WE have been asked to participate in quite a few parades and America 250 celebrations this summer. Please if you can make every effort to participate. This is a great way to show our troop pride to the communities we serve. We have a parents meeting June 24th at Covington park. This is our last chance to go over everything before camp. It is mandatory for all parents whose scouts are going to camp to attend. Medical forms for summer camp are overdue. Please get them in. If you do not turn in a completed Medical form you will not be allowed to attend camp. Any scout 14 years or older our council is looking for help staffing Parent/Pal as well as Day Camp in August. Please see Mr. Flannigan ASAP if you wish to help out. If you need Class B shirts for camp please visit our troop store to order them. The link is below. Please allow enough time for them to be made. The closer we get to camp the harder it will be for them to complete your order in time. I have had more summer events below please read through the email.
Troop Meetings Summer Camp 2026 Date: July 12th-18th Location: Goose Pond Cost: $455 by May 13th
Do not wait until the last minute. Health forms are also due by May 27th. Parts A, B1, B2, and C as well as a copy of your scouts health insurance card. The scout CANNOT attend camp without this paperwork. We need time to go through the forms to make sure everything is filled out properly so they do not get turned away at camp. Also, your scout cannot register for summer camp merit badges or special programs until payment is made. There are classes that have a cap on how many kids can participate. Roaring Brook America 250 Ceremony WE have been invited to participate in an America 250 Celebration for Roaring Brook Twp. This is a great opportunity to get a requirement completed for the Liberty in Action patch. Let’s try to represent our troops with a good showing.
Summer Camp 2026 Meeting When: June 24th Where: Covington Park Time: 6:30pm
All scouts attending summer camp are required to attend this planning meeting. Also, parents of scouts attending camp are required to be in attendance. We will be going over camp policies and everything your scout needs to have with them for camp.
Lions Club Fireworks Extravaganza The troop has been asked to participate in a ceremony celebrating America 250 the night of the fireworks. We are working on the final details and will share as soon as we have all the info. Please plan to attend in your Class A uniforms for this very special night. This will count for anyone that wants to work on Scouting America’s Liberty in Action Award.
Firework Cleanup Service Project Every year the troop participates in helping clean up from the fireworks the night before. This is once again a great opportunity to gain community service hours. The Lions Club does a lot for our troops. WE need to be there to help return the favor with cleanup. Many hands make for light work.

Summer camp requires Parts A, B1, B2, and C, along with a copy of your health insurance card. Please do not wait until the last minute to submit updated forms.
