Register for Troop Notifications on Remind.com

Hello Troop 349!!!

Attached is a pdf to set up Remind Me.  Remind Me is a way to improve communication through texting.  How it works is some of the adults and I are the “teachers” and we can send out a text to anyone subscribed to this. If you need to  reply to the text message it goes directly to the “teachers” so myself and any adult who is a “teacher”.  However no reply is necessary and will not go to everyone.  This is not a group text.

RemindMe Instructions for bsa349

How to set it up is really easy and its free.  There are two ways and both are on the attachment.  One is to actually download the Remind Me  app, which is named Remind 101.  Then you make an account, then go to “join class” and then put in the class code @bsa349.  You should now be all set up.

 

The second way to join is to do it by texting. Text the number 81010, this is like a cell number, then in the message you enter the class code @bsa349.  Hit send and then wait a second and you should get a reply text message that says you have joined the class.

 

We would like both the scouts and the parents to join the class so everyone gets all of the important communications from the troop.  If you have any questions please text me at (631) 560-4170

 

Thank you

Tim Nagosky

Ode to a Trailer


Ode to a Trailer

Our Trust stead!

Our Trust stead!

Come, Come, do not be shy,

Yawgoog week is coming nigh,

We gather around the our trusty stead

To bring to Yawgoog all we need!

Our trusty vessel stands in wait,

ready to receive our belongings with open tailgate.

While she will creak and groan, she will not complain,

Because she knows her duty, to lead us on our summer campaign!

Come, Come do not be shy, Yawgoog week will fly right by,

With so many adventures we had,

We have no time to be sad.

Swimming, climbing, and trails to roam,

The Troop turns Yawgoog into its home!

Come, come do not cry, Yawgoog week has flown right by.

With tails of bravery and intrigue galore,

All to be regaled back on Long Island shore.

With stories to tell, and friendships made,

we can hardly believe that that we made the grade.

Farewell, farewell, old trusty friend,

I will see you in September to camp again!
