- ELIAS: Elias Csipkay is in the
hospital (Centrastate) with a collapsed
lung and is awaiting surgery. While the Troop is sending a card, let’s
shower him with get well wishes…his home address is 444 Adelphia Rd.
Freehold, NJ 07728. I will update the troop as I get more information.
- MOVING: We have been accepted at
the Adelphia Firehouse on Adelphia Rd, and they have agreed to be our
charter organization….What does that mean? We will slowly start the
transition to have all meetings at this firehouse. The committee believes
that this facility is a much better fit for our Troop and will allow us to
be closer to Pack 150 regularly. Our Next Scout meeting and those going
forward will be at the FIREHOUSE.
- GROWTH: We are over the moon that
9 young men from Pack 150 have committed to joining us for the upcoming
scout year. The Blue & Gold is 2/24…so expect to see new faces and
families to welcome aboard.
- CAMPING: our next trip is 3/24-3/26
at the Buckstown Cabin in Whiting, NJ… This is a heated cabin, indoor
bathrooms and last year was an amazing weekend of comradery, cards, axis
& allies and amazing food…we will have NRA firearm instructors onsite
for the scouts who would like to shoot. Price looks like it will be about
$40.00 per scout with an additional $5.00 for those who would like to shoot
for supplies (Ammo & Clay) permission slip will be forthcoming. No one
has to shoot, it is there if you want to…you can have a perfectly awesome
time without picking up a firearm.
- Class B Shirt order: This will
happen shortly, please be on the lookout.
- Scout Closet: as we have a ton of
new scouts…this is the perfect time to bequeath scout stuff, hiking boots
etc that is too small to the next generation.
- Parent meeting: we need to have a
parent meeting and will do so as part of the committee meeting in March.
- Summer Camp: We are booked for Ockanickion Scout Reserve again
this year for July 23rd
through July 29th.
- www.ockanickon.org
- Pipersville,
PA (Near New Hope, PA)
- A
swim test will be scheduled at he
YMCA for the troop to complete this requirement before we go. Completing
the swim test is mandatory to swim at camp or attend any trip through the
year that involves canoeing or rafting. TBD
- We
will be determining how much adult support we will need if you are
interested in volunteering please contact Ally. Adults will be staying
either full week or half week…I’m sorry there will be no drop in adult
visits this year (with the exception of Eagle Scouts) as we have new scouts coming who may feel homesick and
more so by your visit to your scout)
- Physicals
are due to the scoutmaster by July 1st. See
the BSA
official site for "Annual Health and Medical Record" Forms.
(Use the "long form", for "campouts over 72
hours". Your physician fills in Part C.)
- Fees: There are a few prices available to you. The
troop receives a discounted rate as we return to Ockanickon each year. There
has been no markup this is the rate due Ockanickon.
