Weekly Update for the week of January 23, 2012

Hello, all!
First of all, Mr. Thompson asked me to pass along the following information.
1. For those scouts (and parents) who have merit badge books lying around at home collecting dust, can you please gather them up and bring them back to the troop library next week. Thanks!
2. PFit MB Reminder! Those boys working on their PFit MB with Mr. T., we will be getting together at Racquet’s Edge again this Sunday (1/29) at 1 PM, yes this is after the Fraser Campout. If you, filled out a waiver form last time you do not need to fill one out again. Cost will be $5pp, unless you are a RE member. Because he is working with 11 boys, Mr. T can use one or two parents who can stick around to help out with timing, record keeping and just keeping the overall chaos to a minimum. Testing shouldn’t take any longer than 45 minutes.
3. National Jamboree - For those boys who think they may be interested in going to the national Jamboree in 2013 which is less than 540 days away and for those boys and parents who think they are NOT interested there are many, many “you tube” videos of 2013 jamboree, the Bechtel Summit Reserve, and much more. The videos can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/TheBechtelSummit These videos will give you an idea what to expect at the National Jamboree, what activities will be offered, and a whole lot more. Especially check out the zip line and the white water rafting. Cool Stuff! Traditionally, there is usually way more stuff to do at the Jamboree that can possibly be done in 10 days. Imagine that! Also, you will see this is not “HOT” Fort AP Hill, Virginia. The new permanent home of the National Jamboree is nestled in the beautifully Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. This promises to be the best Jambo ever and an opportunity for a once in a life time adventure for all scouts. Reserve your spot now! To find out more about the “pre-Jambo” tour and how to register for Jambo go to: http://www.scoutingvermont.org/jamboree Or give Mr. T a call at (802)879-9470.
Thanks, Mr. T! I'd like to add that the troop committee has again promised $300 per scout toward the cost of Jambo.
MERIT BADGES: Last week for our MB month. Again, be sure to have your blue cards and any assignments for your MB counselors.
AVIATION: Thanks to Mr. Ouellette and Mrs. Feliciano for offering the Aviation MB. The boys enjoyed the first session over the weekend and are looking forward to next week. Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel, guys. (For you young'uns, that means same place, same time as last week.)
WINTER SPORTS MONTH: February will be Winter sports month, beginning with cross-country ski and snowshoe night on Feb. 1. Bring your own or use the EMS equipment. Some parents are needed to go along as well.
PLC: Our next PLC meeting will be next Wed., Feb. 1 at 5:45 at EMS.
That's all for now, folks. See you tomorrow night!

Hey, everyone.
Just a few quick things this week.
First, I will not be at the meeting this week, as I have a speaking
engagement for my "other" job. (Well, it's a living.) Anyway, Mr.
Thompson will be there, so you still have to act like quasi-civilized
people, OK? Please be nice to him.
***PLEASE plan to arrive at the meeting in time for our 6:30 start.
We've been quite lax about this and we waste a fair amount of time at
each meeting. We'll be starting at 6:30. Also, please wear your
uniform.
MERIT BADGE MONTH: We'll continue working on merit badges this week.
Don't forget your homework! Remember that our very kind MB counselors
are volunteering their time, so please respect that and be prepared
for this meeting. Please be sure to bring paper and pencils to the
meeting. Don't forget your blue cards!!!
EAGLE COURT: Mike Fraser's Eagle Court of Honor was amazing! The
Frasers planned a beautiful ceremony. Thanks to all of you who
participated and attended. Congrats to Mike!
FRASER CAMP: For high school scouts only. Saturday, Jan. 28 -
Sunday, Jan. 29 at the Fraser camp in Duxbury. We'll need another
parent or two to help keep the herd in check. Please return the
attached permission slip ASAP. Also, remember that somebody's going
to have to cook, so....
OK, I think that's it for now. Short and sweet, right? Have a great
meeting tomorrow and I'll see you all next week.

Saturday, Jan. 28: Fraser Camp overnight for high school scouts only. Details to follow next week.
SKIING AND RIDING AT SMUGG'S: Last night I forwarded information about this event. If you're interested, and you should be, because it's a killer deal, please discuss with your parents ASAP. The ABSOLUTE, FINAL, UNARGUABLE, INCONTESTABLE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, INVIOLABLE deadline is Wednesday night's meeting. Ideally, please email Mr. Donley at thedonleysvt@comcast.net to sign up or with any questions.
OK, that's it for now. I hope to see you all on Wednesday.

One more thing...
|
|
|
|

Hey, guys.
A quick change regarding merit badges:
Mr. Watts will be doing Robotics, rather than Mr. Dirmaier.
I believe Nick Peterson will still be doing Cinematography, however he may not be available for all four weeks.
Mrs. Bovee will be doing E-Prep.
Mrs. Fleury will be doing Communications.
Please let me know which you'd like to do, if you haven't already.
Thanks!

Happy New Year!
I hope you all enjoyed your time off and spent some quality time with your friends and families. As you may have noticed, I took a little time off as well, and skipped last week's update. Yup, I'm a rebel, don't you forget it.
Soooo, here's what you need to know this week.
***This is above the numbered items because I forgot it until after I was finished, then realized it's really important. So here it is:
PLC MEETING THIS WEDNESDAY at 5:45 at EMS. If you are part of the new PLC (see item 6), please be there with something on which and with which to write.
1. NEW EAGLE SCOUTS: Mark Furland and Nick Peterson both endured their Eagle boards just before Christmas. Congratulations to both of you. Well done!
2. SPECIAL GUESTS: Thanks to all of our Troop 635 alumni who visited us for our Festivus party. It was great to see so many of you while you were home for the holidays!
3. CHRISTMAS TREE REPORT: The numbers are in, and it was a VERY good year for Troop 635 Christmas tree sales.
Total $$ Deposited: $11,657.90
Tree Cost: 4,950.00
Net Profit: $6,707.90
Thanks again to you all for doing your part to support our troop for yet another fantastic year of Scouting. Special thanks to the Watts' and the Sharps for handling all the money.
4. MERIT BADGE MONTH: Yup, it's that time. We'll kick off the new year with a month of merit badge work. If you have not yet signed up for a badge, please do so now. Yes, NOW. I'd really like to give our counselors a close-to-accurate count for their groups. So reply to me now, please. Your choices are: Emergency Preparedness (*Eagle required), Robotics, and Cinematograpy. If you've made arrangements to work on another badge, please let me know that too. Please be sure to bring paper and pencils to the meeting.
5. UPCOMING EVENTS: A few things coming up this month. Please mark your calendars.
Saturday, Jan. 14: Michael Fraser's Eagle Scout Court of Honor
