From the celebrated Fundraising Chair, Ms. Amy Simonelli:

A reminder to bring any completed wreath order forms to tomorrow's meeting. Orders that require delivery this upcoming Sunday need to be in no later than tomorrow.

We are in the home stretch! One more week of sales left. I hope everyone is getting out there and selling!

Planning Ahead - Upcoming Events – VERY IMPORTANT

As we come to the end of the year, as a Troop we are looking ahead to 2018. We have a lot of big events in the 2^nd half of the school year. Specific details will be forthcoming.. but…given the nature of the activities we have to plan ahead. Some of the activities require commitments well in advance of the outing. Please pay attention to registration deadlines as event details are announced. For visibility, here are the upcoming activities (in order of registration requirements):

Summer, 2019. High Adventure. Philmont, World Jamboree, both?, others? Yeah, we will be taking deposits and making commitments for this adventure in the next month. More info coming soon.

Jan 12 to 15, Caving in Indiana. This is an awesome event. We did a similar version a couple of years ago and scouts loved it. This year we get to sleep in the Marengo Cave which will be rustic camping, not like the bunks a couple of years ago. This is over MLK weekend to give us extra time, it is a LONG drive. Also, with the planning involved and the reservation confirmations, we need to confirm our numbers early (before the end of year).

Jun 24 to 30, Summer Camp. Just like last year, we need to confirm our numbers by the end of January. You can make a deposit now via our payment site, click here.

Feb 16 to 18, Winter Outing. This is one we will need to finalize registration later in January. The reason… the main morning activity will be 2.5 hours on one of 4 luge tracks in the US (video). A very cool activity, but it sells out so we need to confirm our numbers really early

May 26 to 28, White Water Rafting. Another perennial favorite. To be able to do Caving and White Water Rafting the same year is a pretty special program year. Again, given the reservations, and planning involved early registration is required.
