The Winter Camporee will be Jan 20th-Jan 22nd. It will take place a Baiting Hallow scout Camp out east. There is a chance for snow, so you should prepare for the unpredictable weather. All scouts must hand in their permission slips when we meet at the church to leave. We will leave friday night at 6pm, there we will meet up and get the carpooling set up. Everyone should have a fun and safe trip.
For the holidays we are going to be making stocking with little toys inside. What you buy should be around 5-10 dollars. You can find things at the dollar store or cvs. You and your patrol will meet up and make the stocking to hand in next meeting.
For thanksgiving we will be donating pies to the Smithtown Emergency Food Pantry. The frozen pies need to be dropped off at the church on Monday November 14th during the meeting. Try to get a pie because they will be given to people who cant afford a thanksgiving dinner.
Our troop will be having it annual wreath sale. Each scout is required to make at least 6 wreaths. The wreaths will be sold for $15.00 each. If you need more you can call Tom Perino. You can get more wreaths after if needed. You will have to decorate the wreaths when you get them. Fundraisers are important because they help pay for trips and summer camps. 50% of the money will go to your scout account and the rest will go to the troop.
We will be going to Webelos woods (Baiting Hollow Scout camp) November 4-6. We will be meeting at the church at 6pm on Friday. Don’t forget to bring you medical forms! You will need them when you get there. This will be one of the colder campouts so you should layer up. The scoutmaster will be providing transportation to and back from the camp. You must be at the church to get a ride. We will be traveling in our class A’s. This will be a pull up camp so you don’t have to pack too light. You will need a bagged lunch for Saturday. Remember to call you patrol leaders for more information.
P.S. I’ve added a new page full of all the campouts for the year. I will be constantly updating the page. It is on the right side of the page and under resources. If you have any problems finding the link post a comment in the comment section.
