Thank you everyone that was able to come support the Winterall staffers.  It was a little tight in the afternoon but we got it done.   Our troop has been staffing an event for the past few years and I hope that next year we can put together a team and compete in the games.

 

We have three scouts that need a board of review.  We are short handed for these important advancements.  If there are any adults that can volunteer for an hour or so, we could really use the help and it would be greatly appreciated.  Please let me know if you can make it.  

 

This is the last chance to get a slot locked in.  If you are wanting to take a few badges before they are all gone please contact Mrs. Romano at andie.romano@gmail.com or at 630-485-9908

 

Join me as I guide you into the amazing world of Citizenship in the Nation.  This is one of the biggest and most extensive merit badges that our troop presents. You will learn about our country from 1600 - 1790. There is so much information packed into this class that you will need to take notes. Just about 90% of the badge will be covered.

The price for this class will be $8.00 for lunch. Suggested age for the badge is 3rd years and up.

I hope everyone had a good weekend.  It was one of the rare occasions that we didn't have any scout stuff going on.  That of course is about to change.  Our entire month of February and the first half of March is filled with more goodies than you can shake a stick at.  Let's poke winter in the eye and let it know we are still active.

 

Just as in years past we will be helping the Cub Scouts at the flipping for fun station at Winterall.  The younger scouts will make a pancake, put it on a plate and toss it to a partner hoping they can catch it.  We will then gauge the distance and give the team a score.  Grading is from one to ten with a secret 11th point for great scout spirit.

As most of you know Joyce and Dave are wanting to move on at the end of 2022. Both of Joyce's son's have finished scouts and by the end of summer Dave's son's will have done the same. Typically key three leadership holds a three year term in troop one. That is one of the ways we can have a stable leadership pyramid. We are looking for a Committee chair understudy and a Treasurer understudy. During the course of the year you will be learning the ropes from Joyce and Dave on an almost month by month basis. Having the ability to see what they do and be trained by them in a practical manner. This, as stated above is a three year commitment and you would take over for either Committee chair or Treasure officially on 1/01/2023. If you are interested or would be willing to learn more please come to a meeting or talk to Joyce and Dave directly. These positions are open to any and all that want to work with them. The only requirement is that you MUST be a registered and a trained leader by 1/01/2023 to qualify.

 

 

For the longest time troop one has only had a private group page on Facebook. Now with the start of 2022 We finally have a public page that your friends, family or other potential scouts can see without needing an invite. If you have pictures from any of our events please share with the group and let's show off what we are doing in the new year. An Instagram account will be following in the next few months.

 

The cost per registered scout is 132.00 and the cost per Leader is 69.00. If there are any scouts out there that still have not paid for the 2022 season please contact Dave K and set up a payment plan with the troop.

We all know that these are not the best of times especially where finances are concerned. If any of our members need help with the cost of recharter please reach out to me (Stevan) and let me know. 

 

As everyone knows this is recruitment season. If you have a family member, a friend, an acquaintance or someone from another troop that may be looking to transfer then this is the time of year to do it. We all know that the only way for the troop to survive is for more people to join over the long run. If you know anyone that could potentially be interested in joining, please have them come to a meeting or outing.

 

I would like to thank everyone that was able to come to the reboot of the electronic gaming camp out.  Because we had to effectively place last year's camp-out on haitis we didn't know what was going to happen.  I am very glad to say that in the end it was a successful reboot and sets a good tone for the new year.  There is a lot to discuss regarding the coming weeks so ....

 

Let's Get Going
