Parents Committee Meeting- Wednesday, January 8 at 7:30 PM. Link may be foundhere. All parents are strongly encouraged to attend.
No Troop Meeting- Allamuchy Camping trip. More information to follow. Please note that there is a waiting list for this trip, so if you need to cancel, please let me know.
Cell Phone Policy- I want to discuss this at the committee meeting and have the committee make the final decision, but after numerous conversations with parents, other adult leaders and the youth leaders, this is what I have- you can bring your cell phones if you want to use on the car rides to and from camp. On Friday evening, one of the adults will collect the phones from everyone except the Senior patrol/JASMs. The Senior Patro/JASMs can keep their phones but cannot use them for any non-scouting related purpose during the day and are subject to a 1 strike policy (one unauthorized use and they lose the phone). Everyone can have their phones back for 15 minutes at dinner time on Saturday if they want to check in at home. Then the phones are collected again and given back after thorns, buds and roses on Sunday. All adults will have their phones in case of an emergency. I will provide a list of the leaders attending and their phone numbers in my e-mail with the trip information.
Klondike Derby- Troop 37, the 2023 Klondike Derby Champions , will be returning to the Klondike Derby this year onFebruary 1, 2025, at Pouch Camp. Cost is $20 per scout. Payment is due by Friday, January 24.
Scout Sunday Court of Honor and Brunch- Sunday, February 2- All scouting families are invited to join together for Scout Sunday, a day designated to the 12th point of the Scout Law, and which allows scouts to show their commitment to “Duty to God.” We will be attending 10:30 mass at St. Teresa’s followed immediately by our Cout of Honor brunch in the gym. All active Troop 37 scouts are paid for by the Troop. There is no charge for children under 12. For everyone else, the cost is $25 per person. Please note that as this is a catered event, we must have payment and an accurate headcount (including your scout) by Friday, January 24.
February Trip- We will be cabin camping at Quail Hill Scout Reservation in Manalapan, NJ from February 21-23. Cost is $35 and payment is due as soon as possible, but no later than Friday, February 7.
