On Saturday April 4th, the Troop 840 Committee approved individual Scouts to earn service hours by collecting trash in their neighborhoods and local parks during the quarantine. When performing these service hours, scouts are reminded to follow all local and state guidance for social distancing. Scouts should perform these service hours with a parent or family members who live under the same roof and NOT with other indiviudals with whom they do not cohabitate on a regular basis.

Patrol meetings will be held virtually starting April 7th at 7 PM. Watch your inbox for more details from your patrol leaders.

There is a great article about MBs that Scouts can work on from home. One note of caution: as the comments remind us, not all these MBs can be completed at home, but they can all be worked on at home. To see that article, click HERE.

Summer camp registration deadline extended! All current Scouts and Scouters must sign-up for summer camp by 31 March to be guaranteed a spot.  After the 31st of March, all remaining summer camp spots will be awarded to new Scouts crossing over before they will be given to existing Scouts. Summer camp is tons of fun and a great way to earn Merit Badges and complete other requirements for advancement.

Due to Corona virus concerns, ALL T840 events are CANCELLED for March. Meanwhile, Scouts should work on rank advancement and MBs.
