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!

Camp Cards


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 17th will the final day to turn in your payment.

Waterway Cleanup (8/31)


We will be meeting at Hounz Lane Park during our regular meeting time on Monday, August 31, to continue our pledge to keep that portion of Goose Creek clean.  This service project will take the place of our regular Monday meeting.  The hours will count as ecological service hours for anyone who participates.  Please bring gloves.
