Troop Notes
Scouts who are First Class and above who should be in troop Leadership positions are being asked to fill out a preference form at meetings for an appointment. There is an immediate opening for a Den Chief with Pack 100, which meets Mondays, 6:30 p.m. The troop is also seeking three volunteers for a permanent Honor Guard (service hours, not an advancement position) and a Bugler.
As Scouts out grow their uniforms, the troop accepts donations of experienced uniforms in good condition for its uniform bank. The troop will reimburse for new uniform shirts and parts from the Scout Activity Allowance. Submit to Tony Reyneke. The Scout pants are separate. There is a list at the register at the Scout Shop and pants can be obtained there and the troop will cover at the time of purchase. (Scout pants do need to be hemmed. Try: Experienced Scout pants in good condition should be donated back to the troop uniform bank.
A BSA medical exam is required once a year for camps longer than 72 hours or high adventure activities. Under the circumstances this year, Dr. Scott Williams updated the prior exams as necessary. Our next 72 hour or longer event probably won't be until next summer, but the troop strongly encourages any Scout going in for an exam with their primary care provider to obtain an updated Scout medical form which will carry them through next summer. The BSA donesn't accept copies of sports physicals stapled to the Scout form. The Annual Health and Medical form is available at www.otcbsa.org, click Camping, then click Camp Baker or Camp Melakwa tom print one.
In the Oregon Trail Council, recharter for 2021 is due by November 25th. Registration is now required for all adults staying in camp over 72 hours. This requires YPT training and a background check. Two deep leadership has been strengthened to require two registered leaders over 21 years of age. Although renewal of adult YPT Training is only required once every two years; two years ago it was revised and everyone was required to take it them, so many need it now on the two year renewal. Check on the status of your YPT at my.scouting.org or if you have received a reminder email that your training has expired or is about to expire, please complete YPT online at an early date.
The national program themes are emphasized each month in Boy's Life Magazine. This is helpful when the troop plan follows the monthly theme. Scouting Magazine for adults is no longer published and mailed in printed copy. See it online with frequent updates at www.scouting magazine.com
