Weekly Update Febuary 5

Hey Troop 19,

Are you going to the Klondike Derby? If so, the attached 3 page consent form must be completed and turned in to us TOMORROW NIGHT. We handed out paper copies at the meeting last week. We need to turn in a form for EVERY one of you at CHECK-IN. If you can’t make it to the meeting tomorrow, contact me ASAP. All adults attending will need to complete the form on page 2, Scouts attending need both page 2 AND page 3. 

If you did not turn in your Scout handbook last Monday night, please bring it tomorrow and give it to Josh Murray. We are updating theScoutbook records. 

We will meet tomorrow at the Moose Lodge.

Gym Night is Wednesday at First Church in Weymouth Heights, how about you bring a friend to join in on the fun? Or if you need FITNESS requirements for advancement, we can work on those! 

Scout Sunday will be on February 12th at Sacred Heart in the Landing. Arrive at 11 AM so we can assemble and sit together for the 11:30 AM mass.
