Robbie’s has one last Eagle Scout project work day scheduled for this Saturday – May 25, 2019 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at Camp Merriwood. He’s going to need as many hands as possible to install the last parts of the elevated walkway.
Meet down at the lake front! Food and drinks will be provided! If you can bring a drill that would be helpful! See you there.
Troop 934 has been blessed and challenged. Sam and Claire Gladding have been long time supporters of Troop 934 and have 3 Troop 934 Eagles in their family. They are aware of some strategic funding needs that the troop has and have issued the following:
The Gladding family will donate $5000 to the troop if the troop raises a matching $5000. Steve Kelley is doing a great job raising this money on our behalf. He has been primarily soliciting the adult leadership thus far and has raised $2500.
The hard part is we need to raise the additional $2500 in the next 2 weeks. So, we are pulling out the stops and asking everyone to make whatever donation you are able to. Feel free to include grandparents, employers, neighbors and vendors. We accept cash, credit cards, checks and gold and silver. Please do what you can to help out.
What will the money be used for, you say? A portion of it will be used to fund a new scholarship being opened in the name of Mark Werkman and Cameron Roletter (934 Eagles who have passed away). Most of it will be pointed towards a new means of transportation. Our bus and van are both in need of replacement.
This is just a reminder that we have swim checks this afternoon. If your scout would like some additional swimming instruction prior to the swim check, please let Mrs. Settlemire know and plan to come right at 2:30 pm.
I have had several questions as to if you have to do a swim check even if you have your swimming merit badge or are a champion swim team captain – the answer is YES! Everyone who plans to swim at Summer Camp has to do a swim check every year.
Seabase participants the swim check is a requirement for you as well.
Everyone should bring a bag dinner for Friday evening.
Class A is required for bus trips to and from
Lunch will be provided by the troop for Monday prior to returning for home.
Backpacks are required for all treks. Everyone should bring and prepare their own food for all meals except Monday lunch.
Bear canisters will be provided
by the troop, but are limited. Do not bring excess food. All scented
toiletries (toothpaste, etc.) must also fit into the bear canisters.
Packing list is on the Troop
website. Pay attention to the weather forecast. Most groups will be
camping at 5000-6000’ elevation which can range to 15+ degrees cooler
and much windier than Winston-Salem,
particularly at night and early morning.
There
are 4 treks planned – 2 Philmont Treks, 1 Medium Distance Trek, and 1
Raven Trek. The Raven Trek will have their own route appropriate to
their skill level.
IMPORTANT: ALL SCOUTS ATTENDING THIS TRIP SHOULD ATTEND THE TROOP MEETING MONDAY, 5/20 FOR INSTRUCTIONS AND TO HELP PACK TROOP GEAR.
