2023 Outings Planning

Patrol outing, Upcoming Events

by Scoutmaster Julieann White

Troop 48,

As you know, one of our goals is “TO KEEP THE OUTING IN SCOUTING !

Each year we prepare a calendar for the next year.  For 2023, let’s say we will have a proposed calendar ready for the Patrol Leaders Council to review and approve at the October 25th PLC.  That gives us time to make revisions and have the calendar ready to distribute early in December.  Mr. Browning has agreed to oversee this process and collect ballots.

The ballot will be made available in two ways, a hand-out at regular meetings and by download. Please plan for your “team” to review the ballot during patrol corners and return them to Mr. Browning between now and October 18th. “TEAMS” are our patrols, the Leadership Corps, and the registered adult leaders. Each person should vote for two “Super Activities” for Calendar Year 2024, and ten other outings for Calendar Year 2023. Returned ballots must have a name and no more than 10 regular outings and 2 Super Activities marked, or they will not be counted. Please place your completed ballots in the “Ballot” box at Mr. Browning’s station.

Remember, A Scout is Loyal, but is also Brave. Don’t be afraid to step out of the comfort of old reliable outings and accept the adventures and challenges of untested outings. There are lots of outings to surmount.

2021 Outings Planning

Upcoming Events

by Scoutmaster Hasbrouck

Troop 48,

As you know, one of our goals is “TO KEEP THE OUTING IN SCOUTING !

Each year we prepare a calendar for the next year.  For 2021, let’s say we will have a proposed calendar ready for the Patrol Leaders Council to review and approve before Thanksgiving.  That gives us time to make revisions and have the calendar ready to distribute early in December.  Mrs. White and Mr. Gould have agreed to oversee this process, knowing that the pandemic may upset our best efforts.

Attached is our listing of outings done in the past..  Please plan for your “team” to make sure each of your members has a chance to mark their choices on a copy and return it to me during the month of October.  “TEAMS” are our four patrols, the Leadership Corps, and all of the adult leaders, represented by the monthly adult leaders meeting.  Each person should vote for two “Super Activities” and ten other outings.  It will be helpful if each “Team Leader” will see that each of their members puts their name on the trip list, marks their 12 choices, and that ballots are collected and put in a big envelope for me.  You may give the envelopes to Mr. Hasler or Mr. Miller to leave for me in our CHPC “Office” in the Jones Bldg.

Thanks  in advance for getting this important voting completed.

Additional comment by Mr. Hasler:

Please do not limit yourself just to the previous ideas list, but also submit new concepts which is how hiking to Channels Area National Preserve, Virgin Falls outing, climbing at Obed National Wild & Scenic River, Machu Picchu, Peru super trip were added in recent years. Maybe a 5-mile introductory kayaking trip with Adventure Mendota or visiting another BSA camp (Daniel Boone, Latimer Reservation, Buck Tom) could allow affordable but different experiences.
