Monday Night Meeting, 12/4/17
Tonight we will be working on the ovals we cut out last week. Please have the boys bring a picture of themselves to the meeting, wallet size like you get from school. Maximum size should be 3.5 inches tall, and 2.5 inches wide. We will be gluing the pictures on the ovals to create a decoration / ornament.
Regular meeting, class A uniforms.

Monday Night Meeting, 11/27/17
We will be cutting some thin plywood this evening, less than a quarter of an inch thick. We will be cutting ovals out of this plywood, so if the family has a coping saw (picture attached), and a clamp to hold the wood to a table, that would help. If not that’s fine, we will share and have extra. A cordless jig saw with a very thin blade would also work. Remember we will be cutting the curves on an oval. Please, no electric saws. We will also be sanding the edges when the ovals are cut out.

Webelos Woods
2017-11-03 18:00 - 2017-11-05 11:30 | NY
Hi all,
Webelos Woods is going to be on the November 3-5 weekend this year, Friday evening to Sunday morning (times on this post are approximate).
I would like to see most of the troop there helping out, so please plan on it.
We will be manning the BB Range, and I don’t know what site we will be camping in yet.
The cost will be $20.00 per boy for the food for both boy scouts and cub scouts. The adults are free.
I have Friday Nov 3 off, so I may try and go out to camp a little early. We will work that out later.
I will be sending another email next week to get the count worked out.
Thanks,
BP

Justin Behrens Eagle Scout Project
2017-10-21 09:00 - 15:00 | NY
Justin is working on his project this weekend, Saturday 10/21/17 from 9:00 am till later in the afternoon. This is at the First Presbyterian Church of Port Jefferson. It’s on your right side as you head into town (Port Jeff). Justin will be working on putting some brick work about a sign at the church, and building some picnic tables. Let’s do what we can to help Justin. If the boys can stop by even for just an hour or two to help out, that would be great.
Note: The time says it ends at 3:00 p.m., but Eagle Scout Projects can go way later (or slightly earlier) than that sometimes.

Pie Orders due to Liz Roder
2017-10-18 | NY
Hi all,
In the past we have organized a cheesecake and pie ordering fundraiser from Holey Moses for Thanksgiving, but last year we dropped it and some people were disappointed.
So, we are running it again this year for those that want it, and as part of our total fundraising options.
We handed out some order forms last weekend at the pancake breakfast, and I have attached them to this post (see below).
The order forms and money need to be handed into Liz by Wednesday October 18th.
Thanks for your support,
BP

Personal Fitness Merit Badge
2017-09-09 09:00 | NY
If you remember in the beginning of the summer, Mr. Granger met with some boys to finish up Personal Fitness MB, and others were invited to start the MB that day. For those that started that day, the final testing date is this Saturday. I believe Mr. Granger setup a time and date for this well in advance, but he has to change the time from 10:00 am this Saturday morning to 9:00 am. So for those boys finishing up, you can meet with Mr. Granger at the JFK Middle school this Saturday, 9/9/17 to test, and finish up the badge if you have finished the paperwork, and have been working on the exercise schedule. I have a message from Mr. Granger below.
Please tell Personal Fitness Merit Badge Scouts and their parents who are finishing the 12 weeks and who want to begin the 12 weeks to meet me at JFK track tomorrow, Saturday, September 9, at 9:00 a.m. They need to bring the Personal Fitness Merit Badge packet, a pencil, comfortable clothing, a gym or beach towel and a drink. I will be dressed in orange!

Eagle Scout COH
2017-08-06 14:00 - 18:00 | NY
The Eagle Scout COH for Maclaine Greisch, and Phil Keskes is this Sunday, 2:00 pm at the Elk’s lodge in Centereach, 41 Horseblock Road.
This is a great opportunity for the boys to see the awards that an Eagle Scout received for achieving this rank. I need them to show up an hour early so we can go through the ceremony once, and they know what they are doing. So that would be 1:00 pm on Sunday.
We will be meeting at the lodge at 9:00 am to setup. We can use all the help we can get for the setup. More hands help things go much quicker.
Thanks for your support,

Meeting time is 10:00 am to 11:00 am at the JFK middle school track.
He will also allow boys to start the badge up if they want to do it over the summer.

Flag Day Ceremony at the Atria - Scouts Needed ! ! !
2017-06-11 13:00 - 14:30 | NY
Every year, the Elk’s hold a Flag Day ceremony for the seniors at the Atria in Setauket across route 347 from BJs.
Our scouts carry in flags for the ceremony, and we show our support for the Elks, and the seniors at the facility.
And there are usually dignitaries that attend.
This will be from 1:00 till about 2:30 pm, Class A uniforms. I need about half a dozen boys for this, not the whole troop.
Please let me know as soon as you can if your boys can help out with this.
This does count as community service toward rank advancement.
