Scouts, Scouters and Parents:
In this time of pandemic isolation and in lieu of what would have been a meeting tonight, I want to offer you a Scoutmaster Minute.
Since 1908, Scouts across the world have volunteered during times of trouble. This is one of our defining characteristics. Albeit the restrictions of social distancing make this more difficult, I ask that you consider how you can continue to help your community. Is it a neighbor who needs lawn help? Is it picking up groceries for someone in the community that has mobility or health issues that would preclude him or her from making a trip to the store? Is it a reassuring phone call to someone who is fearful? I encourage you to look for creative ways to be a productive part of your community while maintaining your personal safety. You and your parents may discuss and determine what is within your family's comfort zone and safety protocol. I look forward to when we can meet again and get back outdoors together as a Troop. A Scout is Helpful.
Yours in Scouting,
Doug Henry
Scoutmaster, Troop 1396
