Our theme of renewed
focus on advancement and reinforcement of scouting basics continues this month
and in march, and we’ll be working at the next two clubhouse meetings on
requirements from Tenderfoot to First Class.
All scouts will participate
and renew their knowledge of the basics of scouting.
We’ll continue this
focus in March. Our senior scouts and Eagles will be working with Mr. Chase and
Mr. Nardo through use of the EDGE method to demonstrate and enhance these
necessary skills.
If your son is
Scout/Tenderfoot/Second Class/First Class please get him to the meetings and
events so he can advance. If he can’t make a meeting or event, please email us
at troop2weymouth@gmail.com so we
can keep track and follow up.
February is also the
month when we observe Scout Sunday –Catholic observations were held at St
Alberts Church on Sunday February 3rd, and will be held at The First Church
Weymouth Heights on Sunday February 10th. As a reminder, the First
Church has been a long and steadfast supporter of our Troop, and kindly offers
us and the Pack use of their hall for Gym Nights and our Court of Honor. All
scouts are strongly encouraged to attend in support of these institutions and
to show reverence, an important part of the Scout Oath and Law.
We are also planning
an indoor camping event where advancement skills will be included. If your son
is working toward rank advancement, from Scout right through to Eagle, please
get him to these events and to every scout meeting in February and March.
Attendance is a critical factor in a scout’s achievement success.
Finally, as we’ve
discussed at the Troop Committee Meetings, we have several events each month in
conjunction with Troop 92 to direct our energies toward a successful joint
summer camp at Cliff Island. These are shown on our calendar with the (T2/T92)
indicator.
As always, if you
have any questions or concerns, please contact us at troop2weymouth@gmail.com
