Tents take down, PLC, Committee Mtg tonight

This trip to Bucks Pocket was one of best with a group of 23 Scouts and 9 leaders. Each patrol outdid themselves with selecting a menu and preparing the meals. Everyone had th opportunity to take the challenge of the sixty and one-hundred -twenty foot rock facing in the morning and the afternoon rappelling. Thanks to Mr. Simon, all of the pictures are posted on the Troop Web Site at this time.

The weather held out with sun and some overcast on Friday and Saturday and only as we were driving out toward home, did we get some rain.

Thanks to all the leaders who attended to make the trip possible and thanks to all the parents for encouraging good attendance to keep the costs reasonable for all.

Tonight, May 17th, is a quartermaster night starting at 6:30 PM. If your son is a quartermaster (see 5/3/10 Court of Honor/scout responsibilities attachment for six months), he needs to be there for less than an hour to take down and store our gear.

If not a quartermaster, and he went on the trip, he should come in for the less than an hour and help out also. The Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol leaders and Assistant Patrol Leaders need to be there also, then remain until about 7:00-8:00 PM to participate in the Patrol leader Conference (PLC) for discussing the trip and for planning out June's activities. Uniforms are not required for quartermaster work or the PLC.

Following the PLC, the Troop Committee will meet for an hour or so to approve the PLC plans for June and to discuss Troop business. If you are not part of the Committee and new to the Troop, feel free to come by and participate and meet everyone. Uniform is not required for the Committee meeting.

Remember that BSA Health forms and summer camp fees are overdue if not complete at this time. Mr. Simon will be present at the PLC and Committee meeting tonight to collect any remaining that are due.

Thanks for all your support and encouraging attendance at Troop activities to assure he and all the boys are getting the most out of the Program...
