Hi Troop 136!
It sounds like the Klondike this past weekend was great. I saw some pictures on the Band app. I hope everyone had fun. I think a few stayed overnight on Saturday, but have not heard if that happened.
High Adventure:
Use the signup genius to sign up for Sea Base or Philmont in 2024. You can sign up for one or both. The one that has the most interest, we will be going to in 2024. Sign up by February 14th.
Next events:
February 5th Scout Sunday
We will need to be at the church at 9:30. This will last until about 11:30. Since this is our meeting place, we need to show appreciation for the space. We are allowed to meet at this location because of the generosity of the church. Plan to spend some time on Sunday morning as a way to thank them for allowing us to use the space for our meetings. Sign up by Friday, February 3rd.
February 5th PLC Meeting:
Meet at the church at 3 pm. This is the last meeting for training. We will meet at 4:30 until the next PLC is elected.

We have participated in this service project for several years. I will call to reserve a cabin that weekend. Sign up by February 21st.
March 31-April 2 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame visit and camp at Camp Manatoc:
We will travel to Camp Manatoc on March 31 and visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday. It was a fun event the last time we visited. Looking for another great time.
We will stay in a cabin at Camp Manatoc. Sign up by March 7th.
Here is some additional information provided to me by Camp Manatoc:
Unit Leaders: Please insure you and your leaders / parents understand the leadership and accommodation requirements according to the current Guide to Safe Scouting.The excerpt below can be found in its entirety online, at: https://www.scouting.org/ Lodging/Cabin Accommodations Whenever possible, separate cabins or lodging should be provided for male and female adults as well as for male and female youth. Where separate accommodations cannot be provided due to group size or limited availability, modifications may be made. Where completely separate accommodations are not available, additional supervision is required.
This will apply to cabins at all of our properties such as: Legion Lodge (MSR) and Walker (Camp Stambaugh). This does allow male leaders to be in the same room as male youth as long as the above accommodations are met. This would NOT apply for Male leaders and Female youth or vice versa. Additional Guidelines Specifically for Cub Scout Unit-Coordinated Camping
