MBC Update.
Hello all,
Merit Badge Challenge (MBC) registration for the Sycamore location opens on October 15th. This is the location that our Troop will attend together on 1/30/16, 2/6/16 & 2/20/16. If these dates do not work for your son, there are other options throughout the city that Mr. Zack can help with information.
At the Troop meeting on Tuesday October 6th, all boys that plan to attend the Sycamore MBC with the Troop will be signing up for their Merit Badges. Attached is more information along with the form. IF boys want to complete the form ahead of time, that is fine, otherwise we will just do this during the troop meeting on 10/6. We ask that he at least spend a little time this weekend looking through the options and trying to decide what he would like to take. If your son is unable to attend the meeting on the 6th, the drop dead date for forms in 10/13. This will give Mr. Zack time to proof and organize the forms in order to attempt to get everyone their first choice when the registration system opens on 10/15. Mr. Zack will take care of ALL registrations for boys going to the Sycamore location, you do not need to do this on your own. Thanks Mr. Zack for taking on this huge task year after year.
Thanks
Oct PLC Meeting date moved
The October PLC meeting is being moved from 10/6 to this Tuesday 9/29. It starts at the 5:45pm as usual. The change is due to a conflict with our Scoutmaster’s work travel schedule.
Reminder: Tonight is Fall Court of Honor
Fall Court of Honor is tonight. Please plan to attend with the entire family and celebrate your Scout’s achievements. Fall is our biggest Court of Honor for the entire year as it recognizes the boys for all their hard work at Summer Camp as well as all rank advancements since May. It will be held in the chapel of MSPC. Scouts should be in Dress Class A’s.
Save the Date: Sept 22 – Fall Court of Honor
September 22 – Fall Court of Honor. This is the biggest Court of Honor for the entire year as this recognizes the boys for all their hard work at Summer Camp as well as all rank advancement since May. Please put this on your calendar now and plan to attend with the entire family.
Reminder: Wear your Class A uniform
School is back in session so we are back in our Class A uniforms. A Class A uniform consists of the uniform shirt, pants/shorts, and socks.
Important Parent Meeting
As I announced at the Summer Camp Family Dinner last Friday, I am having a meeting on July 28th at 7PM.
Here are the details:
WHO: At least 1 parent from each Scout’s Family
WHAT: Madeira Directory & Financial Impact Informational Meeting
WHERE: Madeira Silverwood Presbyterian Church – Sanctuary
WHEN: July 28, 2015 @ 7:00PM (there is no Scout Meeting July 21 OR Aug 4)
WHY: This meeting is to give the Boy Scout Parents of Troop 209 a brief history of the Madeira Directory and its impact on troop operating expenses. In addition, this meeting will discuss the future and possible replacement of the Directory as our fundraiser.
I would greatly appreciate it if at least one parent could attend from each scout family. This is a very important meeting and decisions made at this meeting will directly impact your scout.
See you Tuesday.
Sincerely,
Tom Cross, Troop 209 Committee Chair
No meeting this week
We don’t have a meeting this week. Our next meeting is next Tuesday (7/28). Use this time to clean and put away any gear from summer camp you haven’t already put away. Remember this is your job and not your parents.
June/2/2015 Meeting
Hello,
Our June 2 Troop meeting will be held at the Madeira Swim club 6:30pm-8:30pm. We will be doing the swim test. All boys that are going canoeing and/or going to summer camp and have any intention of getting in the water at camp should attend this meeting to get the swim test completed. Waiting until summer camp to do the test is not ideal as you will be waiting in line with hundreds of other boys. The test won’t take that long and then the boys will have the rest of the time to enjoy the pool. This will be free for members and $2 for non-members (thanks Scott Blackwelder for negotiating a deal).
If your son is unable to attend due to vacation or illness, we will have a makeup date before we go to camp once we know the number of boys that were unable to attend tomorrow.
Thanks,
Brian
