Summer Camp at Camp Rodney - July 23-29

Troop

Message:

The Troop will be returning to Camp Rodney this year (23-29 July) for a week of Scouting activities, Merit Badge opportunities, fun and camaraderie.

Merit badge sign up opens on April 1, and you must be registered. For best selection, you'll want to sign up soon!

Camp Rodney offers an excellent opportunity for Scouts of all ages and ranks. They have a strong first-year program that introduces new Scouts to the world of Scouting and provides the opportunity to complete several rank requirements and merit badge opportunities, which really helps first-year Scouts start their journey off on a strong footing. It is also a great place for Scouts to earn or complete partial badges that are hard to get outside of camp like shooting, archery, watersports, and boating.

The Cost is $575 per Scout and $220 per adult through the Troop PayPal account. If you pay by check, the cost is $565 for Scouts and $210 for adults. The price goes up by $30 after 1 May. If your Scout sold Christmas wreaths, 80% of the profit can be credited to that Scout's camp costs. Contact me if this applies to you or if you have questions.

Please register on the Troop 129 website as soon as possible so we can get an accurate count!

Scout Sunday - attending service and serving Fellowship Hour

Message:

Feb 19 is the date our chartering organization has chosen for the celebration of Scout Sunday for Scouts BSA, timed to fall near the February 8 anniversary of the BSA. We pay our respects to the religious institutions who support our program, as they pay their respect to the Scouting groups that serve them.

Of course in the case of Troop 129, we have direct support from Westminster Presbyterian Church as our chartering organization. We request those who are comfortable to come out and attend one of the two services on Feb 19; at 8:30 AM in the Church Chapel OR 11:00 AM in the Sanctuary (or both). We ask you attend in uniform so the church and parishioners may see the strong link we have with them.

This is for any Scout, not just those who are members of WPC, as we all share in the support from WPC.
Scouts may volunteer to hand out bulletins, and we could use a scripture reader at both services. Please arrive early if you are willing to contribute for either of these.
Additionally, Scouts will serve during the Fellowship Hour to follow the 11 AM service in Fellowship Hall: setting up and helping handout snacks and beverages, and tidying up at the end.

Please register on the calendar event sign up, and indicate which service(s) you can attend, and if you would be willing to read a scripture or hand out the bulletins.
Registered participants, will receive the annual Scout Sunday pocket patch.
Any questions, please reach out to Mr. Berlett or Mr. Buchanan
