Troop 2020 Potential COVID-19 Exposure Notification

Today we learned that one of our Scouts in Troop 2020 was exposed to someone with COVID-19 and has developed symptoms. This Scout attended our November 4th Troop meeting before learning of the potential exposure prior to the meeting. Due to the potential exposure for those that attended last week’s Troop meeting, this week’s Troop meeting will be held virtually on Zoom and the campout this weekend will be cancelled.

If carpooling is the only option for your scout to be able to participate then please make sure to give your permission below for your scout to ride with others that do not reside in the same household to and from the campout. This option is dependent on there being a driver willing to transport scouts that don’t live in their household. You may be asked by the driver to provide vaccination status.

Council’s Carpooling guidelines – We still do not recommend carpooling when avoidable. If you do carpool, we ask the unit employ permission slips and uses masks in the vehicles (unless all within the same family unit masks would not be required.)

Camp Pomperaug Update

The leaders decided at last night’s Troop meeting to change to tent camping, instead of lean-to camping, at Camp Pomperaug. Please see the updated guidance from Council. Note: Lean-to camping falls into the same bucket as cabin camping.
