Here are a few cool opportunities for our scouts:

1) I’m a member of the LaGuardia Airport Kiwanis Club, and they are seeking our assistance at their annual Kids Day event.  They need Boy Scouts to assist in serving hot dogs to everyone for the day.  There are roughly 1000-4000 people that attend this event each year, so the club is looking for a good 50-75 Scouts.  They would need to show up at 10:00am on Saturday, September 20, 2014 at the Marine Air Terminal of LaGuardia Airport.  They’ll be provided with gloves and everything else needed to provide service.  The uniform isn’t required, but it would be good for them to wear it for the sake of exposure.

2) We have 10 spots available, ONLY can hold them through this weekend.

For some reason a calendar entry showed up for the movies for tonight.

Just wanted to let everyone know there is NO activity planned.

Next Friday will be our First meeting of the new scout year.

This year we are going to require that ALL Youth in a leadership position (qualify for advancement for Star, Life & Eagle) are fully trained in their positions.

This means they will have to complete a Troop JLT (Junior Leader Training) &  District JLT. Attendance is NOT optional. If the course’s are not completed the scout will relinquish their leadership position.

The Troop JLT will be before 3 meetings at Trinity (Sep 19, Sep 26, Oct 3) & District JLT is Oct 14 & Nov 11 at 730p (4037 61st St, Woodside, NY 11377)

These training are open to all, not just those who are leaders.

In order to effectively run a growing troop having trained leaders is essential.

Any questions direct to Mike

A lot of you have called and asked about the start of the new scout year. So here are some important dates to add to your calendar:

September 5 – First Scout Meeting – Back to Full Uniform – All scouts MUST bring their book

September 26 – Parents Meeting (All asked to attend) followed by a Court of Honor to recognize our scouts success this summer

October 3 – First Committee Meeting

October 10 – 13 – First Camping Trip, Location TBA.

Just to clarify, we will still have regular meetings on the weeks in between these dates. We just wanted to make sure you added these IMPORTANT dates to your calendar.

Have a great rest of the summer, and I will see you all soon.

Matt Butler (father) will be taking the lead on this.

We will meet at the church at 6p, as usual. The scouts will decide what we are seeing and then we will go.

Matt need additional driving support for other parents/leaders.

Thanks everyone, Have a great weekend.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the movies this Friday, so I am looking for an adult who can take the lead.

It is very simple, all you have to do is show up (at trinity), let the scouts know what non-rated-R movies are playing and let them decide what they want to see, within reason (since we meet at 6, a movie with a 9p start time wouldn’t make any sense). Enjoy the movies with the scouts & make sure all scouts are picked up after.

Please let Mike know ASAP if you can take this role. Thanks.

Scouts who are up at camp this week need to be picked up on Saturday no later than 930a.

If you have any questions about this please TEXT (works best at camp) Mike.

It has been a while since a Troop 106 scout has worked on an Eagle Project.

I am proud to announce that Richard Page has a project that was just approved and he needs your help.

He is doing a blood drive, which will take place when most of us are up at camp (Sat Aug 9). In order to drive traffic & raise awareness to his project he will be flyering a large part of Middle Village. The info on that is below:

When: Saturday Aug 2

Where: Meet at Trinity Lutheran Church

When: 9A

Uniforms are NOT required. Volunteers (parents and siblings are more than welcome) will be given a map and will be responsible for flyering all the houses on various blocks.

Any questions direct to Richard at [email protected]

These are the last steps of Richard’s journey to Eagle, and needs ALL of your support. Please make sure you are there. He also will need over 30 blood donors on the 9th, but more info will go out about that shortly.
