Troop 133 Ski Trip to Mt Peter 2/28/10

Filed under: Uncategorized — Charlie Thomas @ 2:00 pm

We have scheduled a trip to Mt Peter (Warwick NY) for Sunday 2/28/10. For those who would like to attend please complete the two attached forms and return to me with payment by February 15, 2010.

For those who require rentals a seperate form will be provided under seperate cover. I would suggest that rentals be acquired prior to the trip so that we are not spending time on the day of the trip fitting equipment.

2/28 is also Carnival day at Mt. Peter so there will be many activities going on. We will also work on the Snow Sports Merit Badge for those who would like to earn this badge.

We will of course need extra parents to drive and chapperone the group. Thanks

Troop Meeting February 1st: At the Gravity Vault

Filed under: Uncategorized, email list, Troop News, Troop Meeting — Charlie Thomas @ 8:42 am

Hey Everyone,

I just want to remind everyone next Monday, February 1st, we will be having our troop meeting at the Gravity Vault. The meeting will begin at 7:30, however I suggest that everyone arrive 15 minutes early so we can organize everyone and fill out all the necessary paper work. To climb it is a cost of $10 per scout. Also, waivers will need to be filled out by parents for both the Troop and the Gravity Vault itself. This is the link for Gravity Vault Waiver: http://www.gravityvault.com/_userfiles/file/Waivers/4page%20Waiver%20for%20The%20Gravity%20Vault%202%20properties.pdf and attached is the troop’s waiver. Scouts must have their parents fill out both forms and bring $10 in order to climb. If anyone needs directions please visit this link: http://www.gravityvault.com/information_directions/ . See you then.

Thanks,

We Need SPAGHETTI DINNER BOOSTERS

Filed under: Uncategorized — Charlie Thomas @ 6:05 am

As many of you know, our annual Election Day Spaghetti Dinner is our single biggest fundraiser for our Troop. Jill Donato and I have been in the midst of planning this event for the last two months. Soon, you will begin to get innundated with emails asking for your help in various aspects of the dinner planning. We aplogize for this inconvenience but we need lots of help to make this event a success.

Right now, I am asking everyone to PLEASE find just ONE business to purchase a booster. Each booster is $40.00. In return for their donation, their business card will be placed on our placemats that will go to over 600 guests!!!!! Yes, last year we served over 650 dinners!! It can be your own business, a friend’s business, a restaurant that you frequent, a store that you buy from, etc……….you get the picture. This is by no means mandatory, but with over 70 scout families that can add up to a lot of extra monies that our boys and troop can use toward their events, outings, and Eagle ceremonies.

I am attaching a letter that you can print out and give to the prospective businesses. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you need any additional info.

Troop 133,

I first want to let everyone know that for the 5 years I have been going to NOBE, this has been the strongest set of boys I’ve had the pleasure to be with. The completion ratio of merit badges earned was the highest I’ve seen. The first year crop of scouts were great. I’m very proud of all of you.

Here are some dates for you to start filling in your calendar for the new scout year. (Website Calendar is also updated)

September 3rd. First troop meeting at Anona Park. We will be having our burger bash. Mike Israel was nice enough to arrange for us to use the facility. The kids have a 1/2 day of school and we may start the meeting earlier. More info will follow.

October 3/4th. We will have our “Court of Honor” at Yaw Paw. This will be a combination troop meeting and campout.

November 2nd. Troop meeting. We will have our annual spaghetti dinner on Election day, Nov. 3rd.

December 7th. Troop meeting. This is our holiday party.

January 4th, 2010. Ambulance Corp troop meeting.

Troop events that the dates will be shortly decided are a fall campout and fall hike. I will also have the dates for when our committee will meet. We need parents. You will not be asked to do everything. Many hands make light work. We need adults who are willing to go to the events.

Troop Meeting Update

Filed under: Uncategorized — Charlie Thomas @ 11:28 am

Scouts and parents,
Our March 2nd meeting is to welcome new scouts. We also want to start a process of information for the older boys. At that meeting we will go over the “Path to Eagle”. It is highly recommended that at least one parent attend for those children who are looking to advance to that rank. Please keep that date free on your calendar and attend!!! Parent support is critical and the more you know the better it is for the scout. For those who are interested, we will need mentors to help these wonderful young men go through this journey.

