2 min read

September was a blur! Between Camporee, popcorn, service and advancement, our Scouts packed a lot into the month. A special congratulations to our Scouts who tackled the 20-mile hike—a huge accomplishment and huge thank you to Ms. Morgan & Mr. Holtkamp for making it happen!

We’re looking forward to another busy month in October, with plenty of opportunities for our Scouts to learn, advance and get outside.

NOTE: Be sure to check the Troop calendar here & your email the week of each troop meeting to track any changes.

NOTES:

We Need Your Support!
To keep our campouts and events running smoothly, we rely on all of our families to pitch in. When just a few carry the weight, it’s tough to keep the momentum going. Please take a moment to reach out to a troop leader so we can plan ahead and keep offering these awesome experiences for our Scouts.

Reminder: Always CC Another Adult in Scout Communications
As a reminder, whenever a Scout and a leader communicate via email, it is essential to always CC another registered adult or a parent/guardian. This practice is a core part of Scouting’s Youth Protection guidelines.
Report YPT Violations: call or text 1-844-SCOUTS1

BSA Medical forms are found here - youth & adult participants need forms A & B for overnights less than 72 hours + part C (signed by doctor) if more than 72 hours.
