Calling for New Venture Crew Adult Leaders
Troop
We have lost several adult leaders for the Venture Crew. We need some help in recruiting more in time for the recharter deadline. We need volunteers to sign up as crew leaders so we can keep the crew going? This can be a dual Troop/Crew membership so if they are already Troop 48 adult leaders and have completed youth protection training then there’s no cost involved. They will have to complete a new adult leader application. I’d be happy to talk to anyone about what a Crew leader does and get an application to them.

Well done Troop 48. We had a wonderful time at our 2020 Shooting Fair. Many thanks to the cheerful service that our adult leaders provided, the enthusiastic youth that participated and the supremely qualified, steady hands of our archery and shooting range instructors. It is now time to capture the moment.
TO ALL YOUTH: (especially historians)
Volunteer to provide a spirited, positive descriptions (accurate expeditious reporting is preferable to less timely works of art) of the events that took place this weekend. We have several areas that need attention and an abundance of potential contributors. Pick your subject and send Tim Schaefer or Thomas Gould a note with your intentions.

- Feast
- Dessert Competition
- Campfire
- Movie Night
- Church Service

- There will be an opportunity to sell cards in an organized fashion in the future.
- There is a large order of cards that will come in this week.
- There is NO system to set up getting those cards to you (the end seller) until normal Scout operations restarts.
- If you did not get cards and want them let me know exactly how many (ASAP)
- If you have a need to more cards let me know exactly how many (ASAP)
- If you have other questions about Expo let me know.
Yours in Scouting

IMPORTANT: Latest Developments COVID-19 Message from Sequoyah Council March 16, 2020
| Dear Scouting Family, As situations continue to change regarding the health concerns around COVID-19 (coronavirus) and the impact on our community, we needed to update our Scouting family with the latest developments. Today, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee followed the actions by Virginia Governor Ralph Northam in closing all schools for several weeks. As we follow the school schedule for our meetings and office hours, the Sequoyah Council Service Center and Scout Shop will be closed until April 5th. 2020. This closure will include all unit, district, and council functions. We will reevaluate the timeframe for closure as we learn more from local, state, and national health organizations. We ask that all Scouting families connect with us on our social media pages for the latest updates and information. Service Center Support The Sequoyah Council staff will be available to answer your questions and support needs by phone each Tuesday and Thursday from 11:00am-2:00pm. The Scout Shop will be available for phone and mail orders during those hours. The service center lobby will remain closed until April 5th. Sequoyah staff members will be working at home during this closure. Each of us are reachable by phone and email for your Scouting needs. Status of Unit Events (Packs, Troops, Crews, and Posts) Effective immediately and until further notice, we are directing all units to suspend meetings and activities until April 5th. The storefront sale of Scout Cards will be rescheduled at the request of Food City and other card partners. BSA Polices to Prevent the Spread of Illness The Boy Scouts of America continues to have policies and procedures in place that help protect participants from contracting an illness at large Scouting events. These include the Annual Health and Medical Record and the Pre-Event Medical Screening Checklist. Everyday Preventive Measures Even with those important policies in place, it is critical that we all take these preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases:
If you have a fever, cough, or other symptoms associated with COVID-19, or if you believe you may have been exposed to COVID-19, you should isolate yourself and not attend any Scouting events. People who think they may have been exposed to COVID-19 should contact their healthcare provider immediately. Should you have any questions or concerns about a specific upcoming event or activity, please reach out to your local District executive. We will do everything we can to answer your questions using the information available to us. |
