Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements – Apr 28, 2026

One more reminder – our annual swim test at Northside Pool at 630pm next Tuesday, May 5th in lieu of a troop meeting at the church. PLC will meet after the swim test completes; others are free to go when done.

Swim tests and up-to-date medical forms (parts A & B) are required for upcoming rafting and camping trip. Please RSVP at https://forms.gle/ZkRgDc6yYbD3mfMRA or contact John as soon as possible if you want to go and aren’t on the attendee list already. It should be a ton of fun rafting the Falls of James River with RVA Paddlesports and camping at Pocahontas State Park.

Also please RSVP at https://forms.gle/1P9spHHVJBWXKhWi9 for the Scout Night with the Norfolk Tides on Friday, June 12th. Game time is 6:35pm at Harbor Park, with camping on the field after the game. Tickets are $19 each and camping vouchers are $5 each.

Finally, thank you to Chase and Owen (and Kristina) for helping to clean up the wetlands on Newport Ave north of Granby High School this past Saturday. Bad news was there was a lot of trash in the wetlands. Good news is that it looked a lot better when we were done and I saw a heron returning to fish in the freshly cleaned waterway.
