Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements – Dec 9, 2025

We continue to prepare for our big open house on December 16th. Scouts are preparing stations for visiting youth and adults are gathering information for parents. Please make sure to spread the word and attend that night (in your Class A uniform).

For Wreaths Across America this Saturday, scouts should plan to arrive at Forest Lawn Cemetery at 9am to volunteer. Enter at the main gate and ask for John Matroni (scout leader). Wear full Class A uniform and dress warm underneath. More information on the event is here: https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/pages/169330/Overview/?relatedId=169331 (You do not need to click to volunteer; they already know we’re coming.)

Finally, another reminder that renewals for most scouts are due this month. Please log into your scouting.org account to complete your renewal. Step by step instructions are in an infographic on this page: https://www.troop5norfolk.com/2025/12/01/individual-membership-renewal/ Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks everyone,
Scott
