Chairman’s Corner
I hope everyone had a Happy Holiday and I wish everyone a healthy 2003. I
want to thank all of the adults who have volunteered their time to make the
Troop's program a success. A Hearty BULLY!!! to all volunteers.
PARTICIPATION/ADVANCEMENT
I have taken note that their were few
awards/advancements at the December Court of Honor/Parents Night. I urge all
parents to talk to their sons about their progress, as this will help Mr.
Shields and Mr. Andrzejewski when they talk to the Scouts about their progress.
Participation in Troop meetings, Campouts and
activities are important part of the Boy Scout Advancement Program Requirements.
While we are mindful of the many different school and sports activities in
which the boys participate, your son’s participation in the Troop's program is
necessary in order for him to advance.
Leadership is an important requirement, for Scouts
seeking to earn the ranks of Star, Life and Eagle. Each Scout is required
to demonstrate at the Board of Review that, to the best of his ability, he
actively fulfilled this requirement.
I would also remind all Eagle Candidates that they
should get their project ideas approved by the their Advisor, Troop Advancement
Chairman and Scoutmaster and then the District Eagle Board Chairman as soon as
possible
EAGLE COURT OF HONOR
All of our Scout Families are reminded that we would
like all of our Scouts and their families to attend the Eagle Scout Court of
Honor scheduled for MARCH 23, 2003. The Breakfast will begin at
10 AM in St. Raymond's School Cafeteria. All Catholic Scouts are urged to
attend the 9 AM Mass. ALL SCOUTS ATTENDING WILL BE RECOGNIZED WITH AN
AWARD(S) ON THIS DAY. The Troop puts out a Journal for this Court of
Honor and we ask that each family to help solicit advertisements for the
Journal. The Troop will soon be sending out letters to each Scout Family, with
further information on our Journal and Eagle Scout Court of Honor.
TREASURE ISLAND
I am pleased to announce that the Troop will be
attending TI during the week of July 6-12. A $50 deposit, for each Scout AND
Adult leader, payable to Troop 332, is due by February 14,
2003. The fee balance due is $175 per Scout. (Adults pay only the
deposit). Parents may sign up as adult leaders for all or part of the week.
More information will be forthcoming.
FUNDRAISING
I want to thank all of the Scouts and Leaders who
participated in the Popcorn sales campaign> BULLY!
A reminder to all to continue to bring deposit bottles
and cans to Troop Meetings. Remember to put your names on/in the bags.
50th ANNIVERSARY PARTY
The Troop's November 9th 50th Anniversary Party was a
success. Everyone had a great time. It was good to see all of the Troop's
alumni in attendance. It was especially wonderful that the Troop's founding
Scoutmaster, Ed Venable, was able to attend with his family. A BULLY!!!
to Diane Laukaitis and the Party Committee for a job well done.
Thanks, Chairman Ed
