There is a Court of Honor this coming Monday night.  As of now, the weather looks very favorable.  Plan to arrive between 7:00 and 7:20.  At 7:25 the parking lot will be closed to cars.  After the lot is full or 7:25, you may park on the street and bring your chairs to the parking lot.   

Bring camp chairs. Read the attached document so you know what to expect on Monday night.

As is our COH tradition, you may bring dessert/snack but please NO SHARING with other families.  We need everyone to remain with their family units.  

Isaac Stanley here. I recently had my Eagle Project approved, and naturally I'll be needing some assistance. This one is unique in that it doesn't require very much work on your part AND you get to put down more service hours than a typical Eagle Project would net you.

Information was emailed out on Friday regarding the troop's plans for summer camp.  Read the Guide for all the details.  Link is here.  If you are going, please confirm with Mr. Kallesser ASAP so we can plan and purchase accordingly.  

There is a special camp shirt to commemorate this summer camp.  Deadline for ordering shirts is 8PM on Sunday June 14 (today). Information Link is here.  or order form link is  here. 

Medical Form A, B and C are required for everyone attending.  Part C MUST be filled out by a physician. Link is here.

Regardless of whether we attend camp this summer or not, a BSA medical form is required to be filled out annually (not coincidentally, the formal name of the form is "Annual Health and Medical Record").  It recently changed for 2020.  Please use the newest one when filling one out for the troop. https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-001_ABC.pdf  The easiest time to get AB and C filled out is out your well-child checkup.  C is required for events lasting more than 72 hours.  This can be a long trip or something like NYLT that spans multiple weekends.

From Steve Kallesser:  As promised on last night's call,  I am sending out this survey (link below) to gauge interest and participation in the various options presented.  PLEASE take this survey today, tomorrow, or Sunday.  Thank you for everything you do for Scouting!  This link was sent by e-mail if you don't remember your credentials to log into the website to access it.
