February 8-9 Cold Weather Camping
Are you going? It will be fun! We’ll go to PW forest park and go on a hike, fire building, ax yard and an all around good time. BE PREPARED. We will have some unseasonably warm weather this week, but don’t let that fool you, it will be full on cold weather camping this weekend. Attached is a cold weather guideline, and this will be your skill on Monday as well.

| Service Opportunities
If you have any service opportunities you think would be good for our Scouts, please contact Mrs. Greiner, our Service Coordinator at 58donahue@cua.edu. ————– Notes from the Senior Patrol Leader: – BRING YOUR COATS! It is winter, it’s cold, we go outside for activities. Be Prepared. – PATROL LEADERS – It is your responsibility to touch base with your Patrols and be sure that they are paying attention to the Skills Training and working on their Advancement – CELL PHONE USAGE – Not in the troop meetings, except with very few exceptions when they are being used for advancement or merit badges. – Uniforms and Opening/Closing Ceremonies – wear your Field Uniforms and line up properly for the ceremonies. – BRING YOUR SCOUTBOOKS TO THE MEETINGS! Opportunities for Advancement are being wasted just because Scouts don’t remember their books. Other Items of Interest Stem Committee: Contact Mr. Steenstra at the troop meeting if you would like to be on it! There are lots of great opportunities around the area.
If you know of anyone that is not on this list that wishes to be, please have them contact me and I’ll get them added. Also, if you are receiving this and wish not to, please let me know! SM Bolte |
