Troop 5 – Bronxville, NY

This coming weekend (October 3-4) is our “Family Camping” Trip at Tiorati.  Attached is a revised flyer:  Tiorati 2009
A few important notes for the Tiorati camping trip:
– Parents are invited but not required.  Scouts can attend on their own.
– All scouts should tell their patrol leaders whether they are coming, and how many siblings/parents are coming.
– Patrol leaders are responsible for making sure they know who is coming from their patrols, including siblings and parents.
– Patrol leaders must tell the Senior Patrol Leader who is coming from their patrol.
– Patrol leaders must make sure that the scouts in their patrol who have cooking and related duties have enough food for all the scouts (and parents and siblings) coming for their patrol.

Please explore this site further to see all the new material that has been added!  We have pictures from recent events (including summer camp at Yawgoog) on the “Pictures” page, our historian Will T has written a complete troop history (on the “History” page), and Chris L has written a newsletter for the Gettysburg Trip (also on the “History” page).

Welcome back from summer! Troop 5 was busy, with 20 scouts at summer camp earning 46 merit badges, and 9 of those scouts completing “New Frontier” activities towards Tenderfoot, Second, and First Class ranks.  We also hiked Gettysburg and earned 9 scouts (plus 2 Webelos) earned the Historic Trails award.

Now our first Troop meeting of the year is coming up!  The first meeting will be held Monday, 6:30pm, at the Reformed Church, and will be a special Court of Honor to recognize the achievements that the scouts earned over the summer.  Please check the “Calendar” tab of this web site for our full meeting calendar.

Scouts who will be attending Yawgoog this summer (August 9-16) should bring a check for $350.  The merit badge schedule, merit badge workbooks and pre-requisites, and the Eagle Merit Badge Schedule & Permission slip are all available on the Yawgoog web site (see the troop 5 links page for links to Yawgoog.)  Medical forms also need to be completed; These are on the troop 5 documents page.)

Scouts who plan to attend the rock climbing trip in the Gunks, April 18-19, should bring in a check for $25.
