The calendar sign up is open for our first two campouts.  If you are planning to attend the campouts, please sign up via the calendar.

Goshen Scout Reservation is offering four one-week sessions during July that include the New Scout program and merit badge programs.  Registration is $125/week, and includes a family camp weekend.  For the New Scout program, Scouts will learn a variety of Target First Class skills, but MUST demonstrate these skills to a Troop 129 leader afterwards in order to receive credit.  For Scouts registering for merit badges, please note that some badges cannot be competed in full during HomeCamping; local T129 counselors can be assigned afterwards. Parents: Upon registering your Scout, please notify both Mr Gutierrez, Scoutmaster, and Mrs Biesada, Advancement Chair, so appropriate follow-up can occur.  https://www.gotogoshen.org/camps-programs/scouts-bsa/#downloads

This event will take place at the WPC picinic tables. We will be setting up as we would on a camping trip: make a dining room and a kitchen, cook breakfast and lunch, learn how to set up the tents, how to pack a backpack. If there's time, we'll cover knife, axe, and saw use and care.The Scouts that participate need to bring the following: 

Scouts & Families: Our June Court of Honor will be held via Zoom this Tuesday, 6/23/2020, at 7:15 pm.  The Zoom invitation link is in the calendar event description.  Our Court of Honor program can also be found in the calendar event description, or in the "read more" section of this message. Congratulations to all Scouts being recognized.  We look forward to seeing everyone this Tuesday!

We will be holding our Court of Honor on June 23 virtually through zoom. For this to happen, we will be creating a slideshow to recognize all the scouts who have completed merit badges, rank advancements, and other achievements during the last few months. For this slideshow, we are requesting an image of each scout in uniform who will be receiving an award so we can add it to the presentation. Below will be the list of scouts earning awards, along with the email to send the pictures to.

Scouts & Parents:  Thank you for following our established procedures and requesting permission from the Scoutmaster to work on merit badges online.  Please just don't forget to send your registration confirmation information for the badge(s) once you've signed up, so we can ensure you are working with a rostered merit badge counselor. To assist Mr Gutierrez in these efforts, the registration confirmations should be sent to Mrs Biesada, Advancement Chair. And if you'd like to work on a merit badge that isn't being offered online, the troop has counselors ready and willing to work with you at your own pace.  Scouts can fill out a blue card with their information and the desired badge -- blue cards are in the cooler at Mr Gutierrez's home.
