Another Troop 327 Wood Badger!

Congratulations to Scoutmaster Chris Kappesser on earning his Wood Badge! Mr. Kappesser received his Wood Badge beads, neckerchief and woggle at last Monday’s meeting, marking the successful completion of his Wood Badge training.

 

Wood Badge is the most advanced adult leader training available. A Scouter participating in Wood Badge has the opportunity to understand Scouting as a family of interrelated, values-based programs providing age-appropriate activities for youth. It recognizes contemporary leadership concepts and will help the participant discover how they are relevant to the Scouting movement and apply the skills learned as a member of a successful working team.

Wood Badge training is available to ANY registered adult leader. You do NOT have to be an “experienced” Scouter or expert in Scoutcraft to attend. As any of us fellow Wood Badgers would tell you, Wood Badge training is fun, very worthwile, and applicable to your everyday life outside of Scouting, even at home or work.

If you are interested in finding out more about Wood Badge, please reach out to Mr. Hiland or Mr. Kappesser.

James G. Eagle Scout Project (8/29 - 8/30)

James G. is seeking volunteers from the troop to assist with the upcoming Eagle Scout project at St. Albert. The project will involve creating raised flower beds that will be used by the preschool to teach students about plants and flowers, and how they grow.

The project is planned for Aug. 29 and Aug. 30 (if necessary). Scouts should plan to arrive promptly at 9 a.m., and work will continue until approximately 2 p.m. Lunch will be served, but all scouts should bring water bottles.

COVID-19 Meeting Requirements

We have been asked by the Parish office to remind all Scouts, adult leaders and parents of the COVID-19 requirements during our meetings and other activities while on the St. Albert campus.

1. Please do not attend the meeting if you have a temperature greater than 100.4 or have been sick or experienced any symptoms of COVID-19.  We will begin taking the temperatures of all Scouts and other participants, including adults, before the start of each meeting.  Please check your temperature at home first!  Parents, if you are dropping your child off for the meeting, please do not leave until his temperate has been taken.
2. Masks must be worn indoors while on the St. Albert campus at all times, unless eating or drinking.
3. We will continue to meet outdoors, unless there is inclement weather.  We are asking Scouts and adults to wear masks outdoors, unless doing physical activity.
4. Please remember to social distance, indoors and outdoors, by remaining at least six feet apart.
5. Please bring a bottle of water to each meeting and use the restroom before leaving home.  Several Scouts have been entering the building to get drinks of water and use the restroom.  We want to avoid this and stay out of the building as much possible.
6. If you have any questions or concerns, please address them with Mr. Kappesser or Mr. Hiland.

Update on the Troop Trailer

You may have noticed that the troop trailer was missing at last week’s meeting.  On our way to Barren River Lake last weekend, we had an issue with one of the axels and had to leave the trailer at the Elizabethtown Cracker Barrel.  The trailer has been fixed by Skaags RV in Elizabethtown and is ready to be put back into service!  Many thanks to Rob W. for working with Skaags to get the repairs done and hauling the trailer back to St. Albert for us!

Reminder that all troop families are asked to purchase 15 camp cards to sell or use.  Please bring your check in the amount of $75, made payable to St. Albert the Great.  The Council has extended the deadline for collecting Camp Card money.  Monday, August 17^th will the final day to turn in your payment.
