Service Opportunity Extended
Since school is now closed tomorrow the opportunity to do service and earn points towards Scout of the Month will be extended to include Wednesday as well.
Service Opportunity Today
Hopefully everyone is ok, if anyone needs anything please call me. We lost tv and Internet (posting this from my phone) here but still have power.
Today is a great opportunity for everyone to do service to help others. I am not going to call everyone together as a collective group as the roads are still an issue in many areas.
Any scout who does service today to help others (not at your own house) will receive TRIPLE points towards scout of the month. So that means if you do 3-5 hours you will get 75 points and 6-8 will get 150 points. Since a scout is trustworthy this will all be on the honor system, but please take pictures so we can post them on the site.
As I said earlier. PLEASE reach out to me if there is anything you need.
Storm Advice (Please Read)
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.

Congratulations
I would like to Congratulate the following scout for advancing in rank at last Friday’s Meeting:
David L. – Tenderfoot
Great Job Nugget!!
John Schatz comes through in a HUGE way!!!
John Schatz knew he had a responsibility to collect 25 cans for the canned food drive and knowing his mother worked at Stop and Shop he asked her for help.
Well today because John saw the opportunity to touch upon a great resource he had in his mother, he was able to donate 2 pallets full of food and toys to Catholic Charities.
To top it off the troop gets to keep those crates which will be great for organizing the closet downstairs.
Great Job John!!! Looking forward to tallying up the bonus points towards scout of the month that you get for all of this!
Canned Food Drive Flyer
I created this flyer which you can feel free to use when trying to collect canned food for our drive.
Reminders
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.
