Congratulations go out to Jacob Tripp for being elected as our next Senior Patrol Leader. Let's do a good job supporting him in this challenging role. A special thank you to Robert Zoller for doing a great job as our out going SPL. Bring those scout books to the meetings so we can start ranking up!!

There are two options next week for doing Requirement 5  - Attend a Public Meeting. 

The Community Budget Forum for RH School District is Tuesday 3/26 at 2034 Lehigh Station Road (630 to 830).

There will also be a public hearing on the budget at the regular school board meeting on Monday 3/25 at 7PM (Also at the Parker Administration Building).  

I will plan to attend the Troop Meetings on 3/27 and 4/10 to sign off on requirements you may have completed since last time.  Reminder - planning a troop ceremony program (Requirement 8) does not require me to be there - just need Scoutmaster acknowledgement.

The Troop will be delivering mulch on 4/26, 5/3 from 8 am until the last order is filled. Scouts will earn a $30 credit for helping with the delivery of mulch. We are also in need of delivery drivers to assist the scouts with the deliveries. We will post more details shortly on pricing, colors, etc. We ask everyone to spread the word.

The Rush Methodist Church has a woodshop in the basement. They offer leatherwork, woodworking and woodcarving merit badges. If your scout is interested in any of these, please contact a scoutmaster to coordinate the merit badge.

Rush Methodist Church is observing Scout Sunday this weekend at the 9:30 am service.  Scouts and Scouters in uniform are encouraged to come and participate in the service and increase community visibility. Remember to take a picture of your scouts in full class A and present it at the next troop meeting to a scoutmaster. Scouts will have the opportunity to make stamped leather bracelets.

The Troop is headed back to Massawepie from August 3 - 9. Merit badge registration will be on May 5th. We will start to review which merit badges the scouts would like to earn at camp. Adults are welcome to attend Massawepie but are required to be fully registered with the troop and have youth protection training. Siblings receive a $50 discount for the second scout.
