Camping Overnight Cancelled

Troop 540,
 
Unfortunately, we are going to have to cancel the camping trip this weekend, due to low numbers of scouts and no other  parent having the availability to help out.  
 
Everyone, please mark your calendars for the next camping trip.  It will be at Bullowa in the Paden cabin (nicest cabin) from Friday, 1/29/16 to Sunday, 1/31/16.  Again, we need at least two adult leaders/volunteers present at all times for both nights.  
 
 
Thank you,
 
Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540

Albany Indoor Rock Climbing

Troop 540,
 
In the green bar meeting tonight, the scouts picked a date for the most highly anticipated event of the year on Friday, February 26th, we will be heading up to Albany Indoor Rock Climbing. 
 
We need 20 people (scouts, family and friends) to sign up, in order to go on this trip.  It will run from 8:00pm that Friday night, until 8:00am the next morning.
 
We will not count you as going, until you hand me a check for $30 per person (made out to “Troop 540”) and the have your parents fill out the waiver and permission slip and hand this in to me as well.  If you do not provide me with the check, permission slip and waiver, you are not counted as going on the trip.
 
I will start collecting the money, permission slips and waivers next week.  I will set a deadline to hand in the waivers and the money by the last meeting in January (26th).
 
This trip will be non-refundable.  Sorry, no excuses.
 
Here is the link to the waiver and permission slip below.

Camping This Weekend

Troop 540,
 
I need to know how many scouts are going camping this weekend.  The trip is at Bullowa in the Winter Cabin.  We didn’t get big numbers to sign up at the meeting.  So, we are only going from Friday night and leaving after lunch at 1:00pm sharp on Saturday.  Please get back to me by tomorrow night if you plan on camping this weekend, so we know how much food to buy.
 
More importantly, I need one more adult to join me on the camping trip.  Please get back to me by tomorrow, if you can help out and stay from Friday night until Saturday afternoon.  If we don’t get another adult, we will have to cancel the trip.
 
Thanks,
 
Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540

We have a meeting at North Main tonight.  Green bar starts at 7:00pm.  Sam, if you plan on attending, please be ready to update the green bar on your drawings for the trailer.
 
The general meeting will start at 7:30pm.  For those scouts that finished their Scoutmaster Conference last week, we will have the Board of Review for you tonight.  Please wear your FULL Class A uniforms.  We will also be getting a head count for the camping trip this weekend and handing out food assignments.
 
See you all tonight.
