Hopefully no more facility issues this week. Let’s huddle up and work on some requirements and first aid skills!
Practice Scout Skills wherever you are!
I’ve noticed through Facebook and discussions about town that many of you have been going on some great family trips. Remember that Scout skills aren’t just for scout events. Practice and use your knots, hiking and camping skills, etc., They will serve you for the rest of your life!
Goshen Merit Badges
We will continue to hand out Note also that many Scouts earned “partials”, meaning that they accomplished part of the badge but didn’t meet all the prerequisites or requirements.
Roaring Run Backpacking Trip – September 14/15
This will be the first true backpacking trip for many of the Nukes. A true test of skill and a Troop favorite!
Down time is Scout time!
Take advantage of your relief from school schedules to work on your requirements and merit badges. Let us know how we can help!
Facebook Group
We have a new Facebook Group that we are using for photo updates and positive anecdotes – it is located here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/315489231900796/
It’s a closed group for privacy concerns, so send a request via the link and we’ll accept you.

Notes from the Senior Patrol Leader: – 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.
– Its Summertime, and the SPL has decided that neckerchiefs are not required, so leave them at home and stay cool! – 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. |
