Following Troop policy, if school is cancelled due to weather the Troop meeting is also cancelled so there will not be a Troop meeting tonight.

Also, as a reminder, if you want or need a leadership position or would like to consider changing your leadership position in the Troop please fill out the attached leadership position application and return it to Andrew Carter or myself.

Yours in Scouting,

Mr. Schwoerer

Hello Troop,

If you want to apply for a leadership position, I will be accepting leadership role application forms (which can be found on the website) during the next few Troop meetings.

Scouts – Beginning December 5th I will begin working with Scouts who wish to pursue the Personal Management Merit Badge.  If you would like to be in the group and you have the First Class Rank or higher: (1) please email me by November 30^th providing me the best email address to use to reach you – my email address is: michaelaverill@hotmail.com;  (2) plan on meeting (as a group) beginning at 6:00 PM at BPC on the 5th; and (3) print out and bring to the meeting on the 5th the Personal Management Workbook.  At the meeting on the 5th we will review what you will need to do to complete the requirements for this Merit Badge and set out a timeline to do so.

YIS,  Mr. Averill
