Troop Meeting Restart

Message:

This is the time of year when the troop would start normal meetings. Since we do not have an indoor space at this time, we will be doing things outside. Current Blackhawk Council guidelines allow meetings of up to 50 people if social distancing is maintained. Masks are required if social distancing is not possible and should always be brought to our meetings. Hand sanitizer will be available. Ongoing Monday meetings will occur during our normal meeting time of 7pm-8:30pm. As in the past, side meetings such as Patrol Leaders Council may occur at 6pm. For now, I am enabling signups for each Monday meeting topic so I have a better understanding of any youth/adult leadership requirements before each meeting. All members of the troop are invited/encouraged to attend Monday meetings and scheduled troop activities. I do not see camping in the near future but we will continue to organize monthly weekend hikes or other activities where some of your scout skills can be used.

Just a heads up that we are going to try and do a full day of requirement signoffs on Saturday Sept 12 at one of the local MCCD sites. Emphasis will be on navagation and cooking requirements...there will also be "open" sessions where scouts can get just about anything signed off...asssuming they have done the homework!
