Our annual good turn “Scouting for Food is this Saturday to place door hangers and Nov 12 for pick up. We will be meeting both Saturdays at the NH American Legion at 10 AM. This Saturday should take an hour to 90 minutes. Following the pick up on the 12th, we plan on going to Camp Kingsley for an overnight. We need a good head count for food purchase. If you are going camping you need to bring $6 to the next meeting. We need drivers for both Saturdays.
Our Wednesday meeting will be at the NH Firehouse on Oxford Rd. Please be there by 6:45 so that we can conduct business prior to the tour. Doug Wilbur’s father in law, Ed Ingersoll has agreed to teach Fire Safety MB. Mr. Ingersoll is a retired Utica Fire Dept. Captain. I would suggest that you print out a Fire Safety work book from the internet and become familiar with the requirements before the visit to the fire house.
This Wednesday is a Court of Honor. We will be awarding MBs and Rank Advancements to almost every scout. We will also be doing our annual Youth Protection Training which is mandatory for all leaders and parents who participate, including driving to events. Refreshments will be served,
Many scouts are in the rears in their monthly dues, ($1/ month). Please have them paid ASAP.
Our District Camporee is Oct 14-16 in German Flats east of Mohawk on Rte. 5s. We need to preregister for this event! I need a good head count on Wednesday. The cost of the event will be covered by the troop treasury. Attendees will need food estimated at $10.

All: We have reserved 3 sites which will accommodate 20 people at Wellsey Island State park for September 23-25. I absolutely need to know if you are planning to go to this great event by the beginning of the troop mtg. thiscoming Wednesday. We are looking into visiting Boldt Castle on Heart Island on Sunday before heading home. This trip requires a special BSA Tour Permit showing the number of scouts, adults and drivers to and from. Please respond to this with a definite yes I am going or no a cannot make it. The troop will cover the cost of the camporee registration, the boat ride to Heart Island and the admission fee to Boldt Castle. You should plan on bringing $12 to cover your food costs to the Sept. 14th mtg. Patrols will be planning, buying and cooking their own meals on this trip. FYI there will be a trading post sponsored by the Longhouse Council at this event.
