Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements – Mar 3, 2026

The troop elected Michael to another term as our Senior Patrol Leader tonight. Our Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) will meet this weekend to plan upcoming activities.

We did planning for our parade float and will be preparing materials for it next Tuesday. Please come cheer us on as we march on March 14th!

Finally, last call for University of Scouting this Saturday at ODU. (There are some classes Friday night as well.) This is a great opportunity for all scouts and leaders to grow and learn. Scouts can do rank advancement requirements, take merit badge classes, and attend other youth activities. Leaders have many class choices to pick from, all taught by seasoned scouters. It’s a great networking event as well. Those who have attended in the past have always walked away with useful knowledge that they can apply to our troop’s upcoming activities. Registration is still open at https://scoutingevent.com/596-UOS2026. The cost is very minimal and the location is close by, but if anyone needs help with payment or transportation, please just shoot me a message.

Thanks everyone,

Scott
