A few reminders before our Troop Meeting tomorrow and camp out this weekend.
FALL CAMPOREE:
We have 14 Scouts signed up and paid to attend the Fall Camporee at Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation this weekend (November 14 – 16). We will meet at Cork UMC at 6:00pm to load personal gear, food, etc. and will try to head out by 6:30pm to Lake Wales. We may have a campsite with Boy Scout tents and cots, so you may not have to pack tents, but you will want to pack some form of a pad for under your sleeping bag as some of the cots are hard (wood bunks with no padding). As soon as we can confirm, we’ll let you know.
FALL COURT OF HONOR:
We will be holding our Fall Court of Honor next Monday, November 17th during our normal Troop Meeting time period. To help make this a success, I need you to inform me of any and all Ranks, Merit Badges and Awards that you expect to receive at the Fall Court of Honor. Scouts and Parents, please talk about what you’ve done as a Scout but have not been awarded and please do this as quickly as possible so that I have time to validate and acquire the awards. Please DO NOT ASSUME that I already know; even if you told me about something as recently as today, please make a list of all the awards you expect to receive and send that to me. Adult leaders, please let me know of any awards you know of as having been earned by any of our Scouts and forward that to me as well. Please invite your family and friends to join us that evening. The COH will begin at approximately 7:45pm (the meeting will start as usual at 7:30pm, but we’ll have OA Elections first; then begin the COH).
LAST CHANCE FOR SHIRTS AND HOODIES:
Several folks placed orders and paid some time ago, but we haven’t hit our minimum order to get the pricing we’ve quoted. We’ll be orders on Monday (November 10th) at the Troop meeting. As a reminder, you can order the shirts with the design on front, or on the back; in blue or in grey. Hoodies are available as a pullover or zippered front. T-Shirts are $10.00 ($12.00 for XXL+) and Hoodies are $20.00 (additional price for XXL+, I’ll have to confirm the amount). Lastly, these tended to run a little small in our last order, so we suggest you order a size bigger than you typically wear. This is a great time to get an additional shirt, or a hoodie as we head into the cooler weather. (NOTE: I sent an email to those that have ordered so far; if you didn’t get an email from me but believe you did submit an order, please contact me to discuss.)
