Alamo Farmer's Mkt Harvest Festival, October 18th, Scouts and parent volunteers are needed to manage the activities at the Kids Zone during this local community Farmer's Market event - 12th Annual Harvest Festival, 9-11A

All Scout Leaders are required to attend their PLC Meeting, Roundtable Pizza in Alamo Plaza at 7P. Leadership will discuss and decide on the upcoming month's troop meeting activities. Questions? Contact your SM.

All, the remaining funds reserved for Eagle projects will be strictly reserved for the placement of a plaque that denotes a dedication to Rob Kirby, whose family were the original donors of the initial $1,000 donation, which were earmarked for usage in T216 Eagle projects.

Three prior projects were funded through these funds, however, through a variety of reasons, the plaque was not utilized. All but $250 remains. These remaining funds will be strictly reserved for a future Eagle project that can prominently display this plaque, for example, on a post, the structure, embedded in concrete in the ground, etc. This plaque is a hefty plaque that will require consideration in its incorporation, as it weighs several pounds.

Having said the above, the funds for Eagle projects will conclude upon disbursement of the final $250 (for utilizing this plaque). If you have any questions regarding these funds, please reach out to Scoutmaster Derek Jue or Committee Chair Kevin Ha. Thanks for your understanding!

The troop will head to Camp Royaneh in 2027!  July 11th - 17th. Royaneh is located about 2.5 miles south of the town of Cazadero in Sonoma County on the Cazadero Hwy.  Sign up and pay your deposit to Troop 216, to secure your spot.  This group will need at least 3 adults; so please consider joining this group for the entire week or part of the week.  

Though not mandated via the national organization, Troop 216 will be implementing a new policy for the upcoming academic year where all registered scouts will require at least one adult registration (guardian, parent, caretaker) per family. There will be no exceptions. If a family has multiple registered scouts within the troop, at least one adult application is needed.

This policy will help ensure a smooth process for spurious participation in any scout-facing activity that includes outings, service projects, overnight camps, etc. Furthermore, this will enable the troop to more quickly engage adult volunteers as needed.

Adult applications/registrations take place via the same portal where youth scout registrations take place on my.scouting.org. Please designate Troop 216 as your unit (if you have children in Cub Packs please submit Troop 216 as "multiple units" designation). Adult applications by default will require Safety for Youth Training (SYT) along with background checks, all handled online via the same my.scouting.org website.

Alternatively, please use this link to complete an adult application for T216

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy change, please text or call me at 415-525-2787.

Thanks,

Kevin, T216 CC
