Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements – Jun 18, 2024

Summer is here and our programming will shift to more outings than meetings. This coming Tuesday, June 25th we will meet at Send It Climbing gym at our usual 6:30pm time. The address is 7405 Sewells Point Rd (we will not meet at the church). We have a group rate of $15 per scout for a 90-minute climbing session (we will finish at 8:00pm). All participants must complete a waiver form at https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/5e3898b10184c/web/. Please RSVP to Scoutmaster Scott no later than Sunday June, 23rd so that we can provide a planned head count to the gym. Scouts – bring your friends, neighbors, and anyone else that might enjoy a night of climbing and learning about the fun that our troop has. For those scouts that need to meet First Class requirement #10 to bring someone to a scout activity, this will count.

The PLC has planned for our troop to participate in the council’s Zomboree event, December 6-8th. The event webpage says that registration will go live this coming Monday, June 24th. This event is expected to sell out; scouts should register early (individual registration is required). The anticipated cost per scout is $30 each. The latest event information is available at https://pipsicobsa.com/events-programs/zomboree/.

Thank you to all of the parents and scouts that attended our summer camp briefing. Each scout needs to have the online waiver complete and a current medical form submitted. Please take care of these ASAP to ensure we don’t have any last minute complications.

For those scouts that wish to have warm water in the showers (and are willing to lug that warm water to the shower), here is an example of an inexpensive solar bag on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/CARTMAN-Portable-Camping-Shower-Gallons/dp/B019SYOY3M. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you!
