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.

TONIGHT is the DEADLINE to pay for Summer Camp

Cost is $395/week (if you are inviting anyone from outside the troop it is $405 + $15)

Checks must be made out to “GNYC”

I will need completed medicals and merit badge schedules by SUNDAY.

UPDATE

******ALSO I need all scouts merit badge schedule by Sunday, Period********

Any questions direct to Mike

I would like to thank Brenadette for stepping up to be the lead for Archery tonight.

Please be to the church at 5P. We will leave promptly at 515.

We still may likely need other parents to provide transport.

We still need other volunteers for the upcoming summer events.

A parent chaperone is still need for tonight’s Archery event. This would entail making sure all of the youth arrive and leave the event as a group and being the liaison with the proprietor. (All other parents are potentially needed as drivers as per usual).

If we do not get a volunteer before 1 pm, the event will be cancelled.

In order for the summer program to continue., Mike is asking that at least one parent volunteers to head each Friday event . The upcoming events are:

July 10 — Minigolf

July 24 — Movie Night

Aug 28 — Coney Island

Please contact Mike at [email protected] if you are willing and able to assist. We really need and appreciate continued parental involvement to help make Troop 106 a success!
