Troop 131!
We are starting off on another Scouting year – and we have several opportunities for Scouts and our adult members alike to do a good turn!
Scouts: reminder to bank up service hours to rank up (review requirements in your Handbook).
- Please let me know if there are service activities you would like to organize or attend where we can put the volunteer call out to your fellow troop members.
- If you volunteer time in the community, please make sure to log your service hours and get a sign-off.
We have a busy service calendar coming up this fall.
- Saturday 10/3
- Pumpkins are arriving at the Church in just over 2 weeks! We need your help the morning of Saturday 10/3 to unload and set up the pumpkins in support of our Sponsor, Immanuel Church on the Hill. This activity repeats on 10/17 for any Scouts not attending the District Camporee and on 10/31 for Pumpkin clean-up. Sign ups for all slots here
- Art on the Avenue, and we have a specific call to support the pumpkin painting table with the littles! Please support if you can after our morning Church pumpkin set-up. Sign up here
- Saturdays 11/7 and 11/14 Scouting for Food
- Reminder (Scoutmaster Mark’s email has our calendar of upcoming events) this annual national Scouting BSA event supports our community partners focused on food-insecurity issues. Our efforts will benefit Alive! in support of our Alexandria community experiencing food insecurity – especially with oncoming holiday/colder seasons. Sign ups for both days here
Please feel free to ping me if you have questions. Thank you for your service to our community!
