Troop 540 Announcements

Troop 540 Parents:

We will be taking orders for Class “B” t-shirts and sweatshirts at the Court of Honor on September 30th. T-shirts are $10 and the sweatshirts will be $20. There are only adult sizes available (AS, AM, AL, AXL & AXXL). Mrs. Lacuna will be collecting the money at that meeting, if you are interested in purchasing these. Please make the checks out to: “Troop 540”

The troop needs a couple of parents to volunteer to be our fundraisers for this year. If interested, please see me at the next troop meeting.

The following parents are an active merit badge counselor or have recently volunteered to be merit badge counselors:

• Camping – Pete Walker
• Cooking – Matt Nowosielski
• Citizenship of the community – Hiram Ramos
• Citizenship of the nation – Dennis Wolownik
• Citizenship of the world – Matt Struhar
• Communications – Betty Nebiker
• Emergency Preparedness – Hiram Ramos
• Environmental Science – Jim Donovan
• Family Life – Jon Hess
• First Aid – Karen Wolownik
• Personal Fitness – Jon Hess
• Personal Management – Paul Campanella
• Sustainability – Don Ellis
• Plumbing – Paul Nebrasky
• Crime prevention – Ira Wasserman

If there’s any merit badge counselors that I have overlooked or if there are any additional merit badges that some of the other parents may want to volunteer for, please let me know. Charlie, I know you are the MBC for either stamp or coin collecting. Can you give me an update, so that I can add it to the list of options for the scouts?

Can you all report back to me on whether or not you have updated/completed your youth protection training and handed in the copy to Maura Crown and also handed in your merit badge counselor application to Jill Lamarch? As soon as all of the volunteers have completed the paperwork, I will announce to the scouts that they can actively choose which merit badges they would like to work on.

Thank you to all of our troop volunteers. Without your help, the troop wouldn’t exist.

Good night all.

Sincerely,
Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540
