Good evening troop families,
During the meeting this past Monday night the troop voted to switch our January
and February outings. This was due to the unseasonably warm temperatures in the
St. Louis area which has halted operations at Hidden Valley because they cannot
make snow for the ski slopes at this time. We will now be going to the
Huntsville Space Center on Saturday January 25th.
This day trip will be open to all family members and the cost will be $25 a
person which will include lunch as well as other items at the center for the
day. The details of the day will be discussed at the meeting.
Thomas H. Eagle Project Workday is scheduled for January 18th beginning at 8
am. This is an excellent opportunity for those who need service hours to get
that requirement as well as help a fellow scout achieve his Eagle Project!
Dues – If you have not paid your dues for 2020 yet please do so ASAP. The fee
for Scouts is $100 1st son / $88 2nd Son / $76 3rd Son and $40 for chartered
Adults.
Permission Forms – If you have not filled out and turned in your 2020
permission forms please do so. The attached PDF file is editable just print it
out and sign it. This form is needed every year to go on outings with the
troop.
Troop 457 Merit Badge College – We are still taking requests for those Scouts
that wish to register for this event. Please note the minimum age requirements
for each merit badge and note if the class is an AM or PM class. http://www.meritbadge.info/mbn/EventDetails.aspx?ID=83790DE1-663B-4EEA-8EE3-55C535AD7A96
I would like to meet with the ASPL’s and SPL fifteen minutes prior to the
meeting tomorrow night. After the meeting I would like to have a mini PLC
meeting to discuss the topics for the meeting on 1/20.
