I could use a few scouts for a color guard TONIGHT.  Details:

* meet at Snuffy's at 7:10 in full class A uniforms
* have our flags from the basement with you (so, stop by the church,
pick up flags, then come to Snuffy's)
* practice 15 minutes and then perform the color guard opening  in front
of the District dinner at 7:30 SHARP
* be done by 7:40 and leave

Please send RSVP's to the leaders' mail alias —
t-104-leaders@yahoogroups.com.
I'm not sure if we'll have too many or too few, so if you are willing
then send your RSVP and we'll see what we can do.

Thanks.

Hi Guys,

Sorry this is so last minute. The committee never lined up a group of
scouts for the District Dinner.

Would 3 or 4 Scouts (or more) from 104 be available to lead the opening?
Thank you!

Yours in Scouting,
Grant

• Have camped out at least several times
• Have camped with us at the October camporee and not been too cold — it will be a lot colder on this campout.
• Have cold weather equipment — a sleeping bag good down to at least 20 degrees, wool socks, balaclava or similar hat, etc
• Be prepared to spend a lot of time gathering firewood for warmth and to cook over ground fire 
• Be prepared to plan your own menu, shop, and bring your own food, and cook it without stoves — ground fires only

At this time we have four adult leaders and only 1 or 2 scouts signed up for the
December "cold weather" campout next weekend.

Everything Mr. Sherman mentioned about this campout is still true (scouts should
be relatively experience campers, you should have decent gear, etc), but we
didn't really want to scare everyone away!  This is a nice opportunity for a
relatively easy campout (only 3 meals!) with a smaller group.

If you are planning to attend, please send Mr. Thal (cc'd) and I an email
telling us as soon as you can, and bring the registration form to Monday's
meeting.  You will need to form cooking teams at the Monday meeting (those
scouts attending can break off during the meeting at some point to do the
planning).

As another bonus, I got a call from the Shooting Sports Director for Camp Citta
last night, and he told me that our troop could partake in rifle shooting if
desired.  This might be a great Saturday afternoon activity.

So, if you are a camper and have a warm bag, please consider signing up for this
trip ASAP.

Thanks,
Mr. McIntyre

We have two alternatives for events on Saturday, and here are the detailed logistics along with a list of anticipated  registrants (note: a paper permission slip will be required upon arrival unless you have turned in one already)

1) Watchung Reservation Orienteering Hike and Groundfire Cooking Lunch  --  10:00am — 3:00 pm (sharp)

* although there is no payment and we did not require advanced signup, please bring a signed copy of

  the attached Watchung permission slip (insurance liability and all…you know).

* Scouts should team up, provide their own food to cook for lunch, and bring it

* Scouts should bring a bottle or two of drinking water, as there will be no water in the reservation

* Scouting families provide their own transportation to and from the reservation — no going to the Church!

* Location is the Cub Scout Day camp area, just West of Trailside.  See http://goo.gl/maps/GfM6q

    Basically, this is an alternative activity to our campout, focused on learning and demonstration of some required 

    advancement skills.  It also offers a chance for outdoor activity while not encroaching on the first night of Hanukkah.

    Planned Adults: Bumiller, Kaiser, Resnicoff (?), Johns, Cheney (?), Lynch (?)

    Planned Scouts: Bonnell, Cheney, Eviner, Farrell, Holloway (?), Joshua, Lynch, Resnicoff, Scacifero, Trifiro, Venick(J)

2) Camping at Joseph A Citta Scout Reservation in the Pine Barrens, Saturday 9:00 until Sunday noon

* Meet at All-Saints Church at 9:00am Saturday morning

* We will rapidly pack the necessary gear into a couple of cars and head South asap

* Bring your own food to cook over ground fires — we've gone over this at meetings

* At least one scout hasn't turned in a permission slip — bring it Saturday morning — not optional!

   Another copy of the PDF is attached (but note that the incorrect dates are crossed out)

* Bring your warmest gear.  Although the forecast is for milder weather than anticipated, it might rain, and

    it may be colder than they anticipate!

    Planned Adults:  Sherman, McIntyre, Fisher

    Planned Scouts:  Gentile, Brown, Fisher, Genty

*** If you wish to sign up and you haven't, or vice versa, please send your change to t-104-leaders@yahoogroups.com.

     Just sending to one of us won't cut it — we have multiple adults handling multiple activities and we all need to stay

     "in the loop" on any planned changes.

Thanks,

Bill Sherman

Thinking of attending the Saturday Watchung Reservation Orienteering Hike and
Ground Fire Cooking event? Worried that you didn't find a buddy on Monday, or
that you'd have been the 3rd one?

No problem!  You don't have to be in a group of only 2... There is nothing wrong
with threesomes!  Just make sure that all 3 of you are contributing to the
group's meal!  This event is for YOU -- so attend if you want to.  In fact, we
sometimes have people who cook alone -- pairs is just a suggestion.

If you haven't yet brought in your annual registration paperwork and check for
$75, please bring them tomorrow night.  I will be collecting them.

The registration form is attached.  Please read it carefully and make sure you
fill in all the fields.  If you didn't attend summer camp this year, please also
fill in and return a BSA medical form (one was attached to Mr. Sherman's email
of 11/25).

See you tomorrow night,
Mr. McIntyre

Reminder !!

Though there might be some weather in town, we are going to celebrate Steven
Ho's Eagle Rank at an Eagle Court of Honor, Saturday 12/29 @ 2:00.

Location: All-Saints Lea Hall

Please come a little early to assure that the hall is set up, and wear your full
class A uniforms.

See you then!
Troop 104

Dear all,
I apologize for  the lateness of this email, but it is very important.  Tomorrow
the PLC has decided to hold a mandatory Uniform inspection.  When a we go out
for a Troop event, we represent our Troop and our town, and we do not want to be
mistaken for scouts who do not care.  This meeting is mandatory for all scouts
(unless a legitimate reason is given). Only those who show up to the meeting in
FULL CLASS A UNIFORMS will be able to participate in the games Monday evening.

We will be looking for:
-Class A shirt (no red shirts)
-Boy Scout pants (or if you do not own them jeans)
-Neckerchief (with slide)
-Belt
-Merit Badge Sash (if the scout has 6 merit badges or more ONLY)

If there are any issues or questions, please contact  me personally at my email
address listed bellow.
