Troop 46 - 11/26/2024 Meeting

Greetings Troop 46 Scouts, Parents and Leaders,

With Thanksgiving coming up on 11/28, we've decided to cancel the troop meeting on 11/26/2024.
Please take time to enjoy your family and reflect on the things you have to be thankful for. There are probably more than you think...

Be safe and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Yours in Scouting,

Greeting Troop 46 Scouts, Parents, and Leaders,

We have a service project coming up on Saturday, November 9th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Matthew Veterans Memorial Park inside Stumptown Park in downtown Matthews.
We'll be doing some weeding, picking up a little trash, and spreading some mulch to make the Veterans Memorial area look nice just in time for Veterans Day (11/11/24).

I'll be providing doughnuts, water, and coffee (for adults)

Troop 46 - Great Pumpkin! Stakeout

Greetings Troop 46 Scouts, Parents, and Leaders,

Troop 46 will have its second annual overnight campout, the Great Pumpkin! Stakeout at Matthews Presbyterian Church on Saturday, October 19, 2024.
All patrols will be preparing a Jack-O-Lantern for an auction at the Patch 46 Pumpkin Patch and will help provide Pumpkin cleaning for customers that request it.

Please plan on arriving at 12:00 pm. The patrols should plan on:
- Preparing dinner on Saturday night at our campsite. Creativity for this meal is highly encouraged. Patrol boxes and camp kitchens will be available.
- A quick breakfast (breakfast bars, Pop Tarts, etc.).
- We need to break camp and have everything put away by 9:00 am Sunday morning.

This is a great opportunity for community exposure for Scouting at Matthews Presbyterian Church!

Creeper Trail Trip Update

Greetings from the land of scouting. I believe I mentioned 6:30pm on Friday. But, let's try to gather by 6pm and be on the road as soon as we load the trailer. We have a 3hr ride. I have attached a PDF with directions and a campsite map for the drivers. We will be way up there and may not necessarily have cellular service for directions. The paper directions might come in handy. 

Reminders:
- Backpack and normal camping gear
- Headlamp should be with the scout and not in the trailer.
- At least two 1 liter water bottles
- Day Pack to hold water and a bag lunch during the bike ride
- Scout Grubmasters should bring their assigned food (Cold food should be in a cooler, other food should ideally be in a box)
We will be base camping with Camp Kitchens and two burner stoves. The Adults will provide charcoal as needed.

In scouting,
