What’s New In The Troop:
New US Flag Donated to Troop 6!
Have your recently noticed how sharp, bright and crisp the US Flag is on our flag pole? Well, that is due to the generosity of Mr. Richard Fetzer, who many years ago was an assistant scoutmaster in Troop 6. His son is an Eagle Scout from our troop as well – check it out on the plaque in the hallway showcase! Thanks Mr. Fetzer for your generosity and your continued support to Troop 6 and Scouting!
Our Newest Eagle Scouts!
Adam J., Nick L. and Adam H. are our newest Eagle Scouts in Troop 6! Adam J’s ECOH is May 9, Nick L’s is June 13, and Adam H’s is to be scheduled. Scouts are expected to attend the Eagle Courts of Honor and we encourage families to attend as well. Someday YOU may attend Eagle and will appreciate the courtesy or your fellow Scouts attending!!

6/1 - $40.00 Bus Transportation Due
Goose Pond Information!
We have 43 Scouts attending summer camp July 12-18. Watch for an informational packet with all the details coming out and merit badge selection. This will be Troop 6’s first return to Goose Pond since 2005 and we all look forward to a fun week. July is just around the corner!
June Camping Trip – Rafting on the Lehigh River!
SAVE THE DATES-JUNE 19-21!! This has become a favorite in Troop 6. Camping at Mauch Chunk Park in Jim Thorpe, PA and rafting down the Lehigh means a fun a laid-back weekend following the end of the school year! Dads are invited to attend and join in the fun! Watch the website for the permission slip!
IMPORTANT! BSA Revises Policy for Medical Forms!
BSA has eliminated the Class 1, 2, 3 Medical forms and replaced with a new
form with 3 parts AND ANNUAL PHYSICALS ARE NOW MANDATORY! See the new form under "Forms" and an Instruction Sheet for what you need to do and when they are due. New forms must now be submitted in order for Scouts to attend weekend or summer camp. Scouts and Leaders not complying will not be allowed to camp or attend special functions!
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!
THANK YOU!
Troop 6 THANKS Scott Cornell of A.H. Cornell & Son for donating heavy equipment, and dump truck and labor to excavate the site at Nockamixon State Park for Jake’s Project. Without their support, several hundred man-hours of hand-digging would have been necessary. Also a big THANKS to Right-Weigh company in Glenside for donating scales used to weigh the apples for our Apple Sale bagging day. Without their generous donation, the Troop would have had to purchase scales! If you need excavating, paving or scales for personal or commercial uses we highly recommend these Scouting Friendly companies!!
Life Projects for You Star Scouts!
If you are a Start Scout and working towards Life rank, you will need to coordinate a project – not just put in service hours. We have projects for you! Power washing and water sealing picnic benches and treating the prayer garden benches at DUMC. Here are opportunities for you to coordinate a small project and demonstrate leadership abilities. The weather is not going to wait for you so get moving!
Is Your Uniform Complete & Correct?
A Scout of Troop 6 is expected to maintain a full Class A (Field) uniform and have all his current badges and patches sewn correctly on the shirt and merit badge sash. This is critical to your advancement and obtaining a Scoutmaster Conference and Board of Review for your next rank. Can’t sew? Mrs. Johnson will handle that for you!
