 Mayor's Breakfast:  On Wednesday, 6/12 members of four troops as well as local government officials, business members and donors gathered together at the Eagle Pavilion for the 35th annual Mayor's breakfast to raise money for Simon Kenton Council.  Our own David Sweet was one of 4 scouts to speak about what scouting has meant to him.  David spoke about leadership, service, and how he has learned from scouting.  Thank you, David for taking the opportunity to educate the public about the rewards of scouting!

Grove City Council Meeting:  On Monday, 6/17 7 scouts and 5 adults visited the Grove City Council meeting while working on the Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge.  Our SPL Josh Savage got to address the City Council and explained that the scouts were there to work on their Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge and would report on Council meeting when they met again for the merit badge.

 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.

Henry Ciocca's Eagle Scout Project: Congratulations to Henry Ciocca on a job well done at the Grant Sawyer House.  The Historic Society was very appreciative of all the work done cleaning up the flower bed and replanting period correct plants.  Thank you to everyone who was able to assist Henry in his service project!

 Flower Guarding / Aviation Merit Badge:  Great job scouts and scouters.  There were 11 scouts and 5 scouters who came out to help watch the flowers for the Ladies of Gantz.  7 scouts and 3 scouters stayed overnight but some had to leave to get up early and attend the Aviation Merit Badge at the OSU Airport.  9 scouts and 4 scouters attended the Aviation Merit Badge which was a great turn out for this event.  One scout attended the Merit  Badge College to work on merit badges.  

Spring Court of Honor:  The Spring Court of Honor will be held on Tuesday, 5/14.  Scouts and scouters will be presented with awards, rank advancement or merit badges that they have earned.  Our Committee Chair, Jason Savage will also receive his beads for completing his Woodbadge Ticket.  Woodbadge is an adult training course that helps adults learn how to successfully lead their units.  Congratulations, Jason on this accomplishment.  Following the COH and Beading Ceremony, we will have a desert share.  If you would like to bring a dessert to share with the group, please sign up using the link below :  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050D49ACA62FA1FE3-49548549-desert

Mulch spreading at First Presbyterian Church:  Tuesday, 5/21, we will be spreading mulch  at the First Presbyterian Church.  This church is our Charitable Organization and without it, we would have no place to meet or equipment to use.  The mulch spreading at the First Baptist Church only took about 1 hour so I would anticipate the mulch spreading at the First Presbyterian Church to last a similar amount of time.  

Flag Placement at Greenlawn Cemetary:  Saturday, 5/25, Troops 136 and 7136 will be placing flags at the graves of veterans who have served in the armed forces.  This annual event happens on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and allows our scouts to show reverence to service members who have served.  There will be a voluntary memorial service following the flag placement.  Please sign up using the sign up genius below:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050D49ACA62FA1FE3-49644145-flag

 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.
