Don’t Miss These Service Hour Opportunities!

Service is part of Scouting and EVERY Boy Scout must participate in service projects to advance in rank. But service goes beyond advancement requirements. It is also a great chance for Scouts striving towards becoming a member of the Order of the Arrow to practice “cheerful service.” Whether you volunteer as an individual or you help out at a troop group service project, volunteering is fun!

Be sure to take a Service Hour Form to your service project! All service hour forms should be signed by someone from the beneficiary.

Check out all the ways you can make a difference and get the service hours you need!

Troop Meeting – Thursday, April 4

First Aid Month is upon us!

On Thursday, we will master Tenderfoot requirements 4a, b, c, d and 5a, culminating with Patrol-based skill-checks.

Those of you who have mastered these skills can act as coaches for the younger Scouts.

All of that, time permitting, will be followed up a fun game.

Finally, patrols will announce their new names and cheers, and display their new flags.

TENT RETURN: if you still have a tent from the Cantigny camp-out, be sure to return it.

Remember to wear your Scout uniform and bring your Scout Handbook to all meetings and troop events!

SPECIAL EVENTS:

The Camp Tesomas Overview/Q&A session will take place on Thursday, April 11th. Open to all families attending or considering Summer Camp this year.

The April 18th meeting will take place at the Scout Cabin.

First Aid Month & Volunteers Needed!

First Aid Month is upon us!

Like many Scout skills, First Aid must be practiced and repeated to become part of your Scoutcraft tool-kit, even after the merit badge is earned!

To prepare for Thursday’s meeting, take a few moments to review Tenderfoot requirements 4a, b, c, d and 5a.

If you’ve mastered those, you can move on to Second Class 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e.

Those of you who have mastered these skills can act as coaches for the younger Scouts, in anticipation of Patrol-based skill-checks at the end of the meetings.

More to follow in tomorrow’s announcement!

 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED for an Eagle Board of Review on Thursday April 11th

The troop is in need of 3-4 adults to sit on an Eagle Board of Review on Thursday April 11th at 7:00 pm. Sitting on an Eagle Board is a very rewarding opportunity to be a part of a Scout’s final step to achieving the rank of Eagle. If you have not sat on an Eagle Board before, we can provide you with some resources to familiarize yourself with topics that are discussed at the Board. Additionally, the Board is run by our Council Representative.

We will meet at the Riverside Presbyterian Church in the Parlor. The time commitment is approximately 1 to 1- 1/2 hours.

If you can help one of our Scouts earn his Eagle, please email me at dmgmitro@aol.com. Thank you!
