From Mr. Ryder to his merit badge participants: Hello Troop 349! I would like to remind the affected scouts about some updates for tomorrow night (scouts were told at last week’s meeting)
Personal Management – if your started this badge with me in March we will have a quick review tomorrow. Please bring your worksheets so we can see progress towards your goals. We plan to finish this badge at the May 24 troop meeting.
Bird Study – please bring any needed bird houses, etc. that you would like me to check. Assistant Scoutmaster and merit badge counselor Branden Kelledy had a great time teaching this badge! 😊 I will be handing out Blue Cards for this badge tomorrow at the troop meeting.
If you have any questions feel free to call/text (516-965-3382) or email me. ([email protected])

Remaining campers will return before 3pm. See you there. Uhaul, Bellemeade Ave, Smithtown.

Camporee families, we are having an interesting day. We plan to leave late this afternoon/early evening and will update you when we have a plan.

Camporee folks, See you there at Southhaven or across from u-haul at 5:45. Wear boots for the mud. Bring some $ for snacks and trading post. Sleeping bags, refillable water bottles, cards/games and extra scout spirit.

Camporee Campers FRIDAY: We will meet at the usual location across from the U-Haul at 5:45 and leave for Southaven County Park at 6pm. We don’t have enough adults going to transport the boys, so if anyone is able to drive some boys, that would be a big help! If you are driving directly there and not meeting us, please let me know via text on Friday. 631-764-6303. If you need to meet us Saturday morning, also let me know on Friday. Gates open on Saturday at 7:30, breakfast is 7:30, activities start at 9.
Have dinner at home before going on Friday, or bring something that doesn’t need to be cooked. There will be some food available for purchase. Food is provided for all meals on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday.
There will be plenty of liquid sunshine this weekend. Raincoats are a must, and if you have rain pants or other clothing to help keep your legs dry, that would be smart. This event is rain or shine and we’re outdoors all day. Bring a towel and warm dry clothes to change into. Bring Class A uniforms for Saturday under those raincoats!
We should be ready to leave Sunday by 10am. Again we need help getting back to Smithtown. Keep in touch if you’re able to assist with driving on Sunday. Let’s go have some fun!

Trampoline jumpers, please check in and pay Mr. Lasher upon arrival. I’m on the way!

For those joining us at Flight tonight, see you between 5:30-5:45 with your signed waivers. Class B or casual dress. Siblings and friends are welcome. $27 includes socks. Pickup is at 8pm.

We don’t have the school for tomorrow night’s meeting so we planned an outing at Flight Adventure Park (formerly Air Trampoline) at 1850 Lakeland Avenue, Ronkonkoma, NY 11779. Bring $27 cash/check to troop or Venmo the troop. This includes socks. Eat before you come. There are only some vending machines there. 5:45pm arrival. Jump 6-8pm. Bring a signed waiver (attached) to participate. rmd.me/pM.9tm2yjtC

Last chance to sign up for the Camporee is today. Please pay by 8pm tonight. $60. (Please never wait until the end of the meeting to submit payments and paperwork.) See you tonight, Class A, GHMS at 7:30. Bird Study class meets earlier as planned.
