Troop Meetings

Hello Troop 22

Sorry if there are mispellings in this email, my computer monitor is dead and I am writing this on. My phone.

The plan for our meetings is to have our first meeting for the year on September 8th at 6:45PM outside the church. We can stay outside without masks and social distance. As it starts getting darker earlier we will move inside the church with masks and social distance. The flags will be done with all scouts standing 6 feet apart from one another. The scouts first two weeks and two weeks only will to pic thier Scout leaders and plan their event for this year. We do have Eagle projects in the work right now. Jonathan has been working on his. Dominick is in the process of finding final sponsors. Chase’s project has been approved and Vincent’s will be sent in very soon. That being said we have younger scouts that have fell behind because of us not meeting. I would like to see out Troop Scouts.plan a camping trip once to twice a month. This would give the younger scouts more learning time then just 4 hours a month to rank and complete merit badges. The camp outs would start Friday nights and we would get home late Sunday mornings. I will need help with these camp outs. We will have to have rotatio s of adult leader ship at these camp outs so it is not the same leaders everytime. We do not want to burn out our Volunteers.

They will be able to get all of the camping they need in and complete Eagle required meritbadges. Rolan Covert also has a 40 mile bicycle ride planned that we could possibly participate in. Our camping can be done at camp Decorah, Perrot Park, Goose Island or even at Chip Schillings. We can even have our Scouts bike out to Perrot Park while we drive the trailer out to the Park.

The old trailer has been sold and the shelving built in the new one so it is good to go.

We already have three new Scouts. Chase’s two younger brothers and Michael Jones so lets Show them how great Troop 22 really is.

All Scouts and Leaders will need to get me their annual health forms parts A-C as soon as possible for this new year.

Incase you have not heard. My store is closing. It’s last day is Sept 30th.

Our Leader meetings will be the second Tuesdays of each month at 6PM at the church. We can meet outside or inside with social distancing and masks.

This is the plan as of now. I would like to hear from each of you as to your thoughts on the plan and any changes that you rhink3 need to be made.

Thank you
