A SCOUTMASTER MINUTE
——————————–
Cyber-Safety
The new Boy Scout rank requirements are starting to focus on this issue. As part of Youth Protection we need to start following the guideline that says that any e-mail communication involving a Scout and an adult should include at least one more adult in the communication. A good second […]

Message from Scoutmaster Hank Manz:
Troop 119 has arranged for a one-day leader training session. As the note from their Scoutmaster will explain, this is a great opportunity for training. Everybody who has an interest in being a leader in any capacity should take this training.
To tell us you are interested, please send […]

On Thursday, March 20, we’ll be holding a Life-to-Eagle Seminar for any Scouts who are interested. Parents are also more than welcome. The seminar will be at 7:30 pm, in the Library at St. Brigid’s (same building as our regular meeting, but down at the other end of the hall, closest to Massachusetts […]

From Scoutmaster Hank Manz’ e-mail last Sunday:

Troop 160 started a tradition a few years ago. For a variety of reasons we started lighting the bandstand in Hasting Park, across from the Hayden Ice Centre, for most of December. If you haven’t seen it before I can tell you it looks really neat all lighted up. Many societies have […]

From Scoutmaster Hank Manz:
I cannot be at the meeting this Thursday, so Mr. Bealieu will fill in for me.  Since I will not be there, I wanted to share a few things with you by e-mail.
1. A Cub leader has shared with me that when one of his Cubs needed first aid, a Scout who […]

Several quick notes, a couple of which repeat information sent out recently by the SPL:
