Due to lack of response, the Vertical Endeavors outing scheduled for December 12 has been cancelled.

We will be holding Boards of Review during the Troop meeting on December 17. Scouts who need either a Scoutmaster Conference or Board of Review should sign up online.

We will NOT have a regular Troop meeting this week since we have an outing on Friday night (Sky High Trampoline) and on Saturday (Vertical Endeavors Climbing).

However, we will have a Patrol Leader Meeting in lieu of the regular meeting. This will be a planning meeting for January & February meetings.

The following boys should attend:

Patrol 1: Troop Guide Colin G

Patrol 3: Luke R & Steven Sa
Patrol 4: Cameron G & Ewan P
Patrol 5: Noah H & Fidel G (they are to pick a representative as they both have RB Band Concert)

We will be planning the meetings with an eye on our January & February outings (Luge, Klondike, Skiing) We will focus on cold weather activities and camping. Pizza will be served. If any of the scouts listed above will not be able to attend, please e-mail Scoutmaster Flaherty.

We would like to send Feedblitz messages directly to our scouts, and occasionally contact them with other news via e-mail. With 3 exceptions, we have e-mail addresses for all our “Star & Above” Patrol, but we would appreciate receiving e-mail addresses for any scout who is 1st Class rank or below. If you are willing to share your scout’s e-mail address, please send it to nmhopkins1@comcast.net.

Our holiday “party” is next Friday, December 11, at Sky High Trampoline. We have 30 spots available, but only 11 scouts have signed up. More information is available here: http://troop24riverside.com/2015/11/sky-high-trampoline-holiday-party/.
