Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements – Apr 23, 2024

We need more scouts! Please share the good news about Troop 5 with your friends in person, on Facebook, on NextDoor, etc. As you know, we have lots of exciting activities planned and are happy to answer any questions your friends may have.

We had a successful hike on the Appalachian Trail this past weekend (see Facebook group for some photos) and are full steam with planning our May 17-19 canoeing trip. Please RSVP here if you have not done so already: https://forms.gle/bnzJXm1jy75ki5oP9. Adult leaders – if you prefer to kayak rather than canoe, please let myself and/or Kristina know.

Everyone (scouts and adults) participating in the canoe trip MUST have taken a swim test on or after May 20, 2023. We are planning to meet at Fleet Rec Park 12 pool at 5:00pm on Tuesday, May 7th to conduct swim tests for those who need them. This can also count as swim test renewal for summer camp. If you cannot attend this swim test and your current swim test is not current, you must make other arrangements to get this done before going on the canoe trip. If you are not sure of your swim test status or need help arranging a test on your own, please let me know. This canoe trip will be a lot of fun – make sure you don’t miss it!

The PLC meets this Sunday at noon at the Malleck’s garage. Adult leaders please stay tuned for a possible call for shed roof repair work this weekend.

Thanks everyone,
Scoutmaster Scott
