Lots to communicate.  Please read the entire e-blast.

Troop Activities:

In the next couple weeks, the Troop will be considering different ways to slowly and safely resume some limited functions.  Although there is no plan to begin regular Troop meetings in the very near future, we may have some limited activities.  Some of this depends on direction from the Council as well as directives from State and local governments.  Please stay alert for new messages.

As you are probably aware, the Governor has extended the stay at home order through the end of the month. Although things are opening up slowly, we are still, for the near future, canceling all in person scout activities.  Please stay tuned to these e-blasts and e-mail from Announce@troop161.org if things change.  

Despite the unfortunate but necessary cancellations for the next weeks, there are still some activities the in which our scouts can continue to be engaged.

Members and  Family of Troop 161  - 

In order to keep ourselves, our families and our loved ones safe inthe coming weeks ,(and to be consistent wiht the schools),  the Troop events are have been cancelled through at least the end of April.  This includes all Troop meetings April, the Canoe Trip set for 4/18-4/19, the Backpacking trip set for 4/24-4/26 and the outdoor climbing event tentatively set for 4/25.

Dear Troop 161:

Although we may not have the ability to meet in person for  the near future, the Troop is still here.  Given our directives to stay at home as much as possible, stay out of the schools and practice social distancing, we cannot meet, but there are some things we CAN do. 

The back packaging trip scheduled for March has been moved to April 24-26.  This event will be open to all older Scouts that can carry at least 35 lbs for 10 miles.  This will be a Philmont shakedown and is required for all Scouts that will be going to Philmonth in 2020.
