Previously: Recently we went bike riding, but it was raining so we didn’t bring bikes, and we started at a bowling alley, and while we were there we went bowling, without bikes, and didn’t ride bikes. We went bowling! Everybody had a lot of fun bowling and not biking in the cold rain. It was nice to see people having lots of safe fun during these times.
This week: We will be going over automotive safety. We will learn where tools and parts are stored in case of emergency. Class B uniforms. We will be outside since the car won’t fit through the door of the Church – check the weather and dress appropriately. We will tackle more advanced car stuff on the weekend of November 14-15 – check your emails for info when this is finalized. If you are interested in applying what you learn to the Automotive Maintenance Merit Badge see Mr. Fedina for a blue card and to find a counselor. Remember masks are mandatory. Bandanas and neckerchiefs are not masks. Masks are masks.
Troop 169 will be donating a Thanksgiving Basket to the Otisville-Mount Hope Presbyterian Church Food Pantry. Baskets are distributed via the Food Pantry and Minisink Cares. Donations will be collected at our next meeting on November 5. Please give as generously as you are able however please do not overextend yourself. Contact Lisa Walsh if you have any questions. Any extra donations will be brought to the Church and used in other baskets or donated to their Food Pantry which serves community members year round. Below is a link to the sign up genius and a list of the items needed.
It will look different but we WILL be having our annual December lock-in. It will be December 19-20 at the new Mount Hope Community Center (behind the Senior Center). More details as we get closer.
