Welcome back summer campers!  Troop meeting is set for July 22nd, 7PM, Livorna Park.  BRING TROOP EQUIPMENT!  Meet with the Advancement Chair / Assist Chair to submit your updates for your Scout record and or return completed blue cards.  Pick up any forgotten items from the summer camp Lead Adults.

PARENTS: To support the many troop outings, the troop (and each family) has invested in high quality camping equipment. Please help the troop keep the camping equipment clean and intact. CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR SCOUT BROUGHT ANY TROOP CAMPING EQUIPMENT HOME AFTER AN OUTING. If yes, please clean and return to the Troop Scout Quartermaster Neil R.

The troop asks for your support in getting this accomplished. Please help your scout remember what he needs to do with the equipment, so the troop can continue providing these items to other scouts. Further details are located on the troop website; far left column, "Returning Troop Equipment".

SCOUTS, Now is the time to check your records in Scoutbook  If you don’t have access to Scoutbook, please ask your parents to grant you access.  You can see your BSA ID #, rank, completed merit badges, leadership position, patrol, contact information (parents, address, phone number), to name a few details in your record.  It is good to check this information during your scout journey so that you are familiar with these records (and the records are correct) when you start work towards Eagle.  Questions?  Please reach out to the Advancement Chair.

Troop 216 has a mandatory volunteer commitment which families choose a Troop 216 volunteer position at the time of joining and each year in November.  Please take a look at the listing of volunteers (left column, "Troop 216 Mandatory Adult Volunteering", and make sure you have been listed correctly.  It is important that you immediately take on your position; proactively registering under T216 with National and Council, ask questions if you don't know how to take on your position or look to the previous volunteer for assistance.  IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A VOLUNTEER position or you are listed for a POSITION INCORRECTLY, please contact Membership Chair Suketu Khandhar.

The troop committee reserves the right to drop a family, if the family does not fulfill their volunteer responsibilities at any time during the year.  Questions?  Please contact Committee Chair Kevin Ha.
