Troop 24 has reservations to attend Camp Tesomas July 12-18, 2020. Currently, Camp Tesomas staff is planning to hold summer camp in 2020 if they are allowed by state guidelines and regulations regarding COVID-19 and social distancing. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Wisconsin Department of Health have not yet decided whether summer camps will be allowed.

We are asking Troop 24 members to answer a brief survey regarding your opinion on whether the troop should attend Camp Tesomas if permitted. Please let us know your concerns in the “Comments” section of the survey.

APRIL 9TH TROOP MEETING VIA ZOOM

We will hold our second virtual rank advancement meeting via Zoom today from 7:00-8:30.

We’ll approach the meeting a little differently this time:

1. If you have a requirement you’d like to either discuss, explain, or demonstrate, be ready. And click here to signal that to the leaders in advance.
2. If you’re not quite sure how to proceed with rank advancement in this virtual world, join the meeting and we’ll help you set a strategy.
3. Finally, we might make use of “Breakout Rooms” to enable Leaders and Scouts to separate into virtual rooms within the meeting, to create smaller groups.
