Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements – Apr 29, 2025

Thanks to everyone for attending the swim test tonight. In further preparation for summer camp in June, please remember to (1) get your medical form parts A, B, and C completed by a physician and submitted to the troop, and (2) review the pre-requisites for any merit badges you are taking: https://scoutingevent.com/Download/425150146/OR/Bowers_Program_Guide_v1.pdf. We will hold a summer camp information and preparation meeting on Tuesday, May 27th before our court of honor that same evening.

The troop is hoping to participate in Clean the Bay Day this year on the morning of June 7th. Please RSVP here: https://forms.gle/baEmqDG2SvaGx33Z9

We had several scouts unable to stay overnight at our planned cycling trip to the High Bridge Trail in May. The PLC has decided to switch this campout to a day outing instead, biking the Capital City Trail from Jamestown that Saturday (with a stop for lunch halfway). More details to come at next week’s meeting.

Any and all tents that have been sent home with scouts (to dry out) should be returned next Tuesday, May 6th. We plan to inspect all of the tents for missing and damaged parts before the sit for the summer.

Thank you,
Scott Guirlinger
