November Updates


Scouts received annual renewal packets on Monday night. Please pay close attention to the dates for re-registration, as our schedule is compressed this year due to the council mergers. All paperwork must be completed, and dues paid, by 11/20.

• Scout membership dues for Troop 2 are $150.00, which covers all registration fees and the ongoing cost of badges and materials.

• Adult membership in Troop 2 requires completion of Youth Protection training every year. Dues for adult registration are $100.00

Your registration includes subscription to the monthly Scouting magazine, and Boy’s Life magazine. 

  
Saturday November 18 - Campout and outdoor activities day at Valley Pines. We will be camping, please dress and pack for the weather.

Members of Pack 2 Webelos will be joining us for the day at VP,  and many will stay to camp for the night.

Scouts are needed to assist with a range of activities during the day, and ALL scouts from the troop are strongly urged to attend for all or part of the weekend. Please see Mr. Chase if you are unable to attend.

Active camping is critical for scouts to progress in rank and is measured as part of our Journey to Excellence as a troop. Many scouts sparsely attend camping events throughout the year, other than summer camp, and this is a barrier to their rank advancement.

Sunday November 19 – 1 PM to 2:30 PM – Youth Protection Training for 2018 registration cycle. Mayflower Council requires YPT renewal on a yearly basis, and this cycle is compressed due to the merger of councils. All adult planning to register or renewing registrations must either attend this in person session or present their certificate of completion for the online module at our meeting on 11/20.

Monday November 20 – Meeting at the clubhouse – reminder, scouts should report with their scout book, pen/pencil, and a notebook. Drum Practice is at 7 PM, meeting starts at 7:30 and ends at 9 PM. Dues for membership renewal must be paid at this meeting.

Monday November 27 – Gym Night

Monday December 4 – Rock Climbing event, details to follow.

Thursday December 7 – Eagle Scout Advisor Program begins – Clubhouse, 7:00 PM – this is a new program, and all life scouts and parents, and anyone with questions on the Eagle scout program and process are welcome to attend. Staff will be available every Thursday evening to meet with scouts working toward this rank, reviewing paperwork, project proposals, and progress.
