Monday Plans 10/17/22
Good morning everyone,
I think this weekend we may have had a first for the troop as we were participating in 3 events: Clemson University’s Fall Merit Badge Day, Leader’s BSA required training over at GOLS, and weekend camp out at the annual Railroad merit badge event in the N.C. Museum of Transportation. Thank you all for the hard work.
Now with everything that we have done lately, I think it’s only fair that we evaluate where we are at in terms of our individual Scout journeys. That is why tomorrow we will be going over each Scoutbook and address everyone’s progress while also taking notes to bring our electronic records up-to-date. Now for this to happen, ALL Scouts must do 1 thing…BRING YOUR SCOUTBOOK WITH YOU. That simple.
Lets look ahead because we still have more events coming up:
1. This upcoming Thursday, I will be taking a few Scouts to Duke Energy’s EnergyExplorium for the Nuclear Science merit badge. Please have your THREE (3) models ready. A separate email will go out later in the week on transportation.
2. Popcorn take order sheets and payments are due on Monday 10/24.
3. October 29th is our annual Haunted Trail event. We ask all Scouts AND Leaders to come help set up in the morning and then return at night to give the Troop & Pack families a howling experience. Sign-up sheet is up at the Scout Hut with 2 columns: one for set up and another for the night event.
4. There will be no troop meeting on Monday 10/31. So if you are working on ranking up, you need to have a Scoutmaster conference by no later than 10/24.
5. The Brunswick Stew fundraiser is from November 4th to the 5th; sign-up sheet to participate is up at the Scout Hut. So far we have sign ups for 70% of all the meats we need and are in critical need of several more meat donations, please refer to the link below to mark off your donation(s):

6. The Warbirds Over Monroe Air Show tickets are still on sale. Interested families that want to join us for the November 12th event, please purchase your tickets here: https://www.eventsprout.com/event/warbirds-over-monroe-air-show-2022
7. Nolan Reid’s Eagle project at Indian Land Elementary School is schedule for Sunday November 13th. Sign-up sheet is also up at the Scout Hut.
8. Webelos weekend is November 19th, participating Scouts should be practicing their knots and lashes in preparation for this event.
9. As stated earlier this week, we have a new fundraising opportunity with the Charlotte Rifle & Pistol Club which requires us to put in some time over the next 7 weekends to help bring an additional source of income for the Troop which will help with our annual expenses. Currently, I have only 15% Scout participation. Folks, I can’t emphasize enough just how important this is for us as an organization that is 100% ran by volunteers. Our first weekend for this event is coming up and we are 4 Scouts short as we need 2 for each timeslot to make this work. Please find some time to sign up and help us out.
