Dear Parents and Scouts:
Below is the March monthly newsletter and attached is the permission slip for our campout which will be to Camp Lazarus on March 17-18. We will be inviting the Webelo II Scouts from Pack 136 to join us. I am looking for a great turnout from ALL patrols. Should be fun – so plan on it!
We have our Order Day for the 2018 Mulch Fundraiser this next weekend – March 3rd. We will discuss the details tomorrow night at our Troop Meeting. Please make every effort to be at this event – As I have told you – WE NEED ALL that can participate.
I have included a copy of the 2018 Mulch Order Form for you to use in your social media ties if you wish. I will have the actual forms on Saturday if you need some already printed.
At our Meeting tomorrow night, we were going to have a guest speaker – Mr. Richard Cordray come and talk to the scouts on “Leadership”. He had to delay this discussion until our March 13th meeting due to a trip he had to take tomorrow to Youngstown which will not allow him to return in time for our meeting. We will have our meeting activity on Knots and Lashings instead.
See you tomorrow night!
Sincerely,
Kirk Bohanan
Scoutmaster Troop 136
