 Hi Troop 136!

Meeting on August 2nd:

At the August 2nd meeting, we would not have access to the main room where we normally meet, the FLC.  The PLC is working on a plan.  We may still meet at the building, but it might be a different room or rooms.  They will decide on Sunday afternoon at the PLC Meeting what they want to do.  I will ask the SPL to post in the Band app what they plan to do on Tuesday.

Yearly Planning:

This Sunday, July 31, the PLC will be meeting to discuss the plan for next year.  They need your input.  Use this link to help with the planning for next year:

 Hi Troop 136!

I hope you are recovering from the two weeks of summer camp this summer.  I was able to take a well deserved afternoon nap on Saturday afternoon and started to unpack.  We had a great time.  I will add photos to the Band app soon.  I am on vacation this week so Ron Newcomb will be the Scoutmaster tonight and Roland Guay will be the Scoutmaster next week on July 26th while I am away attending the National Order of the Arrow Conference in Knoxville Tennessee.  It should be a great time.  I know you will have a great time as well.

Meeting plans:

Meeting plan 7/19

Opening - Alpha Dogs patrol

Skills Instruction - Explain the safety of the buddy system and buddy checks.
Henry will be presenting about this topic tonight.

Meeting plan 7/26

The PLC wanted to do something different.  This meeting will be at Deer Creek.  The plan was to go swimming and have a fun dinner with hot dogs and hamburgers.  Sign up here if you are going next week.  Please sign up by Sunday, July 24th to allow time to purchase hot dogs and hamburgers for the event.

We will need a couple of adults to help with watching the Scouts swim.  Use the sign up genius to let us know if you can help with this.  I recommend at least one watching the Scouts swim take the safe swim defense course.  We will not need a lifeguard if we have an adult that has completed the safe swim defense course because it is a state park and the area where we will be swimming has a known depth.

Here is information about Safe Swim Defense.

August and September Events:  (I will send a signup genius later today for this event)

Columbus Clippers - August 5th

I sent an email seeking to see if people were interested in a Columbus Clippers overnight.  It seems they have both an overnight option and an option to just attend the game.  The prices are below.  I have included a signup genius.  We will use your Scout account to collect money for the payment.  I will leave the signup genius open until next Tuesday night.  I will close it and purchase the tickets on Wednesday next week.  Please sign up by Tuesday night.

SCUBA Diving Introduction:

July had Scuba Diving Introduction and August was a Lake Erie fishing trip.  We discussed these events at the last PLC Meeting and it was decided that since the Lake Erie fishing trip was so expensive that they wanted to have a Scuba Diving Introduction.  I will share more details with the PLC at the PLC Meeting on July 31st about what we can do in August to at least have a Scuba Diving introduction.

This is from the contact person at Ohio State:

"I’m looking forward to meeting the troop and providing a tour of the newly opened Mars G. Fontana Laboratories tomorrow evening. 

Logistic to be aware of:

• Parking – please park on Lane Ave. Garage and bring your parking tickets with you, so I can validate them. I will meet you at the entrance to garage and walk with you to the laboratory
• https://www.osu.edu/map/building.php?building=159

• The tour is almost 2.5 miles in length and will include 16 flights of stairs, so it will be a bit of a workout, spread over an hour or so. "

 Hi Troop 136!

Gantz Farm Service:

So far we have two adults who are staying at Gantz Farm tonight. If we could have one more, that would be great!   I would suggest you bring a cot to sleep on. It looks to be wet tonight.

Next week is the SPL Elections.  We have two candidates right now, but we will still accept nominations Tuesday night.

This past Tuesday night's meeting:

Thanks for those Scouts and adults who came to the virtual meeting on Tuesday night.  While having a virtual meeting is not ideal, I appreciate the time and effort it took to make this happen.  We cannot predict the weather and sometimes the weather dictates what we can and cannot do.  Nice job to those who made it happen!

Merit badge books for summer camp:

If you are taking a merit badge this summer, please take some time to review the merit badge books and sign out some of the books that you might need this summer.  We will talk about this tonight at the meeting.

We will have a campout that is close to home to allow for the new Scouts to join us and for those that may want to participate in the merit badge clinic to do so.  Please turn in the permission form by next Tuesday.  We will plan to buy food on Thursday, May 12th.  We will be checking out the camping area to be sure there is no water in the area like last year.

These events that are coming up soon that need your attention:

1. Mulch Delivery: 

This is a message from Jeff Colborn:

"Group,

We have had record mulch sales this year, over 4500 bags!  

The good news is we will not have to worry about getting sunburned this weekend.  The bad news is the weather does not look that great for this weekend.  We will be spreading and delivering mulch rain or shine.  Please dress appropriately as it looks like it will be cool.  Remember to wear old clothes, boots, hats, and gloves.  

I will be working all day on Friday.  Please come as early as you can.  If you think you can arrive before 4:00 please let me know."

All family members are welcome to join in the fun as we help make yards look amazing!

Sign up here to help with the spreading and delivery of mulch

2.  Shane's Eagle Scout Court of Honor:

It looks like we have enough people to help with the lighting of the candles.  If you are planning to attend, please let the family know by RSVP using the link below.  They have asked that you let them know by Tuesday if you plan to attend.  I know it also says March 27th, but they extended this for the Troop.  If you have a younger Scout that is looking to become an Eagle Scout in the future, this is a great way to get some ideas.  Please sign up if you plan to go using this link:

 Hi Troop 136!

Our monthly theme for meetings is Caving.  Here is the meeting plan for this week:  3/22/22

With the nice weather coming this week, it will be nice to get outside.  I hope that you are able to take some time to go outside and get some fresh air this week.  Who knows, maybe the Scouts would like to meet outside if we have nice weather!

This is our last meeting until spring break.  Don't forget the due date this week. We need payment for summer camp at Camp Falling Rock and at least a $50 deposit for Camp Ransburg. 

There will be no Troop meeting during spring break.  Enjoy the time with family.

Earn money by helping with mulch!  We are looking a little light on the Scout sign up for helping with mulch.  Please sign up here to help out:
