Hello Troop 82,

This week's special announcements:  This Monday is Memorial Day!  Our troop has traditionally participated in the Penndel/Hulmeville Memorial Day Parade held the Saturday before Memorial Day.  Although participation is not mandatory, it is highly encouraged.  Please muster at the troop room at 8:00 a.m.  We will then car-pool to the parade start in Hulmeville.  Class A with full bling is required.  Furthermore, the troop has been asked to perform a flag ceremony at the end of the parade to retire the old flag at the war memorial in Penndel.  Six or more scouts are needed for this.  I would also like to say that participation in a flag ceremony is a requirement for rank advancement.

I know that this has been in the announcements for the past month but the troop is always in need of volunteers, especially for the upcoming 75th anniversary celebration on June 9th.  Please think of helping out...

• Video/Photography (Photographer)
• Memorabilia (Historian)
• Decorating
• Activities/Games (Scouts)
• Catering
• Cutlery/Paper Products (Quartermaster)
• Press (Scribe)
• Raffle
• Gift Bags

Other volunteer positions within the troop that don't really require that much effort:

• Fundraising (stickybuns, greenery, car wash, pancake breakfast, eat-out...pick one to help out with or make one up on your own)
• Summer camp coordinator (register scouts, attend orientation zoom meetings, merit badge registration, YOU DON'T NEED TO ATTEND SUMMER CAMP!)
• Camping adult...give our scoutmaster and assistant scoutmasters a break and come along on one or two monthly camping trips a year

Major volunteer positions that will be required over the 2024-2025 scout year.  These are "Key Three" positions that are required to be a chartered troop in Scouts BSA.  They do have more responsibilities than the other positions but are a very rewarding experience!

• Scoutmaster...scouting experience a plus but not a requirement
• Committee Chair...good organizer and delegator

Here are this week's announcements.

• Troop Meetings: 7:00 p.m. - Always Remember to Bring Your Scout Book!
• May 27th:  Class B - Memorial Day -  Collecting, Inventing, Camping Merit Badge Requirements
• June 3rd:  Class A - Scoutmaster Conferences, Board of Reviews, Merit Badge Requirements

• June 1st:  Breakfast for Pack 82

Hello Troop 82,

This week's special announcements:  The troop has been asked to help do some outdoor cleanup at the Richardson House in Langhorne starting at noon on Sunday, May 5th lasting only a couple of hours.  Remember, all ranks beyond Scout require service hours and this is a great opportunity.  Please signup on the calendar through the link below.  Thank you everyone for a great car-wash!  Just putting a warning out there to the adults and scouts in the troop about the May camping trip.  The May camping trip will not have Mr. Gutherman while Mr. Papp can only stay until Saturday afternoon so additional adults will be needed to maintain two deep leadership.  The May trip is an advancement weekend for all the scouts below Second Class and is to be run by all scouts First Class and above so there is a need for First Class and above scouts for the weekend.  Finally...

Congratulations to our new Senior Patrol Leader, Blake Angilini, and all the rest of the newly elected scouts.

I know that this has been in the announcements for the past month but the troop is always in need of volunteers, especially for the upcoming 75th anniversary celebration on June 9th.  Please think of helping out...
