Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements – May 27, 2025

Thank you to everyone who attended our meeting and court of honor tonight and congratulations to all scouts who received awards. If you have any questions about summer camp or venturing that were not answered tonight, or come to you later, please feel free to reach out to me (or to Bill Sheedy directly).

Looking ahead, the PLC will host an open meeting at the church during the regular troop meeting time on Tuesday, June 3rd to plan our summer activities. All scouts are invited to attend.

On Saturday, June 7th, we are participating in Clean the Bay Day. Please contact Teasa Glenn to join our cleanup crew for that morning.

We are attending summer camp the week of June 22nd-28th at Camp Bowers near Fayetteville, North Carolina. If you have not yet submitted your payment or medical form, please submit those as soon as possible. Also, if your scout has any dietary restrictions, those need to be entered as soon as possible by parents (not leaders) using the parent portal login provided earlier this year. If you need your parent portal login information to be provided again, please contact me.

On Tuesday, July 8th, we are participating in a “TrySCUBA” experience at Lynnhaven Dive Center in Virginia Beach. Pre-registration is required. Cost is $75 per scout (no adults). Call (757) 481-7949 to book and tell them you are with the scout group on July 8th. Scouts must pass the BSA swim test beforehand. To save time with paperwork that day, please create account for scout at https://my.divessi.com/login with Lynnhaven Dive Center as the training center; parent must then confirm registration via their own email (as provided on form).

Finally, the weekend of August 8th-10th, we are camping and caving near Natural Chimneys Park. RSVP’s are required as we must confirm our booking with our cave guide. Look for an RSVP form coming soon.

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to a fun summer with some scouting in the mix!
