BSA Troop 191

Reminder this Thursday is the Holiday Party Night Troop Meeting. The meeting time is 6:30PM.

Pizza will be provided by the troop and each patrol was provided their item to bring. If you don’t know what your patrol was assigned just ask your Patrol Leader(s).

The holiday party also includes the annual Gift Exchange Game. Gifts should be limited to $15.00.

Also on Thursday we will have a tracking merit badge counselor attend so scouts that have partial merit badge requirements completed may bring those on Thursday night for signoff. Please note the Tracking Merit Badge is a centennial merit badge available only during 2010. This is the last opportunity where a counselor will be visiting our troop to signoff requirements.

Lastly on behalf of the troop committee let me express thanks to everyone for a great year in troop 191. Have a great and safe holiday season and prosperous New Year.

If you are going on the trip ,please have your  150 dollars in by Dec. 9th by check, cash or troop account. That includes lift tickets, 3 breakfasts,and  2 dinners.You will need to bring money for a fast food stop on the way there and on the way home. You will also need money for lunches on the mountains.Some mountains have waffle huts near the base lodge.Save some money for these. They are great treats.

It is recomended that you bring a small suitcase  rather than a backpack. Bring enough warm layers for skiing and riding. Vermont can get very cold.You will just need some sweats or jeans to wear around the house at night.Pack a bath towel, soap, toothbrush and what ever else you need for personal hygeine.

The rooms have bunks with mattresses. You may bring your sleeping bag or a sheet, blanket and pillow. If you need rental equipment check with Pelican or Hunterdon Ski and Sport.Don't forget helmets. Bring face cover in the event that it gets cold or windy enough to cause windburn or frostbite.Think snow.
