Due to the current growth in cases of Covid-19 all troop meetings and planned campouts will be suspended until further notice.  Please keep an eye on your email for further announcements.  The decision was made in conjunction with the March 17th announcement to deter gatherings of ten people or more.  

It is that time of year, it is recharter time.  Recharter is $125.00 this year and if you are in the OA that is $25.00, please make arrangements with Mrs. Cole to get this paid for the 2020 scouting year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  This week the meeting is a PLC starting at 7:30.  There will not be an adult committee meeting this week, only the PLC.  Items to have ready by PLC - Trappers Rendezvous camping (GOING or NOT GOING) Need final count.  Please talk to your parents before saying you can go.  This coming Sunday, Jan 12, 2020, will be the Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Augie and Patrick.  Please make plans to be at the church by 1:30 Sunday afternoon.  

It is with a heavy heart that I send this eblast.  Mr. Marcoux, one of the four founding members of Troop 81, has passed away.  His service will be this Saturday, Jan 4, 2020 at St. Pius X Church at 11:00am.  The Marcoux family has asked the troop to do the presentation of the colors at the beginning of the service.  I would like to have some scouts sign up to be a part of this.  You MUST be in FULL CLASS A UNIFORM for this.  Please sign up ASAP so I can let the Marcoux family how many people we will have in attendance. 

Congratulations to Troop 81 Eagle Scout and Deacon Jon Fincher for giving his first Chritmas homily last night at St. Pius X! Jon gave us a great message about coming home.  I hope that you all have the opportunity to see family and friends this holiday and take the time to reflect on your relationship with God.

Reminder, there is a troop meeting tonight.  Mr. Kissel and I will not be there but Mr. Nedvidek and Mr. Dimond will be there to help with the meeting.  Please talk about the upcoming campout; get some attendance info on who will be camping and work on a theme for the campout (movie theme).  We will have 8 webelos camping with us from Pack 58 and we want to make a good impression so they want to come join our troop.  I would like to have as many scouts from the troop there as possible to show the webelos that we are a fun group to join.
