Troop Update - Camporee

We had a terrific weekend at Belk Scout Camp. We fielded 3 patrols in the competition: the Goofy Goobers led by Luke Morris, the Croc’s w/ Socks led by Anthony Paulsen, and the new scouts participated as the Rebel Alliance patrol with Benjamin Kahn serving as patrol leader for the day.

 

I would like to mention that we had some personal gear challenges. We had some scouts without a grey troop T-Shirt. I am not referring to the new scouts. We will try to get those T-shirts issued Tuesday night. Please think about what size your scout needs. One shirt is included with your dues as you join. Additional shirts can be purchased for $10 each. But, we had some veteran members of the troop that forgot to wear or pack a troop T-Shirt. The other piece of gear that seemed to be missing was a poncho or rain suit. It rained a bit this weekend. As much as we try to teach the scouts to be responsible and properly pack for our trips, I would like to challenge the parents to help us help them be successful when we travel and participate in scouting activities. Here is a link to the recommended gear to pack on our website.

 

Congratulations, some of our scouts won First Place in the Log Drag competition and the Rebel Alliance Patrol earned a ribbon for participating in the new scout division. Additionally, Benjamin Kahn advanced to the rank of Scout on Saturday after completing his first scoutmaster’s conference.  

 

We had a terrific weekend and it was a great experience to spend time with other troops from our district at Camporee. Thank you for being a part of Matthews Troop 46.

Matthews Troop 46 Update - Skills Day & Camporee

Skills Day - We had a terrific Skills Day today. Much appreciation to the Bergen family and other scouts and leaders that helped plan and lead the experience today.

 

Camporee – For those of you registered for camporee, please keep an eye out for emails related to updating your scouts medical forms if needed. We only need Form A & B for this event. A parent can complete and sign that. If you didn’t here from us, your forms should be up to date. You can find the form on our website here: Matthews Troop 46. We will continue reviewing skills at our next meeting, conduct meal planning, and prepare for our trip next weekend to Belk Scout Camp where we will compete in activities alongside other troops within our district.

 

Thank you all for being a part of Matthews Troop 46.
