Bellingham Boy Scout Troop 14

May 25, 2020

Dear Scouting Family:

We hope that you are safe and healthy during this challenging time. Over the past several months, your Council leadership has been carefully monitoring the impact COVID-19 has had on our communities and on our Scouting program. While we are hopeful that restrictions will soon be adjusted to allow for some version of face-to-face Scouting meetings and outdoor activities, we are not quite there at this time. State guidelines still limit group size to no more than 10 people and camping, parks and select sports are planned to reopen in Phase 2. For the safety of our Scouts, Scouters and community, we are extending the suspension of all face-to-face meetings and our property closures through June 15, which is consistent with the phased reopening of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Highlights from the meeting last night with:

• Troop 14 – Bellingham, Massachusetts
• Troop 214 – Cedar Rapids, Iowa
• Troop 531 – Phoenix, Arizona
• Troop 669 – Escondido, California
• Troop 768/630 – Ramona, California

Presentation

The meeting is to discuss what we know now at 7:30 pm on May 8th via Zoom see e-mail for connections.

Dear Scouting Family,

We hope that you remain safe and well during these unusual times. Like you, we are carefully monitoring the impact COVID-19 has on our communities and the guidance from our public officials, especially mandatory closure dates. For the safety of our Scouts, Scouters and community, we are extending our closures through May 31.
