Troop Meeting Tomorrow Night

Good Evening Troop 540.

We will have a troop meeting tomorrow night in the North Main cafeteria. The green bar meeting will start at 7:00pm. The general meeting will start at 7:30pm.

We will be signing up for merit badges tomorrow night. I strongly encourage those scouts that have NOT finished their last merit badge, to continue to work on those until you are done. If there is a merit bade where only one scout had signed up for it, I will leave it up to the counselor to see if they will have the class with only one scout or we may ask you to pick another badge where there are more scouts that have signed up for the merit badge.

Here is a list of merit badges that are available to sign up for:

  • Camping – Mr. Walker
  • Citizenship in the Community – Mr. Ramos
  • Citizenship in the Nation – Mr. Wolownik
  • Citizenship in the World – Mr. Struhar
  • Coin Collecting – Mr. Pakula
  • Communications – Mrs. Struhar
  • Cooking – Mrs. Estrella
  • Crime Prevention – Mr. Wasserman
  • Gardening – Mr. Hall
  • First Aid – Mrs. Wolownik
  • Personal Fitness – Mr. Hess
  • Personal Management – Mr. Campanella
  • Plumbing – Mr. Nebrasky

Please fill the merit badge counselor applications out and hand it in tomorrow. If you are unable to attend the meeting tomorrow night, it’s in PDF format. Please fill it out online and email me the form and I will print it out and hand it in for you.

Click here for a link to the Merit Badge Counselor’s Application

Merit Badge Counselors will also have to take Youth Protection Training. If you haven’t done so already. Here is the link to the myscouting website. You may need to register for the first time, if you haven’t done so before. Once you’re in the site, you need to go to: “My dashboard” and look for “Youth Protection”.

I’ll see you all tomorrow night. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540
