Hi All,
There is a lot in this update, so please read it carefully, print if
necessary (trying to save the environment you know...).
Reminder, this Thursday, 10/2, at 11:00 there will be a memorial service
for Mr. Riendeau at the Presbyterian Church. Please reply to this message if
you plan to attend. We are trying to arrange for car pools from the schools.
Full Scout uniform (including neckerchief) please.
If you are signed up for this weekend's Camporee, we have only received the
$20 payment from 3 Scouts! Please bring your payment (check payable to Boy
Scout Troop 266 or cash) THIS WEEK. If we do not receive payment it will affect
your participation in the event.
If you are not attending the Camporee and would like to see the Moose from
the cancelled Moose Parade, they will be on display this Saturday at Camp
Carpenter. Any and all are welcome to head up to "view the Moose..."
Sub sale tickets were distributed last week. If you didn't get yours, get
'em this week! Only a couple of weeks left to sell. The Troop really needs
your support from this sale as it provides funding for gear, activities, and
advancement. There will be awards for those who sell more than 20 subs, and you
must sell at least 10 in order to receive credit for campership funding in the
spring.
Please take some time to complete the survey sent out several weeks ago.
We really need your opinions in order to improve the Troop. A reminder message
will be sent soon. Keep your eyes out and take a few minutes to click the link
and complete the survey. It is painless, really!
This week we will be finalizing preparations for the Camporee, working on
advancement, and playing some games. I will also work with the older Scouts on
merit badge planning and higher level advancement. I hope that you all can make
it!
Upcoming events:
10/3-5: Lumberjack Camporee, Pelham Scout Lot (Raymond Park)
10/25: Sub sale, Presbyterian Church, 7:00 AM - 12:00 noon. Parent
participation required.
11/14-16: Cooking campout, destination TBD. Great opportunity to practice
cooking skills, gain cooking related advancement, eat good food, and maybe earn
points towards the 100 degrees of frost award... Potential destinations include
Bear Brook State Park, Pawtuckaway State Park, or others. We will have a sign
up this week and will keep you posted on the destination. If you have a
preference, let your Patrol Leader know!
We are also planning a winter overnight in December in the White Mountains
(definite opportunity for 100 degress of frost here...). We will keep you
posted on this as well.
I think that covers it. Sell Subs! See you Thursday!
In Scouting,
Mr. Pierson
