Our own Rein Olvet has been inducted into the Heritage Society for the Jack Kohler  Suanhacky Campership Asociation. There will be a dinner hosted by the Kohler’s (both Anthony Zalak & myself sit on their board of directors) to honor Rein & a great bunch of other scouters as well.

Rein has given of himself to Troop & Pack 106, for almost the whole time we have been in existence. I would love to see 2 – 3 tables of support for him.

The Jack Kohler-Suanhacky Campership Association provides camperships to Queens scouts to help bring down the cost of Summer Camp. This organization has given Troop 106 Scouts support for years.

Lisa, I & baby bump would love to see you there.

Tomorrow we will be taking part in the annual 9/11 memorial in Juniper Valley Park.

All Scouts are REQUIRED to be in full Class A uniform.

Meet at the Church at 645p.

Anthony will be the point person, as I will be attending another memorial at Forest Hills Volunteer Ambulance Core with a few of our scouts, and then catching up with you all later.

I need an adult to take point on this trip as I will not be able to attend. We will meet at the church at 4p and then head out to Coney Island.

Thanks in advance for your help.

As some of you may know, when that building fell in the East Village a few months back after the huge explosion, one of the 2 people that died was an Eagle Scout.

A group of us Eagle Scouts have arranged to have a shadow box made of all his scouting achievements, to give to his mother.

This is where I need your help. I have secured the shadow box, flag (which will be used as a backdrop), and all his awards, patches and merit badges. I need someone who can sew the patches and such, onto the flag.

If you have a family member or friend who would be willing to help, I would really appreciate it. It is about 35 pieces in total that would need to be sewn onto the flag.

Thanks in advance for your help.

For those of you who still wish to go to Luna Park, but did not get earlybird tickets, Matt Butler has one he’d like to sell.

Also they are deals currently on both Groupon and Living Social for the same wristbands if you’d like to purchase them.

Sep 11 – September 11th Memorial @ Juniper Valley – ALL HANDS ON DECK – Scouts in full Class A – Meet at Trinity – Time TBA (schedule says 7, may change)

Sep 25 – Parents Meeting – ALL PARENTS REQUIRED TO ATTEND – 7p @ Trinity. Scouts will have their first full meeting as the parents meeting is going on.

Oct 9-12 – First Camping Trip – TMR – Including Rafting/Canoeing – $60 –
****Money due NO LATER than Sep 25.***
PLEASE remember that if you/your son are not paid 2 weeks out of the trip you will not be able to attend. Also, there will be no refunds going forward. The only exception to this would be to attend a funeral. This applies to everyone. The small group of volunteers that along with the youth make this troop possible, appreciate you understanding why we had to put this into place.

NO ELECTRONICS are allowed at camp, that means no cell phone, iPads, gameboy’s, etc.

The only exceptions I will allow are: a camera (not the camera in an iPhone/cell phone) or an AM/FM radio.

If the scouts are seen with any electronics, they will be taken and not returned until the end of the second week of camp, to said scout’s parents.

Due to the fact that we are still waiting on 3 scout’s schedule & 8 scout medicals we are instituting a new policy. This will be re-iterated in September, at the parents meeting.

Money & Paperwork for ANY Troop 106 event is due NO LATER than 2 weeks in advance. In the case that we do not have everything that is required, your son’s will not be allowed to attend.

It is unfair that a large amount of the parents operate on their own accord, not taking into account the work of others that go into providing our scouts with a quality program.

Any questions direct to Mike or Pat

They are both due today, unless I have spoken to you previously.

PLEASE do not make me have to chase you.
