Last night we had a great turnout for the hike from the inclined plane, thank you for all that attended.
New Parents
Last night at the meeting we handed out Boy Scout applications, it is very important that you fill these out and get them back to us as soon as possible. Your son will advance rather quickly through the first couple ranks but we can only advance them if they are on our roster, which requires the application.
The dress for our regular meetings does not require a class A uniform and I would recommend jeans and a t-shirt, and a coat, hat etc if weather requires it. Our typical meetings can end up inside sanding or building something or outside looking for animal tracks or having a fire so I would not recommend good school clothes or a 3 piece suit, but that's up to you lol.
Troop 217 does not require the boys to purchase an official scout book, you are welcome to purchase one if you want too.
Please remember to sign up and follow the blog by email as this is where you will find information about all upcoming events!
In the front of every scout book, or online, there is a section on youth protection. In order for your son to advance you must sit down with him and go over this section. I urge you to make this a frank and very open discussion.
As always, parents are more than welcome to sit in on the meetings or attend the outings but it is not required unless specified.
Is there a specific video or something you would like us to show, or just the general conversations?
ReplyDeleteGavin Arone and I read over the youth protection section in the boy scout handbook.
