MEETING MINUTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

10/26/26 Meeting Minutes

• Another great evening with some hoops! Congrats to James S for Tenderfoot rank! Looking forward to the future meals you create!

• November Outing (Feast in the Forest) - This amazing event is coming up! Feast in the Forest is an annual family-friendly event mixed with campout where the scouts spend the day preparing a FEAST for the friends and family of our scouting troop AND pack 50. The cost will be $8 per person. As any other campout, we will need leader's to volunteer for the overnights. Please sign up HERE.

• IMPORTANT! BSA Scout Registration: Hopefully, everyone has been getting emails to re-register their scout. PLEASE DO THIS ! The deadline for this is October 31st. Here are a list of Scouts that do NOT have their registration completed:

  • CJ V

  • Frank T

  • Patrick S

  • James S

  • Mario R

  • Sam P

  • Ewan P

  • Martin N

  • Cameron M

  • Tilden K

  • Graeme G

  • Titus C

  • Michael B

  • William B

    Remember, without an active Scouting registration, scouts can NOT participate in Scouting activities. We will try to send out a follow-up email in a few days because this is a rather large list!

10/19/26 Meeting Minutes

• The Scouts had a blast this evening! Ever playing basketball with SOCKS on? It's wild.

• November Outing (Feast in the Forest) - This amazing event is coming up! Feast in the Forest is an annual family-friendly event mixed with campout where the scouts spend the day preparing a FEAST for the friends and family of our scouting troop AND pack. We will share a few more details, such as cost and hours, when we get a bit closer to the event. For now, mark your calendars for Nov 14th for a good time!

• 2027/28 High Adventure - We have begun polling for a possible high adventure. We are just collecting information, no official voting has begun. We look like to hear from everyone (Adults AND Scouts). Please inform us of your opinion at an upcoming meeting.

• Learning ASL with Clark - The scouts have a rare opportunity they can take advantage of, if they are willing. One of our local Leaders (Clark Corogenes) is offering to teach the scouts ASL (American Sign Language) at each meeting. The idea would be for the scouts to take about 6-10 minutes of the meeting to learn just a little bit of this awesome language to help support the hearing impaired. It should be a fantastic learning experience!

• Wreath Sales Fundraiser - A reminder to get those Wreath Sales going! If your scout does NOT have an order form, please get one during a future meeting. Final orders are due 10/26 (one week left!!). Scouts are encouraged to get payment BEFORE ordering wreaths (especially important for door-to-door sales). For each wreath a scout sells, $5 will go towards their Bartle costs. Checks should be made to Troop 50 or Venmo Donn Breshears (@SusanBreshears - Put scout name in comment!). Ensure that the returned documentation includes # of each type of wreath, total #, and scout name.

• Trunk or Treat - Keystone is having their 4th annual Trunk or Treat on October 30th, 5:30-7:30pm in the parking lot. They are asking if we can help support in any way. Attached is a flyer with information and a signup genius for additional help. The scouts will be asked if they wish to participate at the next meeting.

10/12/26 Meeting Minutes

• On Friday Scouts and Adults should meet at the church at 4pm and leave by 430 pm.

• Scouts should bring a packed dinner for Friday evening.

• Keep on selling wreaths!

• Scout renewal time is upon us. It is likely that you are getting emails telling you to re-register your Scout.  Go do that!

• If you are an adult, you may be getting emails to tell you to re-register and update your YPT training. Go do that!  I need to do it too, so pot meet kettle.
