This week’s meeting location

This week’s Troop meeting will be held at 159 Center Road in Vernon.   

People can park on the side yard two deep.  Pull in the driveway and park starting at the the red garage pulling in so a car can park behind them.  Car pooling would be a great idea.  And if the paving is done on Crestridge they could park there as well and walk across the street.

Please bring your own chair.

Please help spread the word to your patrol or to anyone who may not recieve this message.  

Thank you and see you soon!!

Found Sash at Summer camp 

Mike P. was contacted about a scout sash being found at summer camp. If you lost yours at camp, please let Mike know.  

Urgent: this week’s Troop Meeting

​Please read the message I just recieved from Steve Michaud.  

Urgent!
Elks just informed that they will be utilizing the entire Elks complex Thursday for a large induction.

Would you put a message to the whole troop to find an alternative site for this Thursday’s meeting. 

We need to have this meeting in order to process Martha’s Vineyard trip.

Sorry to break up this nice day.

Thanks again,

Steve
