— Happy Sunday Everyone,

We have received new guidance from BSA regarding being able to meet
indoors, especially since the temperature and the full transition to the
fall season has occurred. The church has approved us being able to meet in
the fellowship hall providing we follow all standard COVID protocols. This
includes the wearing of masks, social distancing, using hand sanitizer,
limiting our numbers to under 50, and signing in to accommodate contract
tracing if needed.

We will go back to meeting at 700pm. I’d like to thank everyone for all
their patience and adherence to the rules of social distancing during these
challenging times. it is because of this that Troop 216 has been able to
continue the scouting program while remaining safe during this global
pandemic. I’d like to also thank our charter rep, Mike Veith for his
support working with the church to accommodate all our needs.

If there are any questions, please feel free to call,email, or text me.

Yours in Scouting,

Mike OKoniewski 618-791-3956
