Take down & PLC tonight, NO Meeting Next Monday

The trip to the Walls of Jericho was, as Mr. Lepianka stated, one of our best and certainly challenging with the weather. It was the first time the Troop has made the trip there. We had a total of 38 Scouts and leaders attending with nothing but positives about the trip. with an exception, .all of the new Sharks attended and warmed quickly into the trip its fun and its challenges. Thanks again to Mr. Branin for planning/facilitating the meals and directions to the Walls. Thanks to Mr. Gunn for serving as the follow-on car. There will be more pictures posted on the Troop Web Site when handed off to Mr.Simon tonight at the Committee meeting. Mew parents/leaders are all invited to attend the Troop Committee meeting to meet the Committee and take part in Troop business and in the approval of the PLC's plans.

Tonight is the Troop Patrol Leaders Conference (PLC) where the Senior Patrol Leader (B Garrett), the Assistant Senior Patrol leaders (B Debalsi and J Ellis) and the Patrol leaders (J Kunka: Venture I) Brandon Debalsi: Venture II) (S Hardy Penquians), Z Eldridge:Foxes, N Bolding: Sharks will plan out the Month of June. The Crew Chiefs for the weekend trip and three of their crew that were presnt on the trip, are required to be at the hut tonight also to take down and store our recent trip's equipment and hang the remaining wet gear. Troop and patrol quartermasters, whether they attended the trip or not should be present to assist also...these positions are listed on the recent Court of Honor Leadership List (attached). We expect them to attend and help out even if they did not go on the trip in order to meet and fullfill their obligation for the next six months as leaders in the Troop. We should not be there for more than an hour for the take down, storage, and further hanging of gear.

Tonight the 18th is the take down night, PLC, and the Committee Meeting. Next Monday, the 25th is Memorial Day and no meeting... Monday the 1st of June is a Troop meeting for reviewing the requirements of Summer Camp...


We are still looking for Troop Scout volunteeers and leaders to drive them to the 3:00 PM GAC Veterans Memorial Rembrance Program at the Alabama Veterans Memorial off of the Liberty Park exit, on May 24, starting at 3:00 PM and ending in less than 45 minutes...we will need greeters, parts of a color guard, and Scouts who would care to speak about what it means to them to remember the Veterans. Uniform is the Calls A Uniform with sash and Troop neckerchief.

Also remember...no meeting on May 25th in observance of Memorial Day.....and then comes summer camp....it is important for him to be at the May 18th meeting as it will be the only time we talk to camp requirements except for what has been stated and the information found in the Troop Guide and the Greater Alabama Council's Summer Camp now posted, thanks to Mr. Simon, on ur Troop web site.......all of which should be read of reviewed by attending Scouts and Leaders/parents.

Thanks for all your support...
