Troop 2 Updates



  • 3 Scouts earned their Drum Patches on Nov. 26th and signed the drumhead – congratulations to Michael, Zachary, and Antonio and welcome to the corps.

  • Several scouts completed the First Aid merit badge, which is an Eagle required badge, elements of which are requirements for advancement through First Class. Scouts who did not complete the badge a the Nov. 26th meeting should follow up with Mr. Chase to complete this badge at the Dec. 3rd meeting.

  • Next Monday, Dec. 3rd, there will be a Uniform Inspection. All scouts should report in full uniform, which includes a scout shirt, neckerchief and slide, green pants and a scout web belt.  

  • On Friday, Nov 30th, from 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm the Weymouth Heights Club is sponsoring a Zumba Night at the clubhouse – all are welcome, cost is $6.00 per person.
    
  • All dues should have been paid in November. If you have not paid dues you will not be reregistered with Troop 2 for 2013.
 
  • Scouts began work on Nov. 26th on the Family Life merit badge, which is required for Eagle Scout, with Mr. Kelley. At our meeting Dec. 17th scouts should report with a list of the 5 chores they’ll be tracking for 3 months, and should plan, and if possible, complete the family meeting for Requirement 6, detailed below. If you complete the family meeting, please bring a note to the meeting.


6. Do the following:
Plan and carry out a family meeting to include the following subjects:

1. Avoiding substance abuse, including tobacco, alcohol, and drugs, all of which negatively affect your health and well-being
2. Understanding the growing-up process and how the body changes, and making responsible decisions dealing with sex
3. Personal and family finances
4. A crisis situation within your family
5. The effect of technology on your family

Discussion of each of these subjects will very likely carry over to more than one family meeting.
