Please see Mr. Jamie’s email about Northern Tier below.

Parents,

This is a reminder that our 2nd payment to Northern Tier is coming up soon. Payments need to be a minimum if $600.00 paid to the Troop by September 15th. This is 50% of the remaining balance due for our trip. The Final payment of $600 will be due on March 15th. Please make payments to Anthony Williams for this. This can be via Cash, Credit, check, or Venmo.

Thank you,

Monday’s meeting

Hello All, For Monday’s meeting please have the items on the packing list (attached here) as well as a hiking backpack. If you do not have a hiking backpack, let me know we have some extras down stairs we can lend out.

Notes from Last Nights Meeting

Hello everyone, Here are the notes from last night’s meeting 1) attached is the schedule what it does not have is popcorn show and sells, or what patrols are scheduled for car parking on specific dates 2) Meetings start at 6:45 PM and end at 8PM 3) The uniform for the first meeting of every month is Class A uniform, Tan shirt, belt, green pants or shorts 4) Board of Reviews will be the last meeting of the month every month, Scouts must have everything checked off and met with their Patrol Leader and Adult Patrol leader the week before to go to the Board of Review. 5) Popcorn all take home orders scouts receive 50% of what the troop gets for their account. This is good for 1 year. 6) Scouts are required to attend 1 show and sell (popcorn and 1 car parking) for their patrol. Those going to Northern tier will have 1 more show and sell to do. 7) If scouts need to see one of the scoutmasters it needs to be before the meetings and they will need to send an email so we can have appropriate numbers of leaders present in accordance with youth protection policies. The leaders will no longer be available after meetings. I will be at the church at 6, if a scout needs something signed by one of us, email me and I can have the appropriate leadership there before the meetings so we can get it signed.

Hello all and welcome to another great year of scouting. Our first meeting will be Monday August 5th from 6:45-8PM at the church. Uniform for Scouts is Class A uniform. We will also have a parents meeting that night and a northern tier meeting as well. See y’all then

Say nope to Dope Drug Awareness Program and Leadership Workshop

Hello All, I hope this email finds you well, and you are having a great Independence Day. We have a new Scout starting next week, his name is Sam. We would like to welcome him and his Grandfather to the fold.
On January 20th from 9am – 12pm the troop will be hosting a drug awareness community program put on by Oxford Police Department. This is for the scouts from no rank to 2nd class and fulfills a requirement. Hopefully they bring their K9s out and I can put on the bite suit again, the boys really enjoyed that last time we did this. We are working on a leadership workshop (what the BSA calls ILST) for the scouts that are 1st class and above later that day, and those scouts will also participate in planning the upcoming troop calendar for the year. The training will help teach the boys to instruct the younger boys in the troop, how to test, and how to better work in the Patrol Method. I will have more information on this portion as we get closer to the date.
Have a great Independence Day
