I was able to finally get confirmation from the Three Fires Council that the spring flower fundraiser is still going on.  Attached below is a picture of the form and pricing. The digital form is not accurate so we will go with this one for the time being.  If anyone is feeling ambitious you can try to pad your scout account while we are on hiatus. All profits raised from this fundraiser will go into your scout account.  The profit margin is 20% of the product price.  For example  each flower flat is $20.00 (48 flowers per flat). The cost per flat to the troop is $16.00.  The other $4.00 of that is profit for the scouts.  If you wish to participate or have questions please let me know.

 

Thanks

Over the next weeks the two primary merit badges that I want everyone to seriously consider looking into and beginning are the First Aid merit badge and the Reading merit badge. The Reading merit badge is a straightforward badge that any scout from any year can get within a week or two. With everyone being home and unnecessary travel discouraged, reading a good book may be a great way to "escape" from this situation for a little while.  

Because you have a few more camp-outs and outings under your belt you have the ability to continue down the road with fewer obstacles. Listed below is what we were going to be practicing on at tonight's meeting and next Monday's meeting. Please remember when you're reading the scout book it will always say demonstrate, discuss, or show examples of.   Discuss and showing examples of something are easy enough but for demonstrating it may be a little more difficult. If you send video or photos of you tying knots for instance we can check off on it and as long as you can show examples of practical use we can "sign off" on requirements.  

 

More to come latter on.

Thanks

2f. Demonstrate tying the sheet bend knot. Describe a situation in which you would use this knot.

This will be the first of many letters and notices I'm going to be sending out over the next 48 hours. 

 

The first letter is a request from St. Marks Church.

 

The Bible study group that meets at the same time that we do has a request from us. If any of the people at the P.L.C. (the 6pm to 7pm meeting) on Monday was sick or gets sick in the next week or so please let me know.  A few of there members are in the high risk area and needs to know ASAP if anyone falls ill.  At this time there main concern is the Virus but it is still cold and flu season.  I don't think anyone at the meeting has anything to worry about.   We are trying to be double sure and careful.

 

Thanks

Good evening everyone 

 

This letter is going to be a long one so stick with me to the very end because there is a lot to talk about.  

 

Using all the available information that I have gathered over the past 24 hours troop one will be suspending physical meetings and moving to a digital platform. As I dust the cobwebs off of plan C in our catalog of ideas please stay tuned for tonight's scoutmaster summary for all the details. It's going to be a lot so keep a heads up.
