November Trip, Day Hiking Cannon Mountain, Nov 16

rohanian — Wed, 13 Nov 2019 20:05:37 -0500

Message:

With consideration of the forecast for this weekend and discussion with the committee, we have decided to downgrade this weekend's trip to a day hike.

It is expected to be very cold on Saturday, such that it would not be safe to camp without cold weather gear, which most scouts do not own. However, a winter hike is still within reach.

If you were reluctant to join us for the camping trip, please reconsider and join us for the day hike. It will be lots of fun.

Be Prepared! It will be snowing this week in the area and be cold on Saturday with the high around 20F, so plan ahead.

Snow boots,
hiking socks
snow pants,
several layers of shirts, sweaters, and jackets,
hat,
ski gloves,
thin gloves
and a backpack to put it all in.
And no cotton please (Seriously, no cotton pants or sweatshirts or jackets)

And bring food and water. Bars are best. (Cliff bars are my favorite) Things you can eat with your gloves on. Sandwiches are good too.

Snow! Though I don't expect to see a lot of snow, It will be worth having something to keep you feet from slipping. Bring your snowshoes, or micro spikes.

Buy Micro-spikes here They are cheap and effective. you will use them for years to come. I have a few extra sets. let me know if you want to borrow one.

We will be meeting at Abbot School at 7am, as was the original plan, returning late afternoon/early evening.

The trip fees will be refunded for those who have already paid, as this will no longer have any expenses. But the scouts will need a few bucks in case we stop for dinner on the way home.

Please feel free to ask any questions about the trip or what to bring etc. I am here to help.

Yours in Scouting,

-Mr. Anderson

"New" 2016 Rank Requirements now mandatory for all Scouts

awmckeen — Wed, 11 Jan 2017 20:52:42 -0500

Message:

At the start of 2016 the BSA released updated rank requirements and provided a year long transition period. That period is now over and all Scouts must use the new requirements.

For scouts with old handbooks (almost everyone in the troop who did't join this year) you can print out a new Rank Requirements Insert and staple or paperclip it in whole or just select pages into your handbook. Once you have the new requirements insert you can work with older scouts or the Scoutmaster to transfer requirements you have completed into the new insert.

If you have any questions please contact the Scoutmaster.
