In-Person Troop Meetings

We’re going to continue meeting in-person as troops but continue to do so responsibly. Both units will be following simple guidelines addressed in Mrs. Danner’s May 31st email.

Things to remember:

1. Monitor your personal and family health. Before every meeting: that your scout or family hasn’t had a fever in the last 2 weeks, hasn’t been sick in the last 2 weeks, and currently have no fever.
2. Temperatures will be scanned before entering meeting space.
3. Continue good hand washing / sanitizing practices - with additional washing / sanitizing as activities require.
4. Wear a cloth mask or face covering: whenever inside a building or when within 6 feet of another person.
5. Disinfect surfaces after each meeting.

The troop leadership will continue to monitor the situation, feedback from parents, and recommendations of health officials.

Got Advancement?

Looking to have requirements signed off? Remember, it’s up to you to seek out a scout First Class or Above to test and sign off on your requirements. Once they’ve dated and initialed your advancement sheet, drop it in the box and it will get recorded in Scoutbook. Not in the box or without the initials of whoever signed it off? It doesn’t get recorded.

What about Merit Badges? Once you decide you want to work on a badge, fill out a Blue Card and take it to Mr. Landquist or Mrs. Tahtinen to sign off. They’ll also help you find merit badge counselors. Having issues contacting a counselor? Let Mr. Landquist or Mrs. Tahtinen know so they can help find another counselor.
