Let Mike know by Friday’s meeting

I want to recognize two of our scouts who this morning before school went out and helped their neighbors by shoveling.

Both Brendan S. & David L. made a big impact on someone else’s day. Great Job GUYS!!!

Unfortunately we were unable to find a camp with cabins that could accommodate us for this trip. So in lieu of it being a camping trip, we are going to make it a day trip.

The cost of the trip is as follows:

$30/person if you are going skiing

$32/person if you are going snowboarding

This includes Lift Ticket, Rental & Lesson.

Trip will be Saturday Feb 8th.

Money is due at this coming Friday’s meeting & you MUST bring a completed copy of Ski Trip Parental Sign-off otherwise the scout will NOT be able to attend.

More specifics to come once we have a total head count.

Any questions, speak to Mike.

PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE EMAIL

1) We will be meeting at the church at 6p, Sharp. Please!

2) Scouts do NOT need their uniform

3) ALL SCOUTS MUST bring their scout book

4) We have been told that there is an issue with cots, some of them being broken. We are trying to get remedied but since our motto is BE PREPARED we are asking Everyone to bring a cot or air mattress if you have one.

5) Here is the address for the gps’s: 435 Welcher Ave, Peekskill, NY

6) Written directions:

Blue Mountain Reservation – Directions

Blue Mountain Reservation is located in Peekskill, NY.

From the North:

 Route 84 to Route 9 South (exit 13).

 Continue South for 25 minutes till you come to Annsville Circle.

 Stay on Route 9. You will go around the circle and over a bridge, and

then a right turn. (This is still Route 9).

 Take this to Welcher Avenue Exit and at the bottom of the ramp make

a left.

 Continue to 1/4 mile to 4 way intersection and go straight.

 This is the entrance to Blue Mountain Reservation.

From the South:

 Cross over the Tapan Zee Bridge.

 Exit 8A is the Saw Mill River Parkway North.

 Take this to the Taconic North (exit 26 I believe)

 Take the Taconic to Route 9A/Route 100 exit.

 Follow Route 9a North, In Croton on Hudson it will merge with Route 9,

continue North.

 Exit at Welcher Avenue and at the bottom of the ramp make a right.

 Continue straight at the next intersection into Blue Mountain

Reservation.

I ordered this as a Christmas present for someone and had a few extra made (figuring there might be some interest).

If you are interested in purchasing one they cost me $20/each.

They are flex-fitted (stretchy in the back).

I have 3 in size M/L and 3 in size L/XL

Email me if you want one.

We will be having a mandatory parent/leader training that will go on Friday January 31st @ 7p at Trinity. We are strongly requesting the attendance of all parents & leaders.

The troop will be going on a ski/snowboard trip Feb 7-9.

The cost will be $50/person (covers cabin rental, food for the weekend, lift ticket, ski or snowboard rental, lesson)

We need to get a idea of how many people are going no later than Wednesday evening in order to make a tentative reservation with the place & make a cabin reservation.

Please respond to this immediately and let Mike know if you are planning to attend & also how many (ie. if Eric & Phillip wanted to go let me know it would be 2 of you).

Thanks.

I want to recognize 3 scouts who were helpful to their neighbors today. Great Job Sal, Matt M, & Ryan.

If any other scouts help a neighbor please send me a pic so we can add it to this post

Two thumbs up guys!!!

The third point of the scout law is Helpful.

What a better way to be helpful, than on this snow day to help those shovel who may be a bit older or sick and not able to do it themselves.

If you do help a neighbor please take a photo and send it to Mike to be posted on the website.
