Troop 2 Announcements - reminder, Troop Committee Meeting Sunday 6/10, WHC meeting Monday 6/11

Upcoming Events & Reminders

Two important events are planned for this month – all require full uniforms, and are significant opportunities for our Troop to be visible in the community. All scouts are strongly urged to attend these events.

• Our Troop has been asked to participate in the opening ceremonies for the Relay for Life on Friday Evening, June 15^th.  More information will be provided soon. Please check the BLOG for updates

• On June 24^th we’ll be meeting at the East Weymouth Congregational Church to present a plaque to the congregation recognizing our start there over 100 years ago. In addition we’ll be presenting several honors to our Eagle scouts, and their Eagle palms.

Two handouts were sent home on Monday, 6/4 – one document requires a response (RSVP for Camp 2012) to allow time for planning and preparation, the other is an informational document outlining youth member behavior guidelines and expectations.

Please check out the BLOG for other recent announcements, including guidance on electronics and a great photo of our recent Ad Altare Dei recipients, who were honored by Rev. William Salmon at a special mass on Sunday June 3^rd at Immaculate Conception where they were presented with a special ribbon and medal. Congratulations Scouts!
