Troop Leadership Survey

Troop 17 will be electing Troop leadership positions in September.  Click here for the  Leadership Survey form, where each Scout can indicate his interest in a Troop Leadership position for the next several months.

The new Senior Patrol Leader will be elected on September 11th.  All other Troop Leadership positions for the fall through January, 2008 will be determined after the election, in mid-September.

Scouts are encouraged to print out, complete and return the last page of the form to me as soon as possible.  Paper copies of the form will also be available at our picnic and Court of Honor Tuesday, August 28.

Tuesday, August 28 – Picnic and Court of Honor

The fall activities for Troop 17 will begin Tuesday, August 28th with a picnic and Court of Honor at Parkwood Church from 6:00 p.m. to approximately 8:30 p.m. The Troop will provide hamburgers, buns, condiments, utensils, and drinks. For the rest of the food, each family is encouraged to bring a side dish based on the first letter of their Scout’s last name:

A-H Please bring a pasta or potato salad to accompany dinner

I-P Please bring a fruit, Jello, vegetable, or tossed salad to accompany dinner

R-Z Please bring a dessert

If you are bringing a grill, please plan to arrive at 4:45 to setup, and begin cooking at 5:00.
If possible, Assistant Senior Patrol Leaders and Patrol Leaders should arrive at 5:00 to help set up tables and prepare for the picnic.

Following the picnic, we will talk about the summer’s events, such as Summer Camp, Sea Base, and Pymatuning. We will also recognize merit badges and rank advancements earned since the beginning of summer.

The election for Senior Patrol Leader will be held at the September 11th Tuesday night meeting. It would help if those Scouts that are interested in running for the position would notify Mr. Riethmuller before the election takes place. At the picnic, leadership surveys will be handed out, so that Scouts can list their preferences for the remaining leadership positions. These positions and the new patrols will be determined in September.

Our regular Tuesday night meetingswill continue on September 4th at 7:30 at Parkwood Church.
