So, you’ve been elected the new SPL of Troop 640? Congrats! One of your new duties is to keep the Troop and its families informed about upcoming plans for our weekly Troop Meetings.
What does this mean? Every Sunday by approximately 6:00pm (or our agreed upon time), you will send an update for the newsletter to the newsletter editor. This is done via a group text between you, the editor, and the Scoutmaster. The prior SPL, the current newsletter editor, or the Scoutmaster will reach out to share the communication method/phone numbers.
What should the blurb include? At minimum, make sure to cover:
- Meeting date, time, and location
- Activity or theme for the meeting
- What to wear (Class A’s, Class B’s, etc.)
- Any gear or materials Scouts should bring
For more inspiration, head to https://www.bsatroop640.com/newsletter/ where you can read through any of our prior newsletters — and sign up if you haven’t already!
Join us this Saturday, November 22nd for Zack’s Eagle Court of Honor. It will take place at the Peak Community & Wellness Center at 1:30pm!
As a reminder, we have added Eagle Court of Honor photos from Caleb’s celebration to our photos section at https://www.bsatroop640.com/photos/. We will be adding an album for Jaivon’s as well soon.
Cameron S’s Eagle Project consists of making improvements to a large shed used to store equipment and supplies for the Sharing with Sheridan Food Bank. We will be building handrails along the ramp and priming and painting the shed.
Day 2 will consist of painting the trim, siding, and handrails. We plan to start at 10:00 a.m. and work until we are done painting. We are planning to do 2 coats.
What to bring: Wear clothes that can get paint on them and bring water and sunscreen. If you have any of the following tools or supplies, they would be useful: stepladder, drop cloths, paint trays and cups, paint roller frame, paint roller extension pole, paint guides, safety goggles.
Lunch, drinks, and snacks will be provided.
