Please be at the church no later than 6P. If you are someone who tends to be late, imagine we are meeting at 530.

Due to the weather (mid 50’s on Friday and mid 40’s on Saturday) we have amended the required uniform. Bring your Class B polo, which we will wear on Friday, along with pants of your choice. Saturday, you can wear whatever you please. Keep in mind that in the morning it will be in the high 30’s, so please pack appropriately.

Also, Scouts must bring a water bottle, mess kit & day pack (Backpack).

A bunch of people have asked about spending money. Considering all the places we are going, $40-50 should be more than ample. Scouts won’t need money for anything planned.

Send scouts with a dinner for Thursday evening as the troop will not be providing dinner.

Here is the list of the 12 boxs which will get bunks. This was based in order of who paid in full first:
Aiden
Sashi
Sal
Mohr
Sammon
Brandon B.
Matt Balsamo
Kyle
Thomas
Khyn
Patrick
Milo

Everyone else, adults included will have to sleep on the floor. You can bring a cot, or sleeping pad. No queen sized air mattresses. Make sure to bring a sleeping bag. Sleeping on the floor without a pad or anything will be a good precursor if you are going to Florida Sea Base, as the night we spend on the desertered island is coral, and one of the most uncomfortable surfaces in the world.

Scouts should have class A uniform, as well as class b polo. In the case your scout has yet to receive one please respond to this email and let us know.

Leaving from Trinity at 6p on Thursday. Returning by 2 on Sunday.

We still need 2 more drivers. We thought some adults might be enticed by the fact that we are having dinner at Cheers, Friday night in Boston.

Any questions direct to Mike

We need 2 drivers to help us.

Email Mike immediately.

Thanks

We have 3 things to remind/tell

1) Tonight is the deadline to signup & pay for the Boston trip. The cost is $120/person. We will likely need some additional adults as we don’t believe we have enough transportation room based on those who have already signed up. See John Coppa to pay

2) The next Florida Sea Base payment is due November 1st, it is $350. See Henry or Anthony to pay for it. (The last payment is due Dec 1 & is also $350)

3) Tonight is the Halloween Party. No uniforms are required. If the scouts want to dress up we will be having a costume contest. Additionally, Anthony will be acting at Scoutmaster tonight.

Any questions feel free to direct towards Mike

I first want to congratulate everyone who participated yesterday in the American flag cleanup.

It was a long and arduous day, but we did it & really brought the flag back to life.

Here is a video I posted on Facebook of the proces:

So, to what made my night. I took a walk just a while ago over to the flag and saw this:

The Boston Trip will cost $120

Sign-up and money need to be done through John Coppa. For our older parents, John is one of our new Assistant Scoutmaster’s that just recently crossed from cubs with his son.

1. Mike will be teaching a video editing course at 6p (before the meeting), please bring your phones and pictures and videos you took on the TMR trip. All are welcome.
2. Our next trip we will be going to Boston (Nov 10-13, Thur to Sun, Veterans Day Weekend). We are finalizing details now, the cost should be between $100-$120/person. Money is due NO LATER than October 28
3. Our flag painting service project is on for Saturday at 10a. If we are unable to finish on Saturday we will finish on Sunday. We need a few ladders, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any questions direct to Mike

I would like to congratulate the following scouts on passing Troop 106’s Leaderships training:

Sal
Steven
Phillip
Brendan S.
Kevin
Matt M.
Sashi
Aiden
Thomas

Great Job guys!

Additional thanks to John Mohr & John Coppa for being there to assist.

For the scouts who have a leadership position (Instructor, Scribe, Webmaster, Patrol leader) and did not attend. Mike will have a makeup course at his convenience (as it takes 3+ hours to administer), if you fail to attend that course you will have to relinquish your leadership position for this scout year.

We are very excited about our upcoming camping trip which will be to Ten Mile River, October 7-10.

There will be two great hikes and lots of fun. We recommend all scouts attend, even new ones.

SLIGHT CHANGE, the trip will cost $30/person, not $25. We miscalculated the cost of food, sorry.

Signup & payment is due at Friday’s meeting

Any questions direct to Mike

Due to in climate weather this coming weekend. The project has been moved back to Saturday October 15.
