Troop 2 Dec - Jan plans

Upcoming Events

Thanks to the parents and Life scouts who attended our kickoff for the Eagle Scout Advisor Program. As discussed, staff will be available to meet with Eagle candidates from 7 to 8 PM on Thursday evenings, and we will ramp up the program in January. If you have any questions, please see Mr. Chase

December schedule

Monday, 12/11 – Clubhouse meeting - Drum Practice at 7 PM – last chance for a scoutmaster conference for rank advancement

Saturday 12/16 - potential campout at Valley Pines

Monday, 12/18 – Badges, Rank and Cake, plus Holiday party.

There is no meeting 12/25 or 1/1 – Happy Holidays!

Beginning in January we will have a renewed focus on Drumming, with plans to meet on Tuesday evenings for a one hour practice. Please keep an eye out for details.

Reminder – there is no Ski Trip this year due to declining interest. We are exploring a family tubing event, if this is of interest please let us know.

Klondike Derby 2018 – there are two derbies, one geared to Cub Scouts (Webelos)  and one for Boy Scouts  – Mr. Nowiski and Mr.  Aieta  are coordinating a team for both events, and we  need older scout participation both to mentor the younger scouts and to prepare a competitive sled team for the Boy Scout event. We encourage ALL scouts to attend the event to cheer the Troop 2 team on, and remind all scouts that this is part of Scout Spirit as well as an opportunity to complete advancement requirements.
