Troop 209 Families:

I was hoping to not have to send this note, but due to the circumstances of the last couple days all scouting activities will be suspended until Madeira schools are back in session.

The camp-out this weekend is cancelled due to the decision by the council to close the Dan Beard camping facilities based on the request of the Ohio governor to limit larger gatherings and close schools for the next few weeks.

I sent an earlier note to those buying food in case they had not been shopping. If you already have purchased food for this weekend, please try to return the items that you can. If they are not returnable, the troop will reimburse you for those costs.

Troop meetings will be suspended until schools are back in session. We will send an update at that time on plans.

Our mulch program will continue as planned. Please get out and sell mulch! All orders are still due by 3/24, but they can be dropped off as you receive them. Mulch forms and money can be dropped off to:

Stephanie Carpenter

There will be a plastic tub on the front porch. Mulch delivery day will continue on April 4th! Under the current circumstances, if you or your scout are not comfortable knocking on the door to sell mulch, it is ok to drop off the mulch and directory forms in mailboxes.

Any other items – summer camp forms/reimbursements/financial items – can be dropped off at the Kyser household

I will still be traveling for work during the week for March/April.

Thank you for your understanding with the evolving situation. Enjoy the extra time with your families and everyone stay safe.
