade starts at 9:30 am so let's make sure to be on time. Below is a sign up genius. We have several scouts and adults who will not be able to attend this year as they will be at the September OA Ordeal so we need everyone to come out.
Three Eagle Shootout: The Three Eagle Shootout is an annual event that is sponsored by local scouters who volunteer their time to teach scouts how to shoot .22 rifles, 12 gauge shotguns and compound bows. These volunteers are NRA trained instructors who want scouts to learn how to safely handle guns and bows. The event is held at the Pickaway County Sportsmen Club located at 8100 US-22 in Circleville, Oh. 43113, and the date has been changed to Saturday, 10/5/2024. If you're interested in going, sign up below: I will be out of town for this event so we will need at least 2 registered scouters to attend this event.
Henry Ciocca Eagle Court of Honor: Henry Ciocca's Eagle Court of Honor is set for Sunday, 10/13/2024. Please keep this day open to celebrate this accomplishment with Henry and his family.
University of Scouting: The annual University of Scouting is scheduled for Saturday, 11/9/2024. This event is a great opportunity for adult leaders to learn from other leaders. There will be classes to register for on the Simon Kenton Council calendar. Location has not been determined and the registration has not opened yet.
