Troop 5 Scoutmaster Announcements – Dec 3, 2024

Zomboree is this weekend! Lots of fun with lots of scouts from other troops in our council. Full program guide is at https://pipsicobsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Zomboree_LG-24.pdf. Pack warmly and meet at the church at 5:30pm on Friday in your Class A uniform. Invoices for scout program fees ($29 each) will be sent out this week; please keep an eye out for yours and pay in a timely fashion.

Eric Casey is asking all parents to attend the December 17th troop committee meeting, where we will renew all memberships for 2025. Please note the change of date from previous announcements and mark your calendar for this important date. Also, all adults who have not yet completed their annual Youth Protection Training (YPT), please do so ASAP and send your certificate of completion to Committee Chair Eric Casey.

For scouts attending winter camp at Pipsico, merit badge selections are due to Kristina Malleck tonight. The 2025 Winter Camp Merit Badge Guidebook is now available at https://pipsicobsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/WinterCampMBG-25.pdf.

Stay tuned for an announcement of Jeremy Morris’s Eagle Ceremony, coming very soon. We will need some scouts to volunteer as color guards and possibly as emcee and other speaking roles.

Thanks everyone,
Scott
