Tomorrow’s Meeting

Troop 540,

We will meet at North Main tomorrow.  Green Bar starts at 7:00pm.  The general meeting starts at 7:30pm.

The scouts that went camping, need to bring in the tents tomorrow for inspection.

I will be collecting the medical forms tomorrow night for the Spring Camporee.  If you don’t hand in the forms completed, you will not be able to go to the Camporee next month.  Sorry, no excuses.  If you are unable to attend the meeting tomorrow, please have them dropped off to my house this week, no later than Friday.  Any forms handed in after this Friday, will not be accepted.  I will register the final numbers for the Camporee this Friday night.  My address is: 6 Crescent Place, Monroe, NY 10950. You can download the medical form here.

You can also download the tickets for the Applebee’s fundraiser this Saturday.  Please sell your tickets and give Mrs. Donahue the money for the sale of the tickets.

Merit badges can start officially.  Those that need to finish the remainder of your last merit badge, please do so.  If any scouts haven’t signed up for a merit badge, please let me know by tomorrow, so we can get you signed up for one.  We will have time during the meetings to work on merit badges.

Here’s the list of merit badges that the scouts have signed up for:

Tuesday Night

Troop 540,

Just a reminder for our troop fundraiser on Tuesday night at McDonald’s in Monroe. We are scheduled from 5:00-8:00pm to help with greeting people, bus tables and to help sweep up. We need 2-3 scouts for each shift/per hour. You can either head over to the troop meeting before or after your shift. Please encourage your families and friends to eat at McDonald’s that night to support our troop.

We have our second camping trip this weekend at Bullowa in Rockland county at the Cricketown campsite (see the map here for details). We will be getting a head count on how many leaders, parents and scouts will be attending. Also, we will need someone to transport the trailer. I will bring tents into the meet so that the scouts can practice setting up and taking down the tents again.

For the Plumbing Merit Badge Scouts

Our next meeting will be Tuesday March 18 at 7:30pm. We will be meeting at my office at 1019 Route 17M Monroe.

We will be working on Requirement #7 how to measure cut and solder copper pipe (p.36 in your book). We will also learn how to install plastic water pipe as that is more commonly used now than copper pipe. We will also install a bathroom sink and learn how to fix a leaky faucet.

Parents are welcome to stay and watch I will have coffee available

EVERYONE MUST HAVE GLOVES AND EYE PROTECTION!

My Cell phone is 914-447-4442 if you need to contact me.

Paul Nebrasky
