Message:

Given current public health recommendations, Troop 301 will be cancelling regular meetings for the foreseeable future.

So long as local schools are closed and the health department advises only small group meetings with 2-meter distancing, we will not meet indoors. Please note that the next few weeks are a great time to work on advancement such as merit badges and rank advancement! Scouts can meet with merit badge counselors over the telephone – provided that the meeting takes place using a speakerphone and another adult is present to hear the conversation. Scouts can work with their counselor and Ms. Nicholson to record progress through Scoutbook.
