Pack & Troop 106 will be running a drive to help those in the low-lying areas affected by the storm.

Here is what we will be doing:

On Saturday 11/3 we will be putting a flyer (see below) in every door in Middle Village (all hands on deck unless you have a prior commitment)

From Sunday 11/4 – Friday 11/9 we will have a table setup at Trinity for those who come by with donations. (signup sheet will be passed around on Friday)

One day after 11/9 (working on the details now) we will head to Rockaway/Breezy Point/Broad Channel to get everything to the people that need it.

The first eight words of the Scout Oath are:

On my honor, I will do my best 

We are now going to live that Oath we repeat every week to help those that need it most.

If you have any questions reach out to Mike, See you all Friday.

Here is a copy of the flyer that will be going out: Sandy Drive

WE NEED 10,000 copies made, if anyone has a connection to a printer please let Mike know immediately.

Trinity weathered the storm just fine. Regular meeting at 7pm and Committee meeting at 7:30pm tomorrow 11/2.

I am posting this not because it is troop related, but rather as a reminder for those who may be missing something and not realize it. If power go outs and stays out for any extended period of time your preparation now will impact what you go through.

Here are some NOT SO OBVIOUS things you should IMMEDIATELY do:

Go to the bank and take out CASH, if power goes out, whatever is open will only be taking cash.

Fill up all of your cars gas tanks. No power = No gas

Charge all and any rechargable batteries you have.

Make sure you have ample ice to refrigerate the basics. No power = No Fridge.

Fully charge all electronics, even the ones you only occasionally use.

Ensure all flashlights, candles and lighters are in an easy to get to location. (remember to always keep an eye on open flames)

Fill up your bathtub, most water pumps are electric, you are NOT to use this water to drink.  It sitting stagnate for an extended period of time makes it border on not being potable. You  would use this for cleaning and washing.

If your lights go out turn everything off, and keep it all off as when they go back on the electric voltage has a tendency to fry electronics.

Hope everyone is ok, PLEASE feel free to reach out to me if you have any concerns or need advice on something.

Here are 4 reminders for this Friday:

1) It is a Class B Uniform Meeting, So you just need your Class B shirt to be considered in full uniform.

2) A $60 Non-refundable deposit is due for ANYONE who is going to DC. This applies to both youth and adults. We had to book the hotel rooms already in order to lock in the rate and will be cancelling any unneeded rooms on Saturday. Mike (with the committee’s approval) will not be making ANY exceptions to this. Any questions should be directed to him.

3) Bring your bolo’s, we will be working on them.

4) There will be a TLC meeting after the regular meeting, all youth leaders are expected to attend and everyone else is welcome.

See you all Friday.

It’s that time of year again. This is a great opportunity for the scouts to raise some money which they can use towards future trips.

A group of adult troop leaders at TMR decided that this fundraiser would also be open to the adults in the troop. So any cakes/pies that adults sell, they can get credit for if they so wish.

The Cake/Pies run between $15-$18. The person selling them will get $5 (in their account) for each one they sell. We get them from Cascone’s Bakery in Bayside/Whitestone.

The Forms will be given out at Friday’s Meeting or Click Here to Download: Pie

Forms must be turned in with all monies by November 7th. Pies will need to be picked up Monday, November 19th as we don’t have refrigeration this year.

Direct any questions towards Mike.
