Gather the patrol
This week we will be having PATROL meetings instead of a Troop meeting at St. Rita. Each patrol leader should be calling each of its patrol members and letting them know when and where they will be meeting as a Patrol. If you didn’t get a call, be sure to call your Patrol Leader and find out where you are meeting.
Patrol Meeting with a mission
The plan for the Patrol meeting is to work on the projects we discussed at the PLC meeting in December. You can get an idea of what they are by checking out this youtube video. You should also work on your patrol menu for the Christmas campout too, bring a good meal idea you can cook with your patrol.
Christmas Campout
THANK YOU very much for those of you who have signed up for events ONLINE, as this helps us get rolling for things like the campout. With the cancelation of last week’s meeting, it has made it much more difficult to plan some things for upcoming events, if you have not done so and are planning on attending the campout, be sure to sign up ONLINE, it is greatly appreciated.
Philmont Payment
Just a heads up that the next Philmont Payment will be due February 10, the next payment will be $350. Be a thrifty Scout and save up!
Last Call for Philmont Scouts
With the next payment we will have to decide if we will have one or two crews. Right now we are at the cusp of that decision. If you know anyone who might be interested, we have to know by February 10th and have cash in hand. If we go to two crews, we will need more adults too. Anyone in? If we don’t get more adults, we can NOT go with two crews.
Our Next Troop meeting is January 20th, lots of fees due, don’t miss em!
Just a reminder that our next Troop meeting at St. Rita will be January 20th, there will be several things that are due on the 20th, when you check your Court of Honor handout, make sure you look at what was due on Jan 6th and 13th as we are allowing those fees to be passed on to 20th at the reduced rate. In allowing this, we will not be able to extend the final deadline on those events, we have to get fees to the right places.
Thanks
That is it for this week!
