Are you the parent of a new Scout? Do you have questions about patrols, advancement, campouts, equipment, summer camp, or anything else? Troop 160 will be having an orientation session for parents of new Scouts. It will be during the Troop meeting on Thursday, March 23, from 7:30 to 8:45. We look forward to seeing you then.

West Point Camporee signup
We just received the information package for the West Point Camporee. The Camporee will be held May 5-7 at the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York.
There are some optional activities on Friday, May 7, so we’ll probably do what we did last year. Those who can go down early will do so, set up camp, and participate in some activities. Those who can’t go down earlier will leave after school, and still be able to do everything on Saturday and Sunday.
We need to register soon, so we need everyone to give us their signup sheets and money by the Troop meeting on April 23 MARCH 23 (two weeks from today). The signup sheets will be handed out at the Troop meeting tonight, and can also be downloaded below. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me (Barry Griffiths).
As always, camperships are available as needed — click here for more information.

Mountaineering photography show
On Tuesday, March 7 at 7:00PM at Diamond Middle School Ed Webster, an accomplished and world renowned mountaineer, photographer and author will be presenting a lecture and slide show on many of his experiences. He grew up in Lexington and now resides in Topsham, Maine. Far more details in this flyer.
Although this event is sponsored by the Diamond PTA, all Lexington Boy Scouts and parents are welcome to attend.

Adults only: Water & climbing safety training
Swim safely/Safety Afloat & Climb on Safely training will be offered at the
District roundtable this Wednesday, March 8, at 7:30PM at St. Brigid’s. All adults are welcome. We do have a climbing trip & a canoe trip scheduled in June,
and we will need adults who are certified in these areas.
Normally we have to travel for this kind of training, but it is right at our
own location (St. Brigid’s), and it does not take long.
Hope to see you there.
