Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements – Aug 20, 2024

Welcome back everyone to our regular Tuesday meetings at the Church of the Advent. I know it’s been a fun and action-packed summer for many of us. It’s the beginning of a new school year; now is a great time to invite your friends, neighbors, and other potential scouts to visit our troop.

Scouts will be handing out recruiting flyers at Northside Middle School this Thursday, August 22nd for their open house. Please arrive at the school at 5:30 to ensure we are ready for when doors open at 6:00.

We are headed to Camp Boddie and Pamlico Sea Base this weekend for our sailing campout. Scouts should arrive at the church at 5:00pm on Friday; we will depart shortly thereafter.

Next Tuesday is our beach picnic and court of honor! The troop will provide the meats; look for a signup sheet to come out for families to bring side dishes and other picnic complements. The fun will start around 5pm; dinner will follow at 6:30pm with our court of honor ceremony starting around 7:00pm. Weather permitting, everything is planned to take place at Community Beach Park (immediately across Oceanview Ave from the church). Please bring your own chair and any beach toys, games, gear, etc. to share. Eco-conscious scouts can bring their mess kits to save on waste. We’re looking forward to some fun and celebrating all that our scouts have accomplished this summer!

Thanks everyone,
Scott
