Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements – Nov 5, 2024

Thank you to all parents who attended the information meeting tonight about rechartering. Eric Casey has asked that all adult volunteers complete their annual Youth Protection Training (YPT) no later than November 26th. There is no troop meeting that night so you have time to get it done. Parents can read up on the Tidewater Council membership renewal process by looking through this guide (but don’t follow the process just yet). Eric is asking for all parents to attend the December 10th troop meeting, where we will renew all of our memberships for 2025. Please mark your calendar for that important date.

A reminder for scouts camping this weekend that complete class A uniforms will be required for our visits to the National Parks on Saturday and Sunday. Anyone 16 years and older will need to either bring $15 or a National Parks pass for entry to the parks. (This includes adult leaders.) Scouts 15 years and younger receive free entry. Scouts should also plan to bring fishing gear on this camping trip. We anticipate being able to earn 3-4 awards/badges on this outing. Weather looks good and it should be fun.

Thanks all,
Scott Guirlinger
