Dear All:
The countdown is on for our Cape Cod Conservation Trip, starting this Friday 11/2.
We will meet at 3:30 in the parking lot behind the Henderson Carriage Bldg on Mass. Ave., and we’ll return there Sunday around noon.
It’s the big brick building at 2067 Mass. Ave., not far up from St. James – just past the fire station and gas station.
To get into the parking lot:
Turn right on Hadley St. just past the Speedway gas station or Russell St. just past the building and traffic light at Walden, go around to the back.
See you there at 3:30 – don’t be late!
And don’t forget your bag dinner and your raincoat!
All parents and adult volunteers are invited to the monthly committee meeting tonight 30 Oct at 7pm after the opening ceremony. Please email me any agenda items you would like to include in addition to the ones below!
Also, Jeni (our usual grubmaster) will not be able to join us tomorrow. Could someone volunteer to get some food for the adults? You’ll be reimbursed.
YIS/V,
Andrés
Committee Chair

7-7:10 Opening ceremony & new patrol announcements

(Please do not hold us too tightly to agenda times – we will do the best we can.)
NOTE: Adults are having the monthly committee meeting at the same time.
This is a great opportunity to clear out any Scout and camping gear that you have around the house, and share out with members of the Troop. Let’s recycle and reuse any items that no longer are needed or your youth has grown out of. This can include any Scout gear, camping equipment, boots, cold weather\rain gear, or anything that appears on our pack lists.
Agenda:
7:00 | Start with Scout Oath and Law
7:10-7:30 | Scout Law Discussion
7:30-8:15 | Everyone going on the trip will be discussing over food lists and other preparations ; those not going to the trip will be finishing fitness activities (includes sit & reach, push-ups, and sit-ups)
8:15-8:30 | Announcements and Scoutmaster’s Minute with a SPECIAL TREAT that will be kept as a surprise towards the end
One last thing regarding the trip, the trip needs some volunteers to help Roberto go shopping on November 1st, a Thursday. Please look at your calendars and volunteer, if you can, at the upcoming meeting.
