Good Scouting

Monday night the Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) met and detailed out the plan for the DropOff & SwapOff and Cross Over events. The team  also covered the Nantucket Bike Trip planning details and they did a nice job organization the outings.  This made the Tuesday night Troop meeting a bit more successful, even though there was a lot to cover.
This weekend reminders:

• The DropOff & SwapOff spring and fall events are our only two Troop required service projects.
• Cross Over on Scout Island is this weekend and we may have 20 new boys joining the Troop, so we need your assistance.

Elections for Senior Patrol Leader and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader will be held on May 8 and will be organized by JASM Alex Cancio.  The patrols will also elect their patrol leaders the same night.
I have will be traveling for the next three weeks with my job and my involvement with the Sea Education Association (www.sea.edu), where I help out as an overseer. Mr. Cancio has graciously offered his assistance at Troop meetings and I will be back for the bike trip. I will be reachable through cell and email if you need signatures, so I look forward to hearing from you. 
With the elections, we may have some leadership changes for the next term (May, June and July/August), but I wanted to recognize the good scouting and leadership that has been provided by SPL Logan Prewitt and the ASPL's Aiden and JJ. Additionally Miles, Simon, Nick, and Lucas have served as leaders. These boys are incredibly dedicated to the troop and committed to troop meetings, camping trips and PLC meetings. They take the job as leaders seriously and contribute to a well planed, boy-led troop which we are all proud of. This is also a time to recognize the other positions of responsibility, who also lead by example and demonstrate their commitment to scouting: Ben C, Kevin, Xander, Henry, Erik, Luke, Ben and Will. They have served as Den Chiefs, Bugler, Scribe/Historian, TroopGuide/PL for the Webelos, and Troop Quartermaster. Keep up the good work and the corresponding attention to detail that is needed to keep the troop running.