We also have our troop meeting on February 2nd. A personal trainer will teach the basis ideas about fitness. As it’s said in the Scout Oath, a scout is “Physically Strong”.

Hope to see you there,

Floodwood Trip 2009 Dates: July 6 -12

Filed under: Uncategorized — Charlie Thomas @ 11:40 am

Troop 133,

I will be running an excursion to Floodwood again this summer. The week would be from July 6th to July 12th. For those who do not know, Floodwood is a high adventure camp in up state New York. Dads are very welcome to join. If you haven’t done anything with your boy yet, this is the type of trip that is great for a father and son experience.

It has been worked out that there are different levels of adventure and independence. I can speak with authority on the trek that would fit your goals. This is the type of trip that will be the main memory of your scouting life. I also feel that the merit badges earned at this camp are of the highest quality.

The only qualification that’s required is that the scout is 13 years old by July 6th. I am sending out this notice for a general sense of interest. It is a long drive up and I’m trying to arrange for a bus to transport us. Even if your interest is only casual at this point, please let me know. I enjoyed so much that I happy to run this again.

Please let me know

Boy Scout Den Chief Training - March 14th

Filed under: Uncategorized — Charlie Thomas @ 10:23 am

Any scout who is already or wishes to become a Den Chief must attend Den Chief Training. The course is not offered very frequently so I would suggest this one for any one thinking about becoming a den chief next fall as well.

The requirement to become a den chief is to be 12 years old and/or a First Class Scout. Den Chief is one of the leadership positions that count towards advancement in Boy Scouts. Scouts who are not 12 years old and/or a First Class may take the class, they just cannot be appointed Den Chief until they are 12 years old and/or a First Class.

Please save the date and let me know if you are interested. More information will be sent out shortly-

September 11th Patrol Meeting

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 7:11 am

Hey Troop 133,

As your new Senior Patrol Leader, I would like to welcome everyone back from summer vacation and I hope everyone had a great summer. As the school year is now underway, our scout year is also upon us. Our first troop meeting will be on Monday, September 11th at 7:30 p.m. at the Bogert Gym . The theme for our meeting will be “Burger Bash”. We will discuss the patrol method and all scouts will actually cook hamburgers and hotdogs for their patrol. We will also be having a contest for the best hotdog and best hamburger.

For this meeting to be successful, I will need each patrol to bring its own patrol box. Patrol Leaders should make sure that your patrol box has a lantern (check batteries), a portable stove and sufficient propane. Each patrol is responsible for its own hamburgers, hotdogs, buns and secret ingredients.

All patrol leaders: please RSVP directly to me by Friday, September 8th.

Thank you. Looking forward to seeing you all next Monday evening.

Christopher Chin
Senior Patrol Leader

USR Town Picnic

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 7:20 am

Troop 133 has volunteered to cook for USR day again this year. We need all of our scout families to help. If we all work together we can help make USR day great! This qualifies as community service towards your rank advancement. We would like to see each scout volunteer to work on this day. We need people to volunteer for the following shifts:

10:00 am-12:00 noon – set up (tables/chairs, cooking area, food prep). This includes husking corn, cutting vegetables and setting up grills, tables, tarps, etc. The food preparation/ corn husking is ideal for our younger scouts.

2:00 pm – 7:00 pm – cooking/serving/busing tables (1 hour shifts). Generally our older scouts will be the cooks, the younger scouts will bring the food to the serving area and bus the tables.

7:00 pm – clean up (cooking area and tables/chairs). There are Pots and Pans to wash, food to pack up and garbage to dispose of. All of our equipment also must be brought back to the scout shed.

I also need several parents to volunteer to help with each shift. Please let me know which shift fits into your schedule.

Please contact Georgene Sibbald at gsibbald@descap.com to sign up. Home phone 201-818-4152 (I can be reached after 7pm) Please indicate the specific time(s) you are available.
THANKS in advance for participating.
