On behalf of the troop I would like to say Thanks!!!
Thank You!!

Blue Mountain Update
Due to the sheer size of the troop we have to make some changes to Blue Mountain trip this year.
We will have a signup up sheet at the next two meetings 12/14 & 12/21, or you can email Mike. All scouts, ASM’s & Scoutmaster are guaranteed a spot. We will also have a waiting list for those that don’t fall into the categories above.
Money for the trip will be due on 1/4/13.
If you sign up and do not pay on 1/4 your spot will be in jeopardy, as we will then open it up to the waiting list that night.
We never want to exclude anyone, but due to the fact that the place can comfortable hold no more than 35 and the troop continues to grow we have to put this system into effect.
The trip will be $40.
Last year the trip was $30 but due to the increased cost of renting the lodge house we had to raise the cost this year.
Any questions see Mike.
Christmas Party
We are doing a pot luck at this years Christmas Party (12/21). All scouts are required to bring something so we can have a great time.
If your son is in Matt S. or Ryan H.’s Patrols they are to bring a tray of food (either hot or cold), If your son is in Cameron’s patrol they are to bring a tray of desserts.
We will also be doing a grab bag. If you want to participate, bring a wrapped gift of no more value than $10.
Any questions see Mike
Troop 106 Hoodies
The troop will be selling Troop 106 Hoodies this winter. Every Scout, Assistant Scoutmaster & the Scoutmaster are all required to buy at least 1, as the money raised will be used to purchase new equipment for the troop. If parents or other adults would like to purchase one as well (or an extra for your scout) that is perfectly fine. It was also believed to be nice to have something with the troops name on it. Likely we will be doing something like this every year going forward.
Sweatshirts are Men’s Sizes, Small to XXL. (unfortunately our supplier does not have any larger sizes than 2X)
Prices
Small – XL – $20
XXL – $25
Money is due by 12/21 as they will be ordered shortly after that
There is also a CONTEST for the design of the hoodie. All entries are due by 12/21. The scout with the winning design (decided by the ASM’s & Mike) will get a FREE hoodie and their design used. Contest is only open to currently active scouts in the troop.
PLEASE contact Mike with your sizes and any questions you may have.
Once again this is MANDATORY for all scouts, asm’s & Mike to purchase a hoodie
Sad News
It’s a sad day when one of our scouts loses a parent. Former scout Chris Liander’s mom passed away after battling cancer for a while.
The wake will be Thursday 12/6 at Kearns Funeral Home (across the street from RA) from 7P-9P
Funeral Mass will be Friday 12/7 at 9:45A at RA
On behalf of the troop I send our deepest condolences to the Liander Family.

Volunteer instead of Shopping
I have all the details and wanted to send out a new message as there were a few changes.
Date: Friday, November 23rd
Time: 11A – 3P (or until the food is done, we will start serving at Noon)
Location: PS 105 Playground (the schools address is 420 Beach 51st Street), but we will be set up at Beach 50th and Beach Channel Drive
Description: We wil be cooking and serving hot food to the members of the community.
Needs: I DO NOT need people to bring trays of food (this is a small change). I DO need people to come help cook and serve.
If you want to bring something, you can bring bottled water that we will hand out with the food. Also if anyone wants to chip in (financially) that would be appreciated.
If you have any questions or if you want to come help please email Mike.
GIVING Back. Please Read
On Friday I will be setting up a spot in the Rockaways and serving Hot food to the community.
This is something I personally want to do and am sending it out to the troop because I know many of you might like to get involved as well.
Here is the information I have so far (some details still pending, please come back to this post to check for updates):
Date: Friday November 23rd
Time: 11A – 3P
Location: Info Coming Soon
Description: We will be serving hot food to those in the community. Many of these people still do not have heat or hot water and some still don’t have electricity. We will setup at 11A and start heating up all of the food. We will begin serving at Noon and serve until 3P or when we run out of food
What I need: I need people to donate trays of food, need people to help setup & serve.
Once again this is not something we are just doing as a troop. It is something that I personally want to do and felt many of you might want to get involved as well. This is open to everyone.
PLEASE email me if you want to help, whether making a tray of food or coming to setup and serve.
Any scouts in attendance will receive Double Service points towards Scout of the Month.
