We get a Troop t-shirt every year, but I’m not sure we’ve ever got a Troop sweatshirt. Since we live in Ohio…it seems to make sense that we should get a Troop sweatshirt! The cost is $40.00 (see attached Hoodie Order Form). I want to get the order in soon, so the deadline is Tuesday, December 6…please let me know by then.

Each year, Troop 209 supports this annual Madeira tradition by tending the fire, handing-out juice boxes/cookies, managing the carriage rides line, and loading/unloading the passengers from the carriages. The event happens in the plaza in front of the train depot. We need both scouts and adults to make this happen!
Please email the scoutmaster for the sign-up sheet!
What: December “lock-in”
Where: Camp Friedlander Youth Staff Cabins and Scene 75
When: December 9-10
Our “lock-in” is going to be bigger and better this year. We have moved it from the church out to Camp Friedlander. We will stay in the camp staff cabins where our favorite counselor “tent” during summer camp. Each cabin has heat but we still need to pack carefully. The heat will not be like what we are accustomed to at home. I think each cabin might be in the upper 50s. So be sure to pack a sleeping bag with appropriate cold-weather clothing!
Our schedule will be setting up camp in the cabins and then driving out to Scene 75 in Milford for a couple of hours of indoor gaming. Each scout will have $25 of Scene 75 credit to spend as they please. Afterward, we will return to Camp Friedlander for a pizza dinner. Saturday morning we will eat breakfast and begin work on our service project. This year will be constructing 600 sandwiches for the non-profit organization—Our Daily Bread. 400 sandwiches will be meat/cheese, while 200 will be peanut butter and jelly. The Troop will be providing the sandwich supplies…the scouts will become the “chefs”. The consent and waiver form is due Tuesday, December 6, 2022.
The consent form can be found in the link below.
This is a reminder that tonight MPSC is being used as a voting location. Scouts please enter through the front doors tonight to avoid walking through the polling location in the fellowship hall.
Thursday 9/29, 5:15pm, MSPC: We will be taking the trailer out to camp on Thursday to ease the logistics for arriving on Friday evening. There will be a large number of scouts arriving at Peterloon on Friday night, with lots of activity; so Council allows troops to start setting-up their camps on Thursday evening. Setting-up camp ahead of time will allow our Scouts and AOLs to settle in Friday night and not be fighting the other troops/scouts/buses/daylight once we arrive. So what that means:
a. I would encourage all scouts/adults attending to get your personal gear to the trailer on Thursday, so you don’t have to manage carrying that heavy load onto the transport buses. Whatever you don’t get into your primary bag on Thursday, can be put into a backpack/daypack and/or carried with you on Friday.
b. I’ll need 1-2 additional adults and 3-4 older scouts to pack the trailer with the troop gear we’ll need (plus personal gear); then to go with me out to Cub World on Thursday. At a minimum, we would like to get the garage and kitchen area set-up, as well as potentially get the tents set-up in the proper locations. Please let me know if you can help out Thursday night!
Due to a positive COVID case within the troop and other factors, the Marengo cave campout has been postponed. Please refer to Mr.Cissell’s email for more details.
Happy mother’s day to all the women in our lives that helped to make us the young men we are today.

With Madeira Schools going remote, so are we. Look for the Zoom link in the email from Mr. Cissell. The Troop is covering the Cooking Merit Badge (Eagle required).
