Hello Everyone,
Reverend Kanter from the 1st Baptist of Abington got back to me today. We are all set for Scout Sunday, February 5th. Scouts, Leaders and families should be there by 10:30 AM. The service starts at 11. It is Communion Sunday. So parents should be aware that Communion will be passed. If someone does not wish to receive Communion, they just simply pass it along.

All Scouts should be in their Class A Uniforms, which includes the uniform shirt (tucked in), neckerchief and a neat pair of pants (please, no shorts or athletic pants). Hats should be left at home.

The church is located on the corner of North Ave. and Adams St. Most people should be able to park in the North Ave. Parking Lot or on the street. Please enter the Reception Center through the glass doors off of the porch on the North Ave. side.

All Scouts will be processing in together with the American, Pack and Troop flags and then sit down with their families.

The service will be simple, but will be meaningful in showing that a Scout is Reverent and he does his Duty to God. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

Hello Everyone,
 
Every organization needs a strong support system in order to provide a quality and enjoyable program for our Scouts. We want the Scouts to look forward to each meeting and activity. Troop 41 would like to reach out to the parents to enhance that system. So, we've set aside Tuesday, February 7th to hold a Job Fair at the American Legion from 7-8 PM.
 
At this meeting we will provide you with opportunities to help us out. Some people may only be able assist on occasion. Others may want to step forward to become one of our Assistant Scoutmasters or Committee. No matter what level of involvement you choose, we're all here for one thing and that is to do everything we can to aid in the advancement of our Scouts. We will have applications available.
 
We will also discuss a few parent/leader guidelines to minimize distractions during troop meetings and allow our Scout to focus on advancement and planned activities.
 
Your anticipated assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 The American Legion provided us with a copy of their activities and Events for the year. The majority of the events are open to the families of Troop 41. There are some events that are strictly for adults. Anyone interested should inquire with the Legion to determine any limitations. Please see the Events list below.

American Legion Events 2011-12.pdf

Mr. Baker reports that, unlike previous years, he does not plan to offer Camping Merit Badge to eligible Scouts as a general class this year.  Scouts who are interested in working on Camping Merit Badge with him should contact him directly to make appropriate arrangements.  This year he has set some minimum requirements for Scouts who wish to work on Camping Merit Badge with him.  They are: (1) must be in 7th grade (equivalent) or higher; (2) must be 2nd Class or higher; and (3) must have 12 nights of camping experience as defined in the Camping Merit Badge Requirements.



A separate commitment form will go out for the activities in December, January and February. This form will be passed out on Wednesday, September 21.

The calendar for the 2011-2012 year was approved by the Troop Committee and can be viewed on the troop's website at  http://www.abingtonscouts.com/Troop_41/index.html
As more information is put together for each trip, the calendar will be updated. So, please check it often.

Also, as a reminder, if there are funds in the Scout Account, they can be used for trips and deposits.
