Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements -May 12, 2026
Lots of upcoming events to mention. I’ll go in chronological order to avoid confusion if possible.
- This weekend, May 15-17, is our river rafting expedition and campout. Those attending should meet at the church at 6pm on Friday. Contact John with any questions.
- Owen plans to have an Eagle project workday on Saturday, May 23rd, with Sunday, May 24th as a backup or additional day as needed. The project will take place at the Dadson Arms Apartments at Dadson Ct in Virginia Beach (near the CBBT). Please RSVP directly to Owen if you are able to come and support his project. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water, safety glasses, and work gloves if possible.
- Our next court of honor will be on Tuesday, May 26th around 7:00pm in the social hall of the church. Scouts will meet at 6:30pm for an abbreviated troop meeting ahead of the ceremony. If the weather is nice, we may venture as a group to Dairy Queen afterwards. Scouts seeking awards, merit badges, and advancements should ensure all requirements are completed and approved no later than Friday, May 22nd.
- On Thursday, May 28th, we will welcome our newest scout Jack at Pack 191’s crossover ceremony, 6:30pm at St John Lutheran Church. All troop youth, leaders, and parents are invited to attend.
- On June 2nd, the Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) will lead the troop in planning our weekly summer outings. All troop youth, leaders, and parents are encouraged to attend.
- On June 9th, the PLC will conduct its annual planning for September 2026 – August 2027. Adult leaders are highly encouraged to attend. Other troop youth may optionally attend as well.
