Zroni Roll Orders Closing & Pickup Information

Troop 457

The Zroni Roll fundraiser is coming to a close this Tuesday and so far we have sold over 180 rolls!  That’s $900 to be credited to our Scout’s accounts!

REMINDERS

Just a few reminders as we close in on the deadline:

  • Online orders will be closing soon.  We hope to keep the orders open through our meeting on Tuesday, but we may need to close earlier to accommodate a request from Zroni Roll.
  • You must turn in any outstanding paper order forms AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  If you have a paper order form, take a picture of it and email/text it to Mr. Roy and myself.  You should also turn in your form along with all payments (except those taken through Venmo) at Tuesday’s meeting.

ORDER PICKUPS

Zroni Roll orders must be picked up in the ELC parking lot at 6PM on Friday, March 8.  If you cannot make that time, it is your responsibility to make other arrangements to pickup your order.

Seven Ranges Scout Reservation

Troop 457

Troop 457 is headed to Seven Ranges Scout Reservation for Summer Camp June 23 – 29!  We plan on holding two parent-only meetings about our Summer Camp trip later this year (Dates TBD):

  • March: We’ll review the camp registration process, share important information / timelines and answer any questions you may have about summer camp.
  • Early June: We’ll collect and review all required documentation (e.g., Health Forms, Permission Slips) and review what to pack for the week.

WHAT TO BE DOING NOW

The most important thing to be doing now is deciding whether your Scout will be heading to camp this summer.  Once you decide to attend, you / your Scout should be considering the following:

  • What merit badges would you like to take?  (See page 13 of the Leaders Guide linked below)
  • How will you pay for camp?  (We are working on the process for using Scout Account funds to pay for camp.)
  • Will you participate in the Camp Honors program?

Seven Ranges has a unique camp honors program called “Pipestone” that all campers are encouraged to participate in.  Most requirements must be completed at camp, but there are two requirements that should be completed before arriving at camp:

  • Earn the Scout Rank (you must have the Scout rank to be eligible to earn your Pipestone)
  • Collect Pipestone Wood (see the Guide to Pipestone Wood referenced below)

REFERENCE INFORMATION

We’re working to distill down the information you need for Summer Camp but in the meantime you can refer to the following information about the camp and its traditions.
