I am very pleased to announce that the Troop now has a scout who will be the webmaster.
Phillip took the role and will be posting information and updates all year long on the website.
If you want to have something posted on the website please send it to Mike at [email protected] and he will get it over to Phillip.
So going forward most of the posts will come from Phillip (pschlesinger), but feel free to still reach out Mike at any time as he will still be posting updates as well.
Congrats Phillip!

All Parents and Committee Members attendance at our first committee meeting (Tomorrow Friday 9/14/12) is needed to go over the plan for the year.
We will also go over some changes in the way we are going to operate and discuss the needs we have.
It is at 730P at Trinity.
See you all there.
Any questions or concerns please call/text/email Mike
I am happy to announce that the calendar for the 2012-2013 scouting year is now fully up.
It is not carved in stone, but any changes that come up will be adjusted accordingly.
We will provide all the parents with a hard copy of the calendar at our parents meeting (9/14/12), which you should have gotten a notice in the mail about.
Please let Mike know if you did not receive something in the mail (was just sent to parents of scouts and not other adult troop members).
See you all soon!
For a bunch of you this will be the first email you are getting from the Troop 106 website, for those of your who get these all the time please disregard.
We noticed that a bunch of you were not getting emails although we thought they were going on. We came to find out that the google group which we thought was getting fed to the website actually wasn’t. All new members had to be added to the database connected to the website. This is where the problem was.
Going forward you will get all emails that are sent from the website. Thank you for being patient and we apologize for the technical difficulties.
Kindly email Mike at [email protected] if this is the first email you have gotten so he knows all that were added were done so correctly. Thanks.
Yesterday we got the good news that we will be able to use the church to meet again for this coming scout year. So, we are going to need to get everything we put into storage, out of the locker and bring back to the church.
We need everyone to meet at Trinity on Friday @ 4P in work clothes. We will then proceed to the storage place.
We also need volunteers with vehicles to transport both the scouts to the storage place and room to bring them back along with all the stuff currently located there.
If you have any questions please Call/Email/Text Mike
