Scoutmaster Minute: Working from home is not all its cracked up to be….at least not under these circumstances. Needless to say this is the hand we have been dealt, so I ask everyone to simply Do Your Best. I cannot offer certainty in what lies before us, but I have worked with my fellow leaders to offer some structure to keep us moving forward together. This will begin with an expectation for 100% attendance at Tuesday’s virtual meeting…after all there is no where else to be. We will proceed with planning on some leadership training, but that might take a little time to adjust to fit this new paradigm. For the moment the Spring Court of Honor and New Scout Campout will postpone until we can meet face-2-face again (TBD).
Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

Required Activity, March 31: Cyber Chip (ALL)

This virtual Troop meeting will be hosted using Zoom. Please attempt to connect a few minutes before 7pm. This platform is pretty simple and will we be taking attendance.
Once connected, please place yourself on mute and if there is a question or problem use the chat function to notify leaders. Otherwise a party call with 60 Scouts and parents get a bit noisy.
