The District FALL CAMPOREE is scheduled for October 13-15 at the Town of German Flatts Town Park on Rte. 5s east of Mohawk. Patrol leaders should plan on creating a menu and get a list of equipment at this week’s scout meeting. The theme of this event is Iron Chef, so a innovative menu should be considered. The troop will cover the cost of registration. You should figure $12 for food. We will need an accurate head count on Wednesday so that I can preregister.

All: This is a reminder that Wednesday night we will be holding our fall Court of Honor and parent’s night. Besides recognizing the scouts for their achievements, we will be inducting a new member and doing our Youth Protection Training which is required annually by National BSA. Please make every effort to be at this important meeting!

ALL: We will be leaving for the International Brotherhood Camporee in Morrisburg Ontario, Canada on Friday for the weekend. At this point, we have 4 adults planning to attend. We have 5 seats for scouts. I believe 7 scouts showed interest in going. We will need at least one more adult who is willing to stay for the weekend. We will be making final plans next Wednesday at the Troop meeting. The cost is $12/ person for food.

This is a reminder that Scout meeting start this Weds Sep 13 7-8:30 at Myles. We would like to recruit a few more scouts so bring a friend. We have a lot of activities this fall, please take a look at the calendar on the website.

We had originally scheduled the leaders kick off meeting for Weds Aug 23.  Due to a conflict, this important meeting is being moved to Monday August 21 at 6pm at the Obernesser residence 5027 Albrecht Rd Rome NY.  We will be setting up the annual calendar of events, looking at a MB schedule etc.   This meeting is open to all leaders and parents.  The SPL,  ASPL and PL are also welcome.  I will need a good head count by Fri August 18.  I will provide meat, rolls, drinks and condiments.  Attendees are requested to bring a small dish to pass or desert.  Please RSVP

Thanks
