Troop 48 was founded in 1946, and in that time we have had countless families be involved with our troop many leaving a Legacy, we hope that the guest that were in attendance felt the same enjoyment today as they have had in the past.

Many past Eagle’s joined us today. Troop 48 has had 165 Eagle Scouts,  and many others that did not earn the distinguished rank of eagle, BUT walked away with leadership, encouragement , and growth from memories.

It’s not always about the badge but is always about the amazing Journey

20210816 CHPC COVID PROTOCOL UPDATE

Administration

2021 CHPC Covid Protocols – August EditionDownload

Greetings; 

As shared in at the court of honor

Our Troop worked hard to work with our charter as we have for 75 years to offer a proper productive experience. 

We have enjoyed multiple different activities and events yes unfortunately some have been canceled, changed and post dated over this very odd covid year but we pushed through when others did not 

As numbers have been caped and protocol has been mandated again 

I understand that many people may not agree with the mask mandate however 

I thank you for your support and willingness to work with the church they have a special team working with the section that have developed a plan, this  is something I would like to address 

With rising numbers we will have another change we will be able to meet on church grounds however we will not be able to continue with indoor meetings we will not have to wear masks when outside but will only have access to the office and a bathroom. The office use will be available in rotation .

I am praying that this recent change will be short lived ( we are looking at October) with 100 people coming together from multiple different counties and school district we we look at the uptick in covid cases and it’s currently bad.  

The urgent cares are overwhelmed with testing and if we do not work together taking small steps to stop the spreading of this virus we could have to go back to even more restrictions .  

Let’s work together to address this situation positively noting that we have a meeting place that supports and encourages our progress and has done so throughout multiple different changes, The church is letting us use their building as our own; let’s proceed accordingly teaching our youth understanding and respect and appreciation while offering grace to a difficult situation while  wearing a mask. Note :The meeting policy until October 1, 2021, or longer if covid surge continues.
Effective immediately, we are not allowed to use any of the church meeting rooms for Meetings Troop 48  will overcome and adapt  additional information will be provided.
Note We can use the restrooms by the Scout closet but no other interior spaces. Adult leaders can enter the Jones Building to get supplies but should not stay inside.
However, we can continue to use any and all church grounds for outdoor meetings and they are leaving the vans outside the awning so we can use that space when it rains. 
For our planned Pack meeting and new parent intro,For Pack 348 is  on 8/31, anyone who can be available to help please do so. We need to support or Scouting family 
The plan is  we can convert to an outdoor meeting and spread out in the parking lot and/or under the awning. We can definitely plan some fun outdoor activities like softball, kickball and soccer 
Thanks for all of your leadership and patience as we respond to this complicated situation.
We got this !!!
