It has been mandated by BSA that every adult involved with the Troop, leaders & Committee members, take the Youth Protection Training. Please go to the link with your BSA Id number and take the online course. At the end printout your certificate and give it to Mrs. Long. The Troop is required to have records of everyones participation in the program, and your cooperation is appreciated.

Summer Camp 2010

I know some of you will think that it is a little early to be thinking about Summer Camp but we would like to try and offer the troop some options. Here is a link to the Cape Cod & Islands Maritime Trek flyer from last year. I can't guarantee that the format will be exactly the same, but it should be similar. They only offer this program weeks 2&3 which are July 11-17, 18-24. So we need to know how many are interested in this, and which week is preferred so we can make the reservations, find leaders, and arrange vacation times. Please let either Joe Weber or Ken Harper know you interest as soon as possible. Thanks!

VFW Flags for Fallen Vets

The VFW has asked for our help with the placing of 5,800 flags to honor Fallen Veterans.

Saturday November 7, 2009, at State Veterans Cemetary in Middletown. We will meet at the Cemetery at 8am. We will remove the flags on Saturday November 14th.

Advancements Must be Submitted Online by Mrs. DeMore

Council has instituted a new policy that all advancements (rank, merit badges and awards) must be recorded through the Council's internet advancement system, which means they must go through Mrs. DeMore, who has access to the site. Once they are entered online, Mrs. DeMore must print a report, sign it, and deliver it to Council in order to pick up the badges. No badges can be purchased at the store without the appropriate signed report.
