Troop Procedures at Troop meetings, etc.

Hello Troop 101,
Please read.  More information of Troop Meetings will be coming in a separate email. 
Thanks,

Troop Procedures at Patrol Outings, Troop Meetings, Campouts

We want you all to know that we have the safety of all the members of our troop in mind.  We have to follow the guidelines of the government, state, local, BSA, and charter organization, our charter organization being the ultimate deciding factor. 

BSA and Noblesville First United Methodist Church are both following the Back on Track Indiana Plan Governor Holcomb’s Roadmap to Safely Here is the link if you would like to read https://backontrack.in.gov/

This all is subject to change as guidelines change so we need to be flexible.

This is also all voluntary.  We are not making anyone attend that is not comfortable attending. We want everyone to feel safe and be safe.

We have been speaking to the charter over the last couple of weeks getting this all figured out.  They have asked for us to start meeting in smaller groups and after a couple weeks we can be fully together.

Starting June 22nd we will bring out half the troop for a fun social distancing activity, the following week the other half of the troop will get to do the same fun social distance activity. These will take place at Teter Farms and emails will be sent to the patrols invited for each week.

While we are out at Teter for these first few meeting you will bring your own camp chair if you would like to sit, otherwise you will sit in the grass or stand. We will not be under the shelter at the picnic tables (per the charter request for the time being)

We will have hand sanitizer

Restrooms will not be available (make sure you go before you come)

Masks are recommended but are optional

If you don’t feel well , You have a cough, sore throat, fever, have been around someone that has been sick or have symptoms (cough, sore throat, fever), or someone that has Covid -19.  DO NOT COME TO THE MEETING.  Let me repeat that. DO NOT COME TO THE MEETING.  I hope you understand how serious we are.  If you come and are sick you will immediately be sent back home. 

Patrol Outings 

You are all free to start having meetings.

We are strongly suggesting they be outdoors . Some good outing ideas would be fishing, campouts (each scout must be in a separate tent)  campfire – (cook s’mores or a meal), scavenger hunts, hiking, biking, fly a kite, you get the idea.

All the above rules apply.

You should have hand sanitizer

Masks are recommended but are optional If you don’t feel well, you have a cough, sore throat, fever, have been around someone that has been sick or have symptoms (cough, sore throat, fever), or someone that has Covid -19.  DO NOT COME TO THE OUTING .  Let me repeat that. DO NOT COME TO THE OUTING.  I hope you understand how serious we are.  DO NOT COME TO THE OUTING .    If you come and are sick you will immediately be sent back home.  It will not be up for discussion.

Troop Campouts

Yes, we will actually be having some camp outs.  The first one is scheduled for late July.  Mr. Rohn will be sending out details and signups later.

All scouts will camp in separate tents.  

We will have hand sanitizer and you should have a personal one (it’s a new 10 essentials)

Masks are recommended but are optional

If you don’t feel well, you have a cough, sore throat, fever, have been around someone that has been sick or have symptoms (cough, sore throat, fever), or someone that has Covid -19.  DO NOT COME AT ALL.  Let me repeat that.
