As the new school year nears I wanted to welcome everyone back to Troop 4 and update you on our calendar, our new web presence, and give a reminder that Monday is our first meeting.
First, we are going online to provide an easier way for me to communicate out and for you to get pertinent information in a single place. Our address is: http://troop4purdys.blogspot.com/ and I have already added everyone's email to the mail list. Please feel free to add additional addresses. On this one page you will find our up to date calendar, a resource file area where all Troop 4 documentation will be available. You can currently find the personal camping packing list, this years renewal form, and our proposed calendar for the entire school year ready for download. All updates and reminders will be posted here and when a post goes up everyone will receive an email with the contents of the post so you don't have to remember to check the site.
If you want to sync your calendar with our public calendar the URL is:
By clicking on this link your personal calendar will get all updates to the Troop calendar.
Next, our first meeting of the year is this coming Monday at 7:30 in the Purdys UMC. Same time and place as last year. I expect the meetings to take between 75-90 minutes each week. For our first meeting I would like to see everyone in uniform.
We have a busy calendar and our Patrol Leader and Quartermaster have already been meeting to make sure the plans for the early part of the year are in place and under way, so thanks to Chris and Will for the work they have already started.
Our first event is a campout with the Webelos from 9/20-9/22. Will Isler will review the details with the scouts on Monday. Please let your scouts know if they will be able to attend. Will needs to know who is going so he can work out on Monday who will lead which activities with the Webelos.
We also have two community events planned for October and November and the scouts will fill in the gaps on our outings during the first meeting when they decide on what they want to do over the next 3-4 months.
Looking forward to another great year.
Trip Balch
Scoutmaster
