| Scout Parents:
I found a brief summary describing how
parents can be involved in their son's scouting experience - scan down
the left to see what best describes your situation, then scan the
possibilities for your involvement. Click
Here.
Pages extracted from the "Scout
Parenting Book"
We'll need some parent/adult
volunteers to learn the Committee positions from the current
people so that we won't lose any knowledge as people graduate
from the troop. Nobody has indicated that they are leaving
their positions but we need to "Be
Prepared." We'll probably schedule a parent meeting
in March to ask for people to staff committee positions and
"events" (like Mrs. Schuster did for Popcorn, others
who have handled the Brecksville Home Days Pop Sale and Summer
Camp Family Night dinner) and putting outings together like the
Gettysburg trip, etc.) |

Dec 7, 2011 Christmas party
at Kendall Cliffs
Thanks to any parents, Venture Crew, or guests for providing the extra
belayers we needed to keep our scouts "climbing the walls".
Dec. 7 will be our Christmas party at
Kendall Cliffs indoor wall climbing facility. Venture Crew is invited as
well.
See the facility details and waiver forms -
Click
Here.
You'll need a permission slip signed by a parent in order to use
the climbing walls. The form says that it needs to be signed
in front of the staff person or notarized - but this is not true for
scout groups - presumably because of the scout insurance.
For Scouts in the troop, the cost for
climbing is covered from the pop sale proceeds. Pizza party is
free for everyone.
Many scouts will be driven to Kendall Cliffs by
parents and parents are welcome follow us out and to stay for the
pizza party. For those needing to carpool, we'll leave from
the St. Basil Parking lot at 6:50 pm. We're allowed to climb
until 9 but we'll likely be back to St. Basil's
by 9:30 pm.
Click
for Map
We'll have pizza, paper plates, drinks and cups to go along with the
snacks brought by the scouts.
Directions from St. Basil's: (It's about
2 miles east of Camp Manatoc - where we Summer Camp on the same road
the Manatoc is on.) Watch out for deer on the road because
they've been out in great numbers lately. Address for GPS is 60
Kendall Park Rd. Peninsula OH
Either go South on Brecksville Road to
Rt. 303 or go East on Rt. 82 to Riverview and go South to Rt. 303.
Rt. 303 east to Akron-Cleveland Rd.
(this is "Old Eight" - BP station on the corner). Turn right on to Akron-Cleveland road and proceed ½ mile to the yellow caution light (Kendall Park Rd.) Turn right on Kendall Park Rd. Appalachian Outfitters is 50-yards down on the left-hand side. |

Welcome new
scouts. Remember to:
1. Register,
(I can't transfer your records to the troop after March)
2.
Go over the Youth Protection insert in the front of your book with a
parent,
3.
Practice your "Scout" rank must-know's (just like Arrow of
Light)
4.
Part
A Health form ( which lists "things we might need to
know" and who we should call in case of an emergency.
5.
See the "Getting Started
with Troop 652" page
Mr.
Jack Wygonski will be issuing troop tents in April & May. There's a
form that goes with the tents saying that you'll return the tent in
good condition when you leave the troop or you'll pay $50 toward
helping to replace the tent. A parent must read and sign the
form in addition to the scout signing it.
All of the new scouts should earn
their "Scout" rank as quickly as possible. Please remember to go over the youth protection stuff in the front
of the book with a parent or guardian! Practice the
other requirements and ask for a Scoutmaster Conference!
All
new scouts should have received a video DVD showing how to do all
the requirements through first class rank.

The Patrol box maintenance instructions
have finally been posted.
|
| 2010 |
Summit County is now also a
"Quarantine" county. This should mean that we can take
firewood from Cuyahoga County into Summit County (Manatoc, for
example) and back. |
| 2006 |
Emerald Ash Borer Notice for Firewood
Cuyahoga County has been added to the quarantine list for the
Emerald Ash Borer. No non-coniferous firewood (hardwood) is to leave
a quarantined area under any circumstances. Do not to take any firewood
out to Beaumont or Manatoc/Butler or Avery Hand.
Non-coniferous means any hardwood but would not
include pine.) Current updated information is available at:
