The 2008 Troop Family Guidebook

The Family Guidebook has been updated.  It is a great resource for questions you might have about the troop.  You can access it from the troop's home page at www.troop19.org

There is also a PowerPoint presentation on our website that summarizes the key points in the Troop Family Guidebook.

Topics include:

• Introduction
• Outdoor Program, including information about Summer Camp, High Adventure, and Transportation (we need drivers!)
• Equipment, including a set of Camping Hints
• Wreath Sales and Scout Accounts
• Advancement
• Conduct, including Rules, Uniform requirements, and Attendance Policy
• Adults On Outings including a Q&A for the adult who has never camped before.
• Job Descriptions for all of our many volunteer positions (both youth & adult)
• History of Troop 19, including a list of our Eagle Scouts and Scoutmasters.
• Appendices, including Patrol Checklist, Personal Checklist, and the very important Participation Contract which is to be returned to troop with scout and parent signature.

New Parent Orientation This Tuesday Night

All new parents are encouraged to attend.  If you are not a new parent you may attend.  This does provide a good refresher and you may pick-up something that you missed a few years ago.  Or, we welcome you feedback and things that you learnt as a new parent that would be good to pass along.  In other words, this meeting is open to all Troop 19 parents:  new, not so new, and those in between.

There is also a New Parent Orientation Presentation on our website that summarizes the key points in the Troop Family Guidebook. We will use the presentation as a basis for discussion on Tuesday night. 

We will provide an overview of the troop, expectations of the scouts, yearly activities, and what you as a parent can expect.  Please join us for an informative session and feel free to ask questions any time (at the meeting, after the meeting, next week, next month, etc.).

Any interest in the District's Family Hike on Saturday April 26th?  

The troop only has the wreath sales as a fund raiser yet we don't want to discourage anyone from missing summer camp.  A number of scouts have joined the troop since the wreath sales and do not have any money in their scout account.    This is an optional activity.  If there is interest and an adult willing to coordinate this for us, let us know. 

Saturday, April 26th

9:00 - 3:00 (you can begin your hike anytime during the day)

Mine Falls Park - Nashua

The hike is between 3 -5 miles
