Scouts will leave New Canaan from the Methodist Church on Friday afternoon May 17 at 4pm proceeding to Burlingame State Park in Rhode Island, where we will camp out Friday and Saturday evenings. Saturday morning we will take the Point Judith Ferry to Block Island, rent bicycles and tour the island by bike. Bike helmets should be brought with you.

Troop 31 is proud to announce that we will be holding a double Eagle Court of Honor for George Harvey and Stewart Kiesling on June 17 from 7:30 - 9:00 PM at the Waveny House, on the patio and grass being the house.

Troop 31,

We will be holding a follow up session for First Aid Merit Badge for those Scouts who attended the first session we held in the fall. We anticipate being able to complete the badge at this session. The meeting will be held on May 25, 9 am - 12 noon at the Church.

Advancement Notice:

Effective immediately and applicable to all districts, all merit badge counselor adult applications and Merit Badge Counselor Information form (attached) must be sent to Kathy Znosko, Registrar at our council office. Do not send them to the District Advancement Chair. Per National and our new Council Exec, the district will receive the Merit Badge Counselor Information Form only after the background check is completed. There is a great concern that social security numbers and other contact information is being handled too many times and also that in some cases, background checks are being missed. The past procedures have varied from district to district but will not create a consistent procedure applicable to all districts everywhere. Should you have any questions, please email Chester Wickett at cwickett@optonline.net.

Scouts will leave New Canaan from the Methodist Church on Saturday morning at 7:30 am proceeding to the parking lot for the start of the trip in Falls Village, which is near Kent, CT. Food will be provided by the Patrols, who will purchase enough food for the patrol plus 2 adults, with the exception of lunch on Saturday which should be brought with you. Since we are backpacking, freeze dried food only. We will depart the Kent area Sunday morning and plan on being back to the Church parking lot no later than 12 noon for Scout pick-up. The cost per Scout is $35.00.
