Court of Honor this Monday

Just a reminder that this Monday is the Court of Honor, and the meeting starts at 7 PM. It will also be the first of two money collection nights for our product sales. We ask if you can, please bring a check over cash, but if you don’t have a check, that is fine. We are just trying to limit the amount of cash on hand. If you have not collected all your money yet, you can make a partial payment if you wish. We will have a second collection night next week.

Court of Honor Handout

Be sure to check out the Court of Honor handout HERE, the password to open it is T161. We have a few exciting activities coming up for the next quarter, be sure to check out the handout and sign up for these great events.

So what is up with “Flying into the future”?

As all of you may know, the Catholic church will be terminating all charters with the BSA, Troop 161 included and we needed to find a new Chartered organization. After reviewing many options, we felt the best location was the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Assoc) Chapter 828 located on Greenbay Road near Riverbend. There are a lot of exciting details to this and some still to be figured out but we will be moving there sometime after the first of the year. We will cover all this at the Court of Honor on Monday night at St. Rita along with some other important Troop information. Parents be sure to attend.

Recharter time

One thing of note, annually we must recharter the Troop and its membership with the National Boy Scouts of America. The way we handle this is to just charge all youth the basic fees, making Order of the Arrow and Boy Life optional. So, you will see that fee from your account credit soon. If you don’t have that in your account after wreath sales, be sure to settle up your account soon. ADULTS, we ask that you confirm you want to continue for another year. We can not recharter unless you have an updated YOUTH PROTECTION completed as well. If you have multiple memberships (multi-unit) please make us aware of that on the form as well.

That’s all for this week

Mr. F.
