Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements – Aug 19, 2025

It was exciting to have a few visitors tonight. Tell your friends and let them know about all the fun things that Troop 5 is doing this school year. We will distribute printed calendars at our beach picnic and court of honor next week.

Speaking of which, next Tuesday is just that – our beach picnic and court of honor celebration at Community Beach Park immediately across Ocean View Ave from the church. We will arrive as early as 5:00pm for some beach games and fun followed by picnic around 6:00-6:30 with court of honor to start at 7:00pm. Please everyone sign up to help bring sides and such here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/409084CACAE2DA5FA7-58058752-beach (Burgers and hot dogs will be provided by the troop.) Please also bring your own chair if possible since seating is rather limited. Scouts should dress in whatever they like for the beach fun and picnic, but please be sure to bring and wear your Class A uniform for the court of honor.

Popcorn sales kicked off tonight. Our first show and sales are this weekend. Please see full popcorn sale details on our website at https://www.troop5norfolk.com/2025/08/19/popcorn-time-2025/ and contact Shayna with any questions.

Scouts who did not complete their Personal Fitness and Music merit badges at summer camp have been assigned to local merit badge counselors to finish those. Look for more details coming soon on when those counselors will visit our troop in September.

Finally, congratulations to Connor for earning his First Class rank and Owen for earning his Life rank tonight. Well done scouts; we look forward to your leadership in the months to come!

Yours in Scouting,
Scott
