Barbara Goodman will be at the March 25th Parent Meeting to sell Class B shirts to all the new scouts (parents) who have bridged over. The shirts are only in Adult Sizes, Small - XXL. They are $20 each. You can pay cash or make a check payable to BSA Troop 216.

We have enabled the Calendar Sync function on the website. If you would like to sync the troop calendar in your personal calendar, go the Calendar Sync link under your user name in the top left menu. Select your platform and there will be detailed instructions on how to set it up.

It is important to not only read the e-blast but to also check the Troop website periodically. The e-blast only contains the most current information and upcoming events. Not all events require registration or it may have not been enable yet so it is important to check the calendar for future events. To check the full troop calendar, be sure to go to Calendar in the left menu. We also ask that everyone registers for outings at least 2 weeks prior so the scouts and leaders have time to prepare menus and plan logistics. If you can't remember your login, Anne Siri know and she will reset your account and send you an e-mail.

If you are all paid up for Camp Wente, Great! If you have one more payment, please get it to me right away because I need to send the check to Wente in order to get our paying early discount. Thank you,
Debbie Wiesenthal. More Info – Contact Debbie (925) 395-6199, email sjwco2002@yahoo.com or DebbieZumba@gmail.com

Summer camp is a huge part of scouting. Most importantly the camps are fun! The kids fill their summer time with great activities (at prices that can’t be beat) and what happens is the kids really strengthen their friendships and cement their relationships. Many of our scouts earn most of their merit badges at summer camps. Most of our scouts easily rank up along the path to eagle at the summer camps. Kids who got to camp tend to want to stay in scouting. And, again, most important, the camps are fun! For more information please visit the calendar entry for Wente.

Please don't forget your Friends of Scouting donation or pledge. Our Scout leaders urge you to join us in this effort to keep the Scout program the dynamic, character building experience it has been for your child and other youth.
Sincerely,
Michael Chew
FOS Coordinator
