Updates Week of 3/15 Troop 132/1132

[Matt Flannigan]

More information on the campout and Penguins night below.  We are looking for Scouts to do the grocery shopping for our upcoming campout.  Planning a menu, shopping, and cooking is part of rank advancement.  Please let me know who is interested in shopping for this campout.  We would also like to give a shoutout to our Scouts who last Wednesday competed in the Northeast Regional Science Olympiad Competition.  For the 2nd year in a row North Pocono took first place with individual medals in 21 of 23 events.  Great job scouts, we are proud of you.  Please start planning on Summer camp.  The payment window is now open and ends on May 13th.  WE are also collecting Medical forms.  They are also due May 13h.  Please start planning on getting those handed in.
