We are collecting canned goods, rice and toiletries for Senator Joseph Addabbo Jr’s Mother’s Day Food Drive. What’s great about this drive is that most collections occur in the Fall and it’s at this time of year when food pantries run low and supplies are most needed.
Kindly bring in any donations to the next meeting at Trinity on next Friday, May 5.
Date: Apr 28-30
Location:
Schiff Scout Reservation
1606 Wading River Manor Rd
Wading River, NY 11792

This Friday night is Parents Night, we will be talking about summer camp & recognizing the scouts achievements so far.
Scouts arrive at 7p.
Parents arrive at 8p.
We hope to see you there.
This will be May 6th starting at 6P.
The troop picks up the cost for any registered youth who wish to attend. You do need to let Maureen (Brendan’s mom) know at [email protected] NO LATER than April 21st. Any scout who wishes to attend and notifies us that date will have to cover the cost of their plate.
I want to thank the following parents for helping us on Sunday
Khym, Vaisu, Breen
If anyone else has volunteered and your name is not listed, we do not need your assistance on this trip, but thank you for volunteering.
Adults that will be driving, please arrive at Glen Gray by 930a
We only have 1 driver each way who has confirmed they can help on this coming weekend camping trip. Thanks Ruth & Werner.
We still need 3 drivers up and 3 drivers back. Its only an hour trip (give or take)
If we do NOT get enough of drivers, getting your son to and from camp will fall back on the parents & the trip is non-refundable as food has already been purchased.
We don’t ask for much from our parents as usually we have enough of drivers with the adults that are going, unfortunately for this trip, that is not the case.
Any questions direct to Mike
The next trip is March 17-19. We will be going to Glen Grey in New Jersey.
We will be sleeping in a cabin, but some scouts will be sleeping in tents (depending on if they have the requirement yet or not).
The cost of the trip is $20. Payment and signup at Friday’s meeting.
Any questions direct to Mike.
We wanted to take a moment to thank the leaders that made Sea Base possible, without them we would not have been able to take 17 boys. Thank you to: Jim, John, Pat, Mike, Anthony, James & Eric.
Additionally, we would like to thank everyone who attended the trip for their donation, due to the trip overage. With that money the troop was able to purchase 6 tents & 4 first aid kits.
Friday’s meeting will consist of teaching the scouts how to video edit, we will be putting together a video of our trip from Sea Base, so everyone that went PLEASE bring your phone/camera/memory card, so we can add your content to the video.
We have gotten a few requests for pictures, so we wanted to share pictures of each crew & the full troop. There are both a normal & funny picture. These are high res, so you can share/print/use however you like (right click to save)
At the next meeting we will teach the scouts how to video edit & we will make a Florida Sea Base 2017 video, with the content they shot. So please remind your son’s to bring any photos or videos they took to the next meeting.
Tonight’s meeting is from 7-830. We are ending early because a large amount of the troop is leaving in the morning for Florida.
There is also a committee meeting at 7p.
Lastly, tonight is class b uniforms.
