Troop 331 Weekly Newsletter
Good evening troop families.
Before I get into the schedule, we are having a growing issue that I need everyone’s help with. We have had a rash of scouts spending too much time on their cell phones during meetings lately. It has become very distracting for the presenters and leadership. I am asking that the troop meetings be a cell phone free zone. Please have your scout leave their phones at home on Monday nights and limit usage on camp outs. Same goes for laptops and homework. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Here is the schedule for the next few weeks:
1/7: Troop Meeting – Visit from Pack 50
- Facilities – Phoenix
- Open/Close – Nuclear Bacon
- Activity- Stations with how to tie a square knot, two half hitches, and a taut-line hitch and explain how each knot is used. Plus show the proper care of a rope by learning how to whip and fuse the ends of different kinds of rope.
- Ski Trip information with Mr. Mike
- SM Conference(s)- Mahesh
1/14: Troop Meeting
- Facilities – Nuclear Bacon

1/21: Troop Meeting
