I wanted to pass some info to you regarding the up coming May trip - cooking competition.

The troop will be meeting Friday at 6:00pm. We are not taking the trailer and need for parents to help transport gear and scouts. In addition, we will also need help with the troop gear. This will also be needed on the return to the Scoutpost on Saturday night. Because of the parade it was discussed with senior troop members that giving the troop the night off would be a good thing and let them sleep in their own beds to be more refreshed for the Parade on Sunday. Please plan to pick up at 8:00 to transport scouts and gear to Scoutpost.

Any questions or issues, please contact me prior to Friday or if you have a question on Friday - please contact Rich Windus, Senior Assistant Scoutmaster

Thank you,
Quint Roth | Scoutmaster

On Monday March 5th, I will be holding a “Meet the Scoutmaster” meeting at the StallBrook Library. This meeting is mainly geared for the new parents but I encourage ALL parents to attend.

The purpose of this meeting is to give the parents of the scouts a chance to get to know me and my staff a little more. Also, we go over allot of questions that historically new parents have about Boy Scouts, Troop 14, and their sons new path on the Scouting trail.

If you have any questions you would like to provide ahead of time, please feel free to email me any questions you want asked in a anonymous manner, but to the group as a whole. Here is a perfect opportunity for me to use what you heard growing up: There are no bad or stupid questions. Well, maybe the ones that don’t get asked but then are they stupid if they are not asked? hmmmm

This is a very serious meeting, and I treat it as such. We get to talk about your most precious item: your son and his future.

Meeting details:
Date: March 5, 2012
Time: 7:00pm - 8:15pm
Place: StallBrook Elementary School, Library

Yours in Scouting,
Quint Roth | Scoutmaster
