Hello All,
I still need a BSA Medical Part A-B for all members of the Troop. I especially need these medicals if you plan to go on our next trip in October.
I will be at tonite’s meeting and will take your medicals.
If you went to summer camp this past summer, I already have a copy of your medical and I don’t need an updated one.
Part A-B doesn’t need a doctor’s signature. Part B consists of two pages B1 and B2. We need both.
Just a reminder that we will have our First Patrol Leader’s Council Meeting (PLC) tomorrow, Friday September 24th, right after the Parent’s Night. All patrol leaders and junior leader’s are required to attend.

Good Evening Everybody. I hope all is well and everyone is having a great week.
A reminder that tomorrow is Parent’s Night. Parents are requested to join us to hear about plans for the upcoming year. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. Scouts will be recognized for their Summer Camp advancement and we will also be recognizing all new scouts who have joined the troop this year. Scouts are requested to be in Full Class-A Uniform. All social distancing requirements are in place and everyone must wear a face mask.
We will also have sign-up for our first camping trip of the year. The trip will be taking place from October 8th to the 11th. (Columbus Day Weekend) We will be going to Ten Mile River Scouts Camps and staying in lentos and tents. I encourage everyone to sign-up and attend this trip as we plan on doing lots of advancement.

Hello Everyone,
This post is especially for the new Scouts and their families but is a good review for those of you who have been around for awhile. The Guidebook was developed to answer alot of questions you might have about the Troop and Scouting in general. Any questions, comments or concerns, please contact us.
I fixed the link to the Guidebook so you should be seeing the updated guidebook.

Hello Everyone,
The Troop Committee met and decided that we need to raise the Annual Registration Fee from $90.00 to $100.00.
Last year, The Boy Scouts of America raised the cost of registration to $72.00 with a one time fee of $25.00 for brand new, never before registered Scouts, while our registration cost remained at $90.00. This meant that when a new Scout registered, the Troop had to add $7.00 of its own money to register the Scout.
The Boy Scouts of America gets $72.00 of the $100.00 we collect. Most of that goes to the cost of insurance. The Troop uses the remainder to purchase awards, handbooks and other supplies for the unit to function.
The cost for an adult to join remains at $42.00. This covers insurance and background checks the Boy Scouts of America does randomly on every adult leader.
We know that the cost to join the Boy Scouts will increase in small increments over the coming years. We do not know what the cost will finally top out at.
Please do not hesitate to contact Anthony or myself if you have financial difficulties with the registration fees. Please do not let the registration fees be a barrier to being in the Boy Scouts. We will always find a way to ensure every youth who wants to be in Scouting can be.
Hello Everyone,
The Boy Scouts of America requires us, to keep on file, a copy of the BSA Medical Parts A-B for future use. This medical doesn’t expire and you don’t need to go to the doctor to have it filled out.
Please send me a copy of it, [email protected], when you are done and I will upload it to the Troop’s G-Drive where only a few of the leaders have access to it.
Revised Post:
If your son went to summer camp this year, you do not need to send me a new Part A-B since it’s is included in the summer camp medical and has already been saved to the Troops Google Drive.
