ADULT BACKGROUND CHECKS - IMPORTANT NEWS!
Recently all Troop 6 families were sent a letter from our Committee Chair
regarding the DUMC Safe Sanctuaries program. As a result, ALL adults that
are not currently registered with the BSA will need to have a background
check performed and submitted in order to be a driver for camping
trips/events, attend campouts/events with the Scouts. This policy is
effective October so please jump on this now to avoid a lack of drivers for
campouts or dads having to miss out on attending fun camping trips or day
events! The letter from Committee Chair can be found under FORMS.
STAR & LIFE SERVICE PROJECT OPPORTUNITIES!
Under “Resources” you will find a list of potential project ideas for those Scouts needing their Star or Life service hours. Some of these are helping with annual projects our Scouts have supported in the past and the sponsor reaches out to the Troop for help each year. This list also gives you some ideas on where to look for service hour opportunities in our community or with non-profit organizations!
NEW LIFE RANK E.D.G.E. REQUIREMENT
Scouts that do not possess the 2010 BSA Handbook need to know that an additional requirement has been added for LIFE requirements. It is Req. 6, teaching the EDGE method to a younger scout. There are specific Second and First Class requirements that must be used to teach. See the "Life Rank EDGE Requirement under FORMS for the specific information. Paper copies can be obtained from your Scoutmaster. Note that planning and coordination including together on camping trips is necessary.
WORN, TATTERED FLAGS NEEDED FOR RETIREMENT CEREMONY!
Troop 6 prides ourself in teaching our Scouts how to properly and respectfully retire our nation’s flag when it is worn and tired. However, donations have not occurred and we are now out of a supply of flags! Please help us by bringing us your flags or reach out to neighbors or places of businesses so we can continue this campfire activity.
Let Us Know When Your Email Address Changes!
Please remember to inform us if your email address has changed. Without the correct email you will not receive information. Besides letting us know of your new address, please include in the email that it is replacing. Thank you for helping us maintain an accurate listing of contacts! Send your notice to: Troop6_Doylestown@verizon.net
Turn In Your Used Merit Badge Books!
Did you borrow a merit badge book from the Troop Library or perhaps bought a new one for camp this summer? If you are done with the badge, please donate as keeping an inventory of books holds down cost for families!
Label Personal Gear!
We continue to end up with lost & found items. MOST are never claimed for some unknown reason even when we show Scouts the items! You can avoid costly and inconvenient loss of your personal gear by scribing or labeling your name on each and every item!
