First Christian Church is recognizing Scout Sunday on February 3rd during
their 9:00 AM (traditional) and 10:30 (contemporary) services. Scoutmaster
Gill has requested at least 4-6 scouts be present 30 minutes before, during
and after each service time. *This is a service hours opportunity for
scouts.* Scouts should dress in their full Class A uniform with
neckerchief & slide. We also need a couple adults to be present as well
for proper 2 deep leadership. This is a great opportunity to showcase our

During Monday night’s Troop meeting, SPL Bryan O’Koniewski will be leading
a PLC (Patrol Leader Conference) to set up a year long schedule of meeting
activities and desired monthly events. All scouts are encouraged to attend
the meeting to provide input.

Additionally, the Troop Committee is in search of a new Activities Chair,
to plan and coordinate monthly camping activities and yearly Summer Camp.
Diane Gill, previously expressed her desire to step back from this
position, and thus far no one has stepped forward to do so. This role can
be performed by more than one person. If you are interested, please reach

Good snowy afternoon to everyone!

Your scouts have narrowed down their choices for 2019 summer camp to the
following 2 locations:

*Ingersoll Scout Ranch* – isrsummercamp.org/ (more information) –
see attached registration form for camp dates

*S bar F Scout Ranch – Famous Eagle* (same location as last year) –
stlbsa.org/s-bar-f-scout-ranch/ (dates and more information)

*Scoutmaster Gill will NOT be available to attend summer camp* this year
due to his commitment with the Troop’s 2019 Philmont Trek crew, taking
place from 7/15 to 7/27 not including travel days there and back.

Therefore, other adults are needed to take the lead on providing adult
leadership and planning for this year’s summer camp opportunity for our
younger scouts and those not going to Philmont. There is the potential for
6-12 Arrow of Light scouts to cross over to our Troop in the next several
months, so we fully anticipate a large number of scouts attending summer
camp. Summer camp is great opportunity for scouts to work on rank
advancements and earn several merit badges.

Before Monday night’s Troop meeting, please review the above website links;
paying close attention to camping weeks. The longer we wait to reserve a
campsite at one of these locations, the less likely we will get a desirable
week and campsite.

We are asking all adults that are interested in attending camp OR with
Scouts interested in attending, to *arrive by 8:00 PM on Monday night* to
have a group discussion about dates, adult participation, location,
planning, etc.

EHS Summer School dates: 6/4 to 7/17 (6 wk session) & 6/4 to 6/25 (3 wk
session);
Anticipated EHS Marching Band Camp dates: weeks of 7/29 and 8/5 (School
Board approves 2019-2020 school year calendar at their 1/14 meeting).

Thank you.

Troop Committee members

Good evening,

Tonight the Troop Committee discussed this coming weekend’s camping
activity. Due to the unpredictable forecast for snow and lack of adequate
adult participation, a decision was made to cancel.

As an alternative activity, Steve Kupsky, Troop Committee member and our
Unit Commissioner, has graciously offered to take any interested scouts to
Camp Warren Levis to check out the annual Klondike event being held there.
He will depart from First Christian Church parking lot at 10 AM and return
by 2 PM. Ideally, he would like another adult to accompany him he has
limited seating capacity and per BSA rules, he must transport at least 2 or
more scouts. If you are interested in participating, please contact Steve
directly at 314/265-8360 (text message) by Friday noon. Thank you.

Troop-216-Beaumont-Cabin-1.2019.pdf

Presently, 2 out of the 3 attending adults need to depart on Saturday
afternoon/evening, leaving Scoutmaster Gill as the remaining adult. This
is problematic due to 2 deep adult guidelines and return transportation for
12-13 scouts.

OPTIONS:
1) At the minimum, in order to proceed with the campout, we need 2
additional adults to commit to camping on Saturday night and transporting
scouts home on Sunday.

2) Plan to depart on Saturday afternoon together, but the Troop
(participants) would still be responsible for $80/night cabin fee (Beaumont
requires 2-night reservation).

3) Cancel the activity. Diane Gill is checking to see if there is a
cancellation cost.

I final decision on how to proceed will occur at tomorrow night’s Troop
Committee meeting, so please reply by 6:30 PM tomorrow night. Thank you.
